...ARE INCREDIBLE.

I'm sure that they have been beatin' to death on these boards, but I haven't seen anything about them and had to comment on them just in case some Disney fans out there either hadn't heard of D23 or maybe has heard of it but really isn't sure as to what it is.

As for D23 the community, it's probably pretty cool but I have held out a long time on actually joining, even now as I write this I am not a member. You can get discounts and certificates and promos, all that stuff we like and I believe it's seventy-five dollars a year.

In my opinion though, the best part about the membership is the quarterly publications, which are self-titled "D23". They have incredible pictures including concept art for things that are going to happening at Disney and the likes(i.e. the MAJOR rennovations planned for DCA and Toy Story 3)! Also, they have great stories, obscure facts, and are everything a Disney nerd like me could ever dream of!

I bought two from my local Disney store (The publication is $15.95 so I'm still saving like ten dollars to just buy the publications and not become a member, because currently I don't need a certificate that tells me I receive the publication.)

I'm assuming it's worth it but are there any D23 members out there that can really give me some actual example on how being a member and not just buying these awesome magazines would be beneficial?

Thank You! And I apologize if I'm being a "newb" in any way!
 
Are you planning on attending the up coming Expo?

Best advice is to keep an eye on the official D23 site and Expo site for all the latest updates, and keep watching DisneyStore.com for new merchandise that comes out.

BTW, Welcome as a registered user :thumbsup2
 
I live near Los Angeles and Disney is less than an hour away so it would probably be a great injustice if I DID NOT attend the expo, it just seems like they are being so vague with details about it! I'm almost positive I'm going I would just like to know the line ups for each day so I can decide when to attend!

Are you attending? If you are, do you know specifically some of the things that will be happening?

Thank you for the welcome!
 
I joined D23 a week after it was released and I absolutely love it! :cloud9: I can't wait for the next issue. By purchasing a membership you can also buy exclusive D23 merchandise. Oh, and welcome to the DIS!!
 

MOving this to the Theme Parks Community Board.
 
I joined in June (it was a Father's Day gift). I would agree that the D Twenty Three magazine is the highlight of the D23 program. I like being a member as the magazine is delivered to my home and has been sealed in plastic and shipped to me in a nice cardboard box to prevent excessive damage. In addition, the last two issues of the magazine arrived with little "extra" gifts, like the Disneyland replica fan and the patch with Disneyland 1959 promotional images. I also like the fact that D23 is hosting special events now and then for members. They are focusing on the Expo right now of course. As a member, I got a very nice membership certificiate, ID card, and a lithograph of Mickey Mouse (the 80th portrait). So, while the membership costs a little bit more than just buying the magazine off the news stand, I think the extras are worth the extra cost. Oh, and members can buy the exclusive merchandise too. I have not bought anything however. Though I think I will be buying the Haunted Mansion CD that will be available on September 10th.

Let us know if you're planning to attend the D23 Expo (in the poll on page 32), as we plan to have a DIS meet!

D23 is my favorite magazine, hands down! It is such a well-researched publication, and I love that so many of its authors are on Twitter. I follow a few of their messages, and not surprisingly, they are very friendly and insightful people.

Long live D23 and its magazine!
