Are you a member of Disney’s fan club?
D23 is a club for Disney fans, and you can become a member for free, or you can pay a fee to be a Gold Member. D23 members get all kinds of perks, like early movie screenings, exclusive merchandise, and access to major fan events. But D23 just announced some big changes!
Beginning January 1st, 2025, D23 will offer three Gold Membership plans (up from the previous two options), designed to offer more flexibility. Each Gold Membership plan will continue to include access to D23 events, discounts, and special offers. In addition, you’ll get a D23 Gold Membership Kit, which comes with a variety of goodies and collectibles that fans will appreciate. These benefits will all be included with the Gold Member Essential Plan for $49.99 per year.
The Gold Member Choice Plan, which is $99.99 per year, provides fans with everything in the Essential Plan, plus one of four new D23 Gold Member Exclusive Premium Items (to be chosen by the member):
- A one-of-a-kind, fashionable D23 Gold Member Spirit Jersey;
- A limited-release collectible D23 Gold Member Pin Box Set, featuring 10 pins with original character designs;
- A D23 Gold Member Fan Pack complete with a D23 Gold Member-embroidered crossbody bag, water bottle, and chino twill cap; or
- An enchanting replica of the Disneyland Park Entrance plaque (measuring 12 inches by 7 inches), a reproduction of the original plaque text draft with Walt Disney’s annotations from 1955, along with a first-to-market exclusive edition of the brand-new Disneyland 70th anniversary book, The Happiest Place on Earth, written by Disney Legend Don Hahn and former Disney Imagineer Christopher Merritt.
If you want EVERYTHING, you can get the Gold Complete Plan for $299.99 per year. It includes everything in the Essential Plan, plus all four offerings from the Choice Plan. That’s a lot of perks!
But that’s not all! 2025 will also offer new and returning D23 events, like Destination D23 at Walt Disney World, the D23 Spotlight Series where fans can explore deeper Disney topics in Orlando or the Los Angeles area, virtual presentations in the D23 Gold Theater, more year-round Official Walt Disney Studios Lot Walking Tours, the new Walt Disney’s Los Angeles Tour, and a variety of Disney film anniversary celebrations.
We’ll make sure to keep you updated if we learn more about these D23 changes in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to DFB for the latest!
