I just received my collectors gift box and omg the playing cards are so cute! My mystery character figurine is Genie but I would love to trade for a Maleficent.

Also I got the guitar and potion bottle pins and would be willing to trade either for a crystal ball <3

Anyone else go to this event last night in Hollywood?

Full disclosure I don't live in LA anymore and happened to be visiting from SF so I am not a D23 member. Though I did used to have an annual pass for many years when I lived down here, I went to the park often was a big pin trader always wanted to go to the expo ect... I'm still a pretty big Disney fan and esp park fan but I haven't been in a while and have not been to D23 events.

That being said, what the hell was that party last night? They missed a massive opportunity to highlight how beautiful the Roosevelt hotel is. They filled the rooms with tacky fake dead trees full of poison bottles (you can def buy at Home Goods) and purple fairy lights.

Tons of mid looking food with almost no where to sit to eat it. Weird "photo ops" that were just lame backdrops too small to even fill the frame of a photo, and mostly just ads for Hulu. The music was SO LOUD and they were bumping club music from 20 years ago.

Why not dress the employees as tower of terror bell hops ect. Fill the room with dusty props and throw spiderwebs on the already existing art deco stuff. Play some swing music! Lean into the glitz and glamor of old Hollywood but make it creepy??

If you are going to make a "lounge" make it so you can talk to eachother? Literally my eardrums were about to explode.

Curious what other people were expecting and where this falls along the line of of D23 fan events. Why do people usually go? Seemed like everyone was really interested in just taking photos with those weird backdrops. Is this more of a social media thing? No one was even dancing (to be fair the music was genuinely not good in pretty much any room)

I definitely feel swindled for that insane price tag & I blame the copy writers for giving the impression this would be a fun old Hollywood style party in the spooky theme of tower of terror with some cool photo ops, fun cocktails, and dancing. Massive bummer and missed opportunity.

My husband and I used our DMI points to finally get a membership. We got the individual ones in the hopes that we would get different pins and figures. Unfortunately we got the same pins, and he was hoping to get a Merlin figure. Wondering if anyone is willing to do a trade?

I’m a first-time D23 member so opening this was really exciting to me. I’m really happy with the mystery items too! Which ones did you all receive?

D23 Tune-in To Terror: A Hollywood Halloween

Costumes: As the star of this show, be sure you dress the part! A Hollywood Halloween would not be complete without a few costumes sure to make the viewers shriek with envy. We hope you take this as your opportunity to make jaws (and service elevators) DROP with your applause-worthy style!

So… are we just wearing costumes? I was thinking a witch costume this year. Although I’m not sure if they mean old Hollywood? The Roosevelt is golden era and then it’s a twilight zone event… what costume is more appropriate?

So back to my question what is anyone wearing to this?

If you don’t have the Fall Twenty-Three Edition in your order history email D23 and ask about it because I emailed them and they ordered it for me. I don’t think I would have gotten it if I hadn’t emailed.

New Show Announcements

I received the glitter variant Mama Odie as my mystery gift. If anyone has a figure they would trade for or other collectibles they would trade for, I’m all ears.

Just got my gold member set in the mail and was looking through the beautiful playing card set, and to my surprise Gurgi is on a card! The Black Cauldron is one of my favorite Disney movies, but for so long Disney tried to pretend that it didn't exist, so to see Gurgi included in the set just makes me so extremely happy that I had to share it.

I'm just wondering, is it typical that every year the gold membership renews it's sending a "new member" letter and certificate that says "D23 welcomes [name] to the official Disney fanclub"? This is my third year as a gold member, I signed up late in the year so it auto-renews every fall. Last year I assumed it was a fluke, but I just got the 2024 membership package and again it's acting like I'm a new member, even though the card included does say "member since 2022". Is this normal, or is there supposed to be a different letter and certificate for renewals? It seems strange that it would send a new membership letter to renewals every single year.

New gold member here. I guess I didn't read carefully when signing my wife and I up for this that you only get ONE collector set. Knowing Disney, I feel like you used to get 2 and that was taken away.

Anyone have any backstory on this? Or has it always been like this.

Anyone in Canada a subscriber who can give me an idea of the shipping costs? Thinking of becoming a member with Gold for the collector's set and swag but the website doesn't give any information on shipping costs! Seems like a bait and switch scam so hoping someone here can enlighten me as to what to expect. Thanks!

Was looking to see if anyone would be interested in these items as I'm moving and haven't found a use for them so I'll gladly mail them your way if someone would take them. Thanks!

Hello! Foreigner here.. we are planning to visit Disneyland next year around August (for the 70th) and we dream of going to the Studios Tour. In order to plan dates/flights and those expensive things, do you know which dates this tour usually happens? And when they release those tickets? We have the free/general D23 membership, I think that is enough right? Thanks!

Not much else to say except, now is the time to renew! Edit: Applies to both Individual and Duo membership purchases.

It appears that most of the benefits are US based. Are there any benefits for the overseas parks?

Extremely excited that I was able to snag a ticket for the Walt Disney Company store and D23 merch!!

Is anyone going to try and do the D23 Gold Member shopping day at the Disney Company Store, by chance? I'm trying to get 2 of the statues we didn't get at the Expo and am hoping someone might be able to pick them up for me if they are available.

Wonder if anyone could advise? I joined August last year starting with the 100th anniversary issue. I have only had two more issues (wish and frozen/Zootopia lands). So I should have expected the summer issue (Inside Out) correct? before my membership expired on the 18th this month. 5th July I emailed them and a replacement order was placed. But asking for a follow-up twice since then I keep getting told "shipping soon and to wait 6-8 weeks for delivery". Same cast member both times responded. Now I am starting to see fall issues arriving and with my membership now expired am I out of luck? Will the missing issue get sent? As feel just being led along with the emails.

Pixar announced that they’ll make a Lego movie version of many of their classics, Brave, Cars, Finding Nemo etc. . Just wanna know what everyone feels about it
