Remember back in early January when they put up the site with nothing more than "“Are you 23?” find out March 10th". Now we are getting very close. Anyone have any ideas on what it might be?
 
I thought maybe it was some movie thing?
 

I've heard it was a club/convention thing that covers all the Disney companies. Unfortunately I had some crying toddlers so I couldn't pay too much attention to what was being said. (I was eavesdropping at DLR while shopping.)
 
:thumbsup2 I put my email in last month to be informed of the "news" on March 10th. I almost forgot about this promo until I read the thread. Now, you have me anticipating the news again. :rolleyes1

My Guess:
I also heard about a Disney Fan Club of sorts. Where you pay a fee ($100 annually) and have the opportunity to purchase new exclusive merchandise. Also, they would set-up fan club only events at the parks (on both coasts). Kind of like Mousefest, but Disney operated. Sounds fun if this is true. Maybe, you have to be "23" to be a member? "Are you 23?"

Other rumors from the DIS Unplugged:
70th anniversary of Pinnochio (March 10th)
23 classic Disney films will be released on Blu-Ray disc

Typically new DVDs are released on a Tuesday. So, these are possible candidates.

Other online rumors:
The Walt Disney Company was founded in 1923.
Pixar is 23 years old this year.
The Great Mouse Detective will be 23 years old this year. (another re-release option)
Official announcement of Cars 2
Re-opening of Virtual Magic Kingdom (online site)

I would really love to have more Disney movies on DVD. Well, in this rumors case Blu Ray, but they wouldn't be released on March 10, because I haven't seen anything about it through work (I do our store's new release signing). But it would be great to have a release date for a slew of movies.

Hehe. I turn 23 this year. Just sayin'.
 
From an insert in the Pinocchio DVD that was mailed in advance to reviewers, this is being called a Disney community, which to means that it will probably be some sort of official fan club type deal ran by the Disney company. DisneyShopping.com briefly had two pins posted online dealing with D23 and a charter member pin with Mickey and Minnie in Plane Crazy. The images were taken down.

I think it almost has to be tied into the company because 1923 relates to the company founding and makes more sense than just the random number 23 (unless Michael Jordan is joining the company).
 
:idea: Well my guess is that they arnt exactly doing anything with the new dream suite. Maybe the 23rd person who gets swiped into the park wins an over night stay! :goodvibes
 
TWDC started in 1923, FYI.

According to hearsay, that's where they got the name from (D23). It is a fan club of sorts and they've already revealed a couple of pin images and a poster:

We probably won't get the details until the big revealing at the stockholders meeting on the 10th.
 
aaaaagh, I'm twenty threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...!

I'm so curious, even though I know it won't be anything too special. :)
 
Alas, I don't have much info on this, as they're even keeping info very well hidden from CMs and TWDC Employees (with the exception of a chosen few).

However, from what I've heard, it will be the NFFC meets DISBoards meets official Disney Sanction.

Let me just say, though, that it should be VERY interesting, especially if you're an afficionado of the history and culture of The Walt Disney Company.

That would be meeeeee
( I am so pathetic)
Hey Glendalais, maybe you know this..I was going to ask Dave, but didn't think my question would make it all the way to the master. When we were in the courtyard in front of the Team Disney building (where the statues and plaques are) I noticed that the Ward Kimball handprint thing shows 6 fingers on each hand. I don't think he actually had six fingers on each hand, so there has to be a story about this..

Nice work!:thumbsup2
 
Well, I don't know what it is, but the first day of our trip to DL is March 10th, so hopefully they will do something special in the parks that day!
