If you’re a pin collector and have been thinking about becoming a D23 Gold Member, don’t put it off any longer. The current gift is the Around the World of Disney Parks Collector Set! There are seven pins in total, representing the Disney Parks across the globe. There are other goodies as well, but the pins are arguably the highlight of the gift. The pins are available only through December 31, 2022!
Then again, the gift for 2023 is absolutely amazing. If you are a Gold Member in 2023, you’ll receive the Mickey Mouse “Leader of the Club” Milestone Statue. Since the Walt Disney Company is about to turn 100, it’s the perfect thank you from D23. The statues will start shipping in the spring.
The General D23 Plan is free, but it’s good mostly for entering contests. There are two paid plans, Gold Individual Plan and Gold Duo Plan. The cost is $99.99 and $129.99, respectively. You won’t receive two gifts with the Duo Plan. The main difference is access to D23 events for more people. Both of the Gold Plans also receive four copies of Disney Twenty-Three magazine, which is a gorgeous publication.
You can learn more about joining D23 here. Honestly, I’m not totally sold on my D23 Gold Membership. I’m an individual member, but I was able to get my first year for free by using Disney Movie Insider points. I plan to renew because I want the Mickey statue. I did save on my D23 Expo tickets, so if you like the events I recommend becoming a D23 Gold Member.
