D23

BACKSTORY: (March 10, 2009–Present) D23 is a fan club billed as “The Official Community for Disney Fans.” Besides a quarterly magazine, the big selling point of this club is its special “behind-the-scenes” events, many of which occur at the Disney Studios in Burbank. From the official D23 website:

Named in honor of the year 1923, when Walt left Kansas City, headed for Hollywood and founded what would become the Disney Studios, D23 celebrates the wonder and excitement that began that year and has only increased over the decades as Disney’s stories, characters, songs, and experiences have captured imaginations the world over.
