D23:

Launched on March 10, 2009, D23 is the first official community for Disney fans.

First year membership is $74.99 plus tax. For this you receive a membership card, four issues of twenty-three (the clubs magazine), a certificate, access to member benefits, and more.

The official website is: http://www.disney.com/d23

FYI the name comes from the fact that Walt headed West to Hollywood in 1923 to start the company.

 

Geek's Thoughts:

First Year Thoughts: Like many I was skeptical when Disney first announced the D23. I thought the price point was too high and I was unsure if they could deliver. I have been proven wrong at almost every turn. So far I have been extremely impressed with the quality and variety of events and pieces that have gone into the community. My biggest complaint is that many of the events have been so limited in space and the demand so high (a victim of their own success?). I have been fortunate enough to get tickets to two of the "free" events. The first being the Disney Studio and Archive tour back in June and then the Disneyland USA event in July. Both were extremely well run events and it was great to participate in. I was also able to attend a couple of the pay events. I went to the D23 Expo in the fall, Magic and Merriment event at Walt Disney World in December and then the Frist Anniversary Party at Disneyland in March. The quarterly magazine is great and even the small details of shipping it in a cardboard box to protect it are appreciated. You can tell a fellow fan/disneygeek thought that up.
