*gasp* I saw this!!!! Totally excited me!!!!!

I think this is either going to be an awsome addition for Disney fans or completely overpriced, and not realistic for the real disney fans to join due to price point.

From TheDisneyBlog: Oops, Disney has scooped itself by sending out review DVDs of Pinocchio with proof of exactly what the mystery ‘D23′ (Are you 23?) club will be. Stitch Kingdom has the proof it’s “The Official Community for Disney Fans.”

Bump

Sounds like they are second guessing the elimination of "The Magic Kingdom Club". I think that I still have my membership card.

Tell us about MKC, please.

I don't think this will be a replacement for MKC. I think it is Disney's attempt to have their own official community. Question is, how will Disney handle all of the unofficial web sites and podcasts after this starts?

Pete, John, Kevin, what are your thoughts on this?

I'm guessing that this "Official Disney Community" will have their own chat boards and things like that, but knowing Disney, they'll probably make it family friendly and police it so much that it won't be worth it. There will still be a place for Disboards and the others.

The Jiminy poster is very interesting! I think it would be so great if Disney created something special for their die hard uber fans. I kind of doubt it though...Disney, for some reason, never seems to me to properly appreciate the uber fan demographic. I definitely don't think whatever this is will take away from the DISboards or other fan sites.

I saw this yesterday. That's certainly an oops.

Official Community for Disney Fans (whatever that means!).

ooohhhhhh.... official! That must make it really good!

I can't wait...

 

[*NikkiBell*]

I am extremely excited about all of this (I am a sucker, I know, Pete lol). I honestly cannot wait to find out what all of the specifics are!

 

[cathie1327]

I'm excited at the possibility of what it could be......with some exceptions.

I'm not wealthy. I'm a college student and don't make a ton of money right now. So, I have to scrape to get to Disney as it is. It takes some huge saving on my part.

I'd LOVE to be part of this "official Disney community" but how affordable is it going to be? Disney fans come from all classes.

Also, I'm wondering if being part of this "club" or community will enable you to get any sort of discounts on trips or things of that nature. That would be an awesome way to show appreciation for your Disney fans, I think.

Just wondering how affordable a club like this will be from Disney

wow I missed all this info. I don't know what I think yet. I don't think that a convention sounds to apealing to me, I would not be able to go to it I am sure that it will be $$$. I guess I will just have to wait and see what they offer. As far as a discussion community replacing the Dis... NEVER! at least not for me!

 

[DisGal520]

well I'm a sucker for unique Disney merchandise, so we'll be watching to see what they release.

 

[bradk]

there's also audio of iger talking about it as well as a full review of the d23 magazine

where?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

[pal-mickey]

I guess a Barnes and Noble have released a copy of the magazine too early. It's supposed to sell for $16. Not sure if that's per issue.

 

[wendyinoc]

Its all over the internet. I almost thought they were going to make it.

My condolences to the poor stock person at Barnes and Noble.

I went to Barns and Noble here in Nj today, did not find D23 yet.
