ABOUT D23
The name “D23” pays homage to the exciting journey that began in 1923 when Walt Disney opened his first studio in Hollywood. D23 is the first official club for fans in Disney’s over 100-year history. Made by fans, for fans, D23 provides more of what you love, whether that be timeless Disney classics, heart-touching Pixar stories, heroic Marvel blockbusters, the epic world of Star Wars, or all of the above. If you’re passionate about the parks, captivated by the characters, or the ultimate collector, D23 is your community and all-access pass to everything Disney. D23 is THE place to share your love of Disney – it’s where Disney fans belong.
The “D” stands for Disney, and “23” represents 1923, the year that Walt Disney arrived in California and founded what was to ultimately become The Walt Disney Company.

BECOMING A D23 MEMBER

Visit the D23 Membership page to see the pricing and benefits associated with each membership plan.
General Membership is complimentary.
You must be at least 18 years old to purchase an individual D23 Gold Membership for yourself or as a gift for another person (who must also be at least 18 years old), and to purchase any other D23 goods or services. Each individual is allowed only one membership.
Yes! Guests with a shipping address outside of the United States can join, upgrade, and/or continue their D23 membership.
Yes. An email confirmation will be sent to the email address entered when you completed your transaction.
Yes! Starting January 2025, please visit the Membership Information page and select the “Gift” membership option. Only Gold Membership plans are available as gifts. D23 Gift Membership recipients will receive instructions on how to register for access to D23.com. D23 Gift Memberships cannot be purchased or shipped internationally.

If you have a D23 Gold Membership Duo Plan, there are several important changes to consider regarding the future of your Membership starting in 2025:
Beginning January 1, 2025, D23 Gold Membership Duo Plans will no longer be available for purchase or renewal. If you currently hold a D23 Gold Membership Duo Plan purchased or renewed in the 2024 calendar year—including both individual and affiliate memberships—you will continue to enjoy the benefits of the membership for the full duration of your Membership. The entire year of benefits, including access to exclusive events and special offers, will be honored through the expiration of your current membership.
Once your current D23 Gold Membership Duo Plan expires, you will need to make a decision regarding your membership renewal.
- If no changes are made or if you do not cancel your membership by the end of your current term, your Membership will automatically convert to a D23 Gold Choice Membership Plan. This renewal plan allows you to maintain many of the key benefits of the Gold Membership but under a revised structure.
- Additionally, for all D23 Gold Membership Duo Plans purchased or renewed in the 2024 calendar year, please note that any affiliate memberships included in your plan will come to an end at the same time as the primary Membership's expiration date. This means that the benefits associated with the Affiliate Membership will no longer be available once your D23 Gold Membership Duo Plan expires.
D23 Gold Members under an Affiliate Membership can select one of the new Gold plan options to continue their D23 Gold Membership.
Members are limited to a single membership per calendar year.
Essential Plan:
- Your D23 Gold Membership Kit (including your Membership Card, Membership Certificate, Member Pin & Magnet) will ship 8-10 weeks after enrollment or renewal.
Choice (with Pin Set, Spirit Jersey, or Fan Bundle as Premium selection) Plan:
- Your D23 Gold Membership Kit (including your Membership Card, Membership Certificate, Member Pin & Magnet) and your One (1) D23 Membership Premium Item will ship 8-12 weeks after enrollment or renewal, unless otherwise noted by Disney.
Choice (with Book/Plaque selected as Premium selection) Plan:
- Your D23 Gold Membership Kit (including your Membership Card, Membership Certificate, Member Pin & Magnet) and your One (1) D23 Membership Premium Item will begin shipping Spring 2025, or on your renewal date as applicable, whichever is later.
Complete Plan:
- Your D23 Gold Membership Kit (including your Membership Card, Membership Certificate, Member Pin & Magnet) and Four (4) D23 Membership Premium Items will begin shipping Spring 2025, or on your renewal date as applicable, whichever is later.

