It's been released since november 2nd!
It'll be there with you soon, I haven't received mine either, but it doesn't take long to get here after the release. I live in Belgium btw...
Cool thanks!

Ok so whoever is already a member, what do you think of the club?
I love in New Jersey, 20 minutes away from NYC by car, train 45 minutes to an hour. I do like the train ride though into NYC lol.

I mean what is the benefit for me to join? I was looking at some of the stuff, not really worth it to me. I am not a pin person. How can I get to the events if I live in Jersey?? Do they ever have events in NYC?

Also, is the magazine worth an extra $40.00 to join? They have it where you can join for $34.99 now instead of the $74.99 and you don't get the magazines. I mean do I really need magazines for $40.00 bucks? lol

So what do you think?

So I tried to pick up the new issue in the store today and failed. My local Barnes and Noble told me they had the new issues in the back in a box but they aren't unboxing them and putting them on the shelf until the Fall 2010 issues are sold. There are lots of that issue on the shelf. Needless to day I wasn't too happy.

You know, I really like what I hear about the fan club, but it's just too bad that to actually reap many of the benefits of being a member, you have to live near or around the parks or some metropolitan area, or at least be willing to shell out the cash to travel there.

Well, maybe someday...

Okay...I got one heck of a surprise in the mail today

The Mail came to the door and my Dad got it and then handed me a D23 welcome to the club....so I open it up and there is a chip and dale luggage tag, a new D23 Watch and the new first D23 issue of 2011...and no membership card included,

The thing is....I never ordered any of this...I haven't re-newed my membership yet (waiting for taxes to do that later this month). So I called Disney Store Online 1-800 number to make sure of my sanity....and After I told them what I got (I didn't even give them my name nor did they ask for it) They said it was sent out by mistake however since it was a goof on their part I may keep the stuff....so I guess to still be in the club I got to pay $80 and I asked would I still receive a membership plus the kit and they said YES.....so be on the look out because it sounds like to me this is more widespread than just me... :float: :D :D :pink: :thumb:

I got all that in the mail today too, but I'm not a new member either! In fact my membership EXPIRES with the Spring issue! I will be renewing, though...

Yep, I got the same mistaken package in the mail. Mine doesn't expire until June, but I couldn't remember exactly when I'd re-upped.

The watch is pretty nice. :)

I renewed mine and got the package in the mail yesterday, but what's odd is mine didn't come with the luggage tag. Hmm...

Also, is Disney not going to offer a case for their Volume II (2010) issues? The Spring issue for 2010 came with a pamphlet you could send in with a check to get a snazzy case for the Volume I (2009) issues. I was hoping we'd get the same thing for Volume II as the case keeps the magazines secure and with enough room to stick in the extra goodies the issues come with.

Woah! That's gorgeous! I can't wait to get this issue. I see that one of the articles is about Wreck-It Ralph. I bet we'll finally get to see some art!!

I'm not a D23 member (too expensive), but this is one issue of the magazine I think I'll need to pick up. Anyone remember the old Disney Magazine? I miss that one. :(
