Even More Magic Coming Your Way in 2023 for D23 Members

D23 just released more details on some of the exciting things happening for D23 Members in 2023!

A cornerstone of the D23 Member experience is our fan-centric events. This year, you were among the first to experience TRON Lightcycle / Run and Disney100: The Exhibition, dove under the sea to celebrate 20 years of Finding Nemo, and even took the ultimate tour of Disneyland Paris to celebrate the Grand Finale of its 30th-anniversary celebration.

And as Walt Disney once said, “…we’re just getting started!” We couldn’t wait to tell you about some of the amazing experiences we’re planning for the rest of this historic year.
