D23 is the official community for Disney fans. The 23 stands for 1923 when Walt Disney first opened his Hollywood studio. Are you 23? is the teaser campaign for their site, disney.com/d23 where members can have exclusive up-to-the-minute Disney news, feature stories, event info, merchandise and more. But becoming a member of this fan site is not free. A membership fee $74.99 (one-year D23 Charter Membership) will be charge upon registration.

A one-year D23 membership includes:

* Disney twenty-three quarterly publication: A one-year subscription (four issues) to D23′s new collectible magazine filled with stunning photography, dazzling illustrations and the ultimate Disney insider perspective. This advertising-free keepsake is the all-access pass to discovering the magic of Disney’s past, present and future.

* Membership Certificate and Card: The D23 membership card and suitable-for-framing member certificate — both specially created for D23′s Charter Year — feature many of Disney’s most beloved characters.

* Surprise Collectible Gift and Member Merchandise: Each member who joins D23 will receive an exclusive collectible gift from the new Walt Disney Archives Collection. This merchandise line was created specifically with D23 members in mind, and each piece is authorized by the Walt Disney Archives. D23 members will have exclusive or early access to a wide assortment of Walt Disney Archives Collection pieces.

* D23 Expo and Member Special Events: The D23 Expo — to be held at the Anaheim Convention Center from September 10-13, 2009 — will be “The Ultimate Disney Fan Experience,” featuring incredible speakers, celebrity appearances, breathtaking exhibitions, interactive experiences, sneak peeks, film screenings, one-of-a-kind merchandise, and much more. All Disney fans are welcome, but D23 members will receive a discount on Expo admissions and early access to the show daily. D23 also offers unique members-only special event opportunities throughout the year.

* Disney.com/D23: All fans can stay connected to Disney every day through D23′s new Web site, featuring up-to-the-minute Disney news, feature stories, event info and more, but only D23 members will receive regular email updates on special event and merchandise opportunities exclusive to them.