D23 EVENTS
Disney fans are everywhere, and so are D23 events! Over the past few years, we’ve held events all over the United States. Because of the rich Disney history in Florida and California, many events are held in these locations.
Starting in 2025, the D23 Gold Theater Series will offer monthly virtual presentations exclusively for D23 Gold Members. These sessions will feature live and prerecorded content from incredible speakers, Disney Legends, and behind-the-scenes talent from across the Disney universe.
The inaugural virtual event, debuting in January 2025, revisits a fan-favorite event from D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event 2024—“Jolly Holiday: A D23 Musical Celebration of Richard M. Sherman.”
Upcoming presentations will include exciting programs such as:
- “The Happiest Place on Earth: 70 Years of Disneyland,” hosted by Disney Legend Don Hahn and author Chris Merritt.
- “Weird Disney,” a quirky exploration of Disney history with Walt Disney Archives director Becky Cline.
The D23 Gold Theater Series is complimentary for all D23 Gold Members, and no ticket is required.
D23 returns to The Most Magical Place on Earth for the biggest Disney fan event of 2025… now at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World Resort, from August 29 – 31, 2025!
More details, including ticket on-sale information, will be announced in the spring of 2025. Be sure to follow @DisneyD23 on Facebook, TikTok, X, and Instagram for the latest news on Destination D23.
D23 offers a mix of complimentary and premium events for D23 Members. The prices for D23 Member events vary by event.
D23 Membership includes the opportunity to attend special D23 Member events—but separate event tickets must be purchased or reserved, as applicable, by the D23 Member in order to attend said events. Because some events have very limited capacities, we cannot guarantee that being a D23 Member will mean you get into each D23 Member event.
Before purchasing tickets, verify that you are logged into D23.com. After logging in, double-check the profile page on D23.com to ensure your membership information is appearing correctly. Head to the event page before tickets go on sale, and click the link to purchase tickets. Once on the event ticketing page, have all personal information ready to go! (Guests will have eight [8] minutes to complete the checkout process.)
Check event specifics, such as age and mobility requirements, to make sure all planned attendees are able to experience the event.
When ticketing information is available for an event, it will be listed on the D23 Events page. To purchase tickets, visit that event page at the date and time listed and you’ll be directed on how to purchase or reserve tickets. Ensure that you’re logged onto the ticketing purchase page with the email and password associated with your D23.com membership to view available tickets. NOTE: If you’re purchasing tickets for a D23.com event for the first time, you may receive a message on the ticketing site after logging in that asks you to verify your email address via a confirmation link. Visit your e-mail inbox (check your spam; the email will be from Disney D23 and end in “events2email.com”) and click the link to connect your D23.com account to the ticketing site.
Helpful hint: Double-check the event details before completing the checkout process! Some events are in multiple cities or have similar event titles. Once purchased, tickets are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable.
All guests must coordinate ticket purchasing with other D23 Members ahead of time. Be sure not to use a D23 Gold Member account in more than one tab or browser, as the system will not allow multiple authenticated sessions at one time, and you could lose your opportunity for tickets. Also be sure to have correct spelling of friends’ names and confirmed availability. In addition, make sure that multiple D23 Members do not purchase tickets for each other and create duplicative tickets for the same event. As a reminder, tickets are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable.
Please do not come to an event unless you are confirmed to attend. We do not have a waitlist at the door for any events. Additionally, please don’t bring more guests than noted in your confirmation, as we cannot accommodate guests without tickets.
All D23 Member-exclusive events are only open to D23 Members in good standing. You must bring your current D23 Membership card (either the physical card or virtually in the D23 Fan App) and valid photo ID in order to attend a D23 event.
New D23 Memberships typically take two to three (2–3) business days to update in the ticketing system. Please make sure you have purchased your D23 Membership at least four (4) business days prior to the event ticket on-sale date to ensure a smooth checkout.
All D23 guests will have the option to select “PRINT AT HOME” or “MOBILE” while completing the ticket checkout process. Guests will receive a confirmation email once checkout has been completed. If a guest selects “PRINT AT HOME,” the confirmation email will include a link to print the tickets. If a guest selects “MOBILE,” they will immediately receive a text message with a link to load tickets. Event ticket links will be accessible through the event day and may be redownloaded or reprinted. However, each ticket may only be scanned once at the event check-in.
PLEASE NOTE: Standard text message rates may apply to those who select “MOBILE.”
Once you’ve purchased your tickets, keep an eye on your email! All important event updates will be communicated through the email provided during the checkout process. Please pay close attention to an Event Reminder email that is typically sent a few days prior to the event; this email often contains the most up-to-date information.
You can also follow @DisneyD23 on Facebook, X (Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram, and Disney on YouTube.
Additionally, make sure to update your account preferences on Facebook and YouTube to ensure that you get all the latest Disney news from D23!
Check spam and junk folders to ensure the tickets have been successfully delivered.
Emailed tickets will be sent from DisneyD23@events2email.com. Please make sure your mobile device can receive incoming text messages and data. If you still haven’t received tickets within 48 hours of the event, please contact Guest Services at GuestRelations@D23.com or call us during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. PST) at (855) 323-5973.
All D23 Members will have eight (8) minutes to fully complete the event ticket checkout process. If tickets in your cart have not been paid for at the end of the allotted checkout window, they’ll be released and available to the next guest in line. Please have D23 Membership and payment information ready at the time of purchase.
D23 and The Walt Disney Company are not liable for technical, hardware, software, internet speed, telephone, or other transmission failures of any kind; lost or unavailable network connections; or incomplete, garbled, or delayed computer transmissions whether caused by D23, users, or by any equipment utilized in purchase or by human error which may occur in the processing of submissions and/or which may limit a participant’s ability to purchase.
All guests must provide a ticket when checking in for a D23 event. D23 Members must show their valid D23 Membership Card, either physical card or virtually in the D23 Fan App. Valid photo identification is also required. If the D23 member has purchased multiple tickets to the event, they should arrive with their guests so everyone can check in at the same time.
Due to the unique customization of our events, be sure to arrive during the listed check-in window, as our experiences will begin on time and do not allow for late arrivals.
If you require additional accommodations, email us directly at GuestRelations@D23.com or call us during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. PST) at (855) 323-5973 and provide as much information as possible. We’ll do our best to make sure options are available to accommodate your request.
Yes, sign language interpreting is available upon request. If you wish to request for sign language interpreting services for an event, please submit said request to us directly at GuestRelations@D23.com or call us during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. PST) at (855) 323-5973 at least two weeks prior to the event date. Please note: Some events may not be appropriate for a sign language interpreter, as not all events have a formal presentation.
