OFFICIAL D23 Membership available for all Disney fans--Will you join too? UPDATE

I just got an email from D23. They had me take a very long survey asking just about every possible question regarding the extent of a fan's love for Disney.

It was sort of fun to take, I guess. But make sure you have about 10 minutes to kill. Did anyone else get this email?

PS. I've also started getting the newsletter updates via email. I was wondering when those would start up!

I got it and it took a lot longer than I had expected. Usually the surveys I get from Disney are short one parters...this one has two parts. It was fun though and they ask a lot of 'different' questions...I was trying to figure out what they had in mind with some of the questions. ;)
 
I just saw this e-mail but i was nervous to open it! I wasn't sure it was legit because the address it came from was weird. As long as other people opened it and it was okay, then I'll do it!
 
@ 6:38 pm..... I am just now checking my mail and am getting ready to take the survey!:thumbsup2
 

I got the email too, and already took the survey. I still haven't heard from them about the damaged poster though. I guess I'll have to call back tomorrow.
 
I look everyday several times a day to see if the pins are back up for sale! This morning I go to disney shopping and the pins are not listed on the site?

Making me a bit nervous!
 
I am hoping that it is for the re release of the sold out pins and the release of the next pin of the 12 pin series.

Got my card out and waiting to pounce to get me mines.....:rotfl2:
 
The D23 welcome survey was one of the most interesting ones I've ever completed. My fiance even looked at it to see what he would have chosen; his responses weren't too different. It was fun!

04.22.09 — D23 Pins Coming Back at Ya!
For those D23 members who missed out on our exclusive pins the first time around, we have great news! This week Disney Shopping will be putting the "D23" and "Plane Crazy" pins back on sale, and next week, look for the Tinker Bell and Jiminy Cricket pins to return.:thumbsup2:banana::banana::banana:
 
I got my pins this AM. I stayed up until 1am and the pins were not up for sale!

I figure they went on sale at 12am west coast (Disney Time) time which was 4am my time!

Good Luck!!!!
 
I got the next issue of D23 with a souvineer vintage fan.. Is this old news or has no one else got one yet?

Nope, I did not get mine yet. I can't wait to get it though!

On a side note I bought a frame for my Mickey Mouse poster, that we got for free!!! So I can't wait to hang that up!

I also can't wait for the pins to come back! And I am glad they made some rules on them now!

I got mine yesterday too! I LOVE the souviner fan! That's exactly the type of stuff I love to collect (vintage park merchandise), so I was thrilled when I saw that. I looked through the magazine, but haven't read it yet. Looks like another wonderful edition! OH! And my favorite part was the concept art for Rapunzel!!!! It's so beautiful!!!
