If you’ve been reading this blog for long, then you probably know that I’m a big kid at heart. And I’m in good company – that’s why Disney started D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, for grown-ups like me who never wanted to hang up their mouse ears! And one lucky Contest Corner reader will win a Sliver D23 membership, so read on!
Like most people, Disney has been a big part of my life since I was little. A lot of people become “Too cool” for cartoons by the time they’re teenagers, but not me – I remember being 16 and using points I’d saved up playing games at a local arcade to buy “The Little Mermaid” on VHS. It’s still sitting prominently on the shelf with the rest of my film collection! And my enjoyment of all things Disney continues to this day. The first time I ever visited Disneyland was actually as an adult in 2003 – check out this old photo I scanned in of me standing next to Mickey Mouse!
One of the last times I was on a plane, I chose “Beauty & The Beast” as my in-flight movie. There’s something very soothing to me about watching Disney cartoons; the older I get and the more stressful life becomes, the more I enjoy watching my childhood favorites. The sweet innocence of Disney films is very comforting to me, not to mention the nostalgia it brings back for my own childhood. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way – so many of my friends also collect Disney items, own all the films, or regularly visit Disneyland. And that’s why Disney started D23: The Official Disney Fan Club – to give Disney lovers around the world exclusive access to everything Disney! The club is christened D23 after 1923, the year that Walt Disney opened his studio in Hollywood. D23 celebrates the magic and excitement with exclusive benefits for members, including a suitable-for-framing membership certificate, a membership card that entitles you to exclusive discounts at select retailers (Click here for a full list of current promotional offers & discounts), an annual collectible gift for each new and renewing member, the in-depth D23 Website, access to special members-only events such as film screenings and tours of the Walt Disney Studios Lot, and the ability to purchase discounted tickets to the D23 Expo. Gold members also receive the quarterly Disney twenty-three magazine, which includes a collectible surprise with each issue. If you love Disney, you will flip for the D23 Club!

I’m the big Disney fan!!! I lived 10 mins from Disneyland we used to go there for pretty much every special occasion. When my father gave both me and my brother annual passes for Christmas when we were in our teens we just about lost control we were so excited. Let’s just say Disneyland lost some money that year by how many times we went.
I am a huge Disney fan! We try to go to Disneyland at least once a month. 🙂
