In a much anticipated move, D23, the Official Disney Fan Club has relaunched their website. It now includes more member-exclusive content, but the cost to become a member has been reduced to zero. Paid membership levels with additional benefits will remain.
D23: The Official Disney Fan Club relaunched their reimagined website with thousands of pages of new content, including a story that features photographs of Walt’s daughters Diane and Sharon on the merry-go-round on that fateful day that ultimately changed how Americans — and people around the world — vacation.
The Walt Disney Archives recently discovered rolls of film from Walt’s personal camera with hundreds of images, just a few of which are showcased today on D23.com in their new member-exclusive section. Other photos include a young Roy E. Disney on the same carousel, as well as candid moments from Walt’s life and travels around the world.
In addition, visitors to D23 will find new content, including:
- Disney A to Z – A complete and newly-updated electronic version of the definitive Disney encyclopedia with more than 7,000 entries written by Dave Smith, founder and Chief Archivist Emeritus of the Walt Disney Archives
- A selection of new member-exclusive discounts and special events
- Exclusive Audiocast Interviews with Ginnifer Goodwin of Once Upon A Time and the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz of Phineas and Ferb
- Disney Legends and the Walt Disney Archives – Two new microsites; Disney Legends will provide a deeper look at those who’ve made significant contributions to the Disney legacy, and the Archives site will open up the doors of this venerable institution so D23 can share more of The Walt Disney Company’s expansive collections.
Head over to D23.com today and sign up for a free membership to unlock this content and more in the exclusive members only area.
Now that D23 is moving down the path toward actually being a fan club for all Disney fans, what would you like to see from them in the future?
Any other members having trouble signing in over there?
Yes …. Gold membership signed in fine Silver says the ID and name do not match support has not responded for 24 hrs so far. The guy on the message for support sounded like he was worn out …….
For what its worth, the “twenty-three” mag is easily worth the $75 a year. Yes…it’s a little steep….but it’s an awesome mag.
