I’m hoping I can have the funds to attend this incredible event! Being a Disney-phile, particularly WDW, this is right up my alley. I’m a free D23 member, but hoping to go to a higher level, if things go my way.
Who can I contact re: ticket purchase in regards to if I get a ticket for my husband and for me, do we both need to be Gold or Silver members or can one membership purchase 2 tickets? Thanks.
Any idea cost of “Top of the World Tickets?” If not, who could I contact? Tks. for bringing this to my attention!
