You know, I have been on the fence about doing D23 because of money but I don't know. Some of those events look really fantastic...
I may be choosing which side of the fence I'm on pretty soon.

I think I'm finally sucking it up and am joining D23 this month. I want to get discounted tix for the expo and I don't want to miss any key panels just because I couldn't get early entry like last time. And I'd love to finally do that studio tour and see one of the 50 and Fab screenings.

It still seems like D23 is only something to join if you live in SoCal. I might try to get east for the Sip and Stroll in Epcot. Still I look forward to Expo the most, next summer should have big attraction announcements for Shanghai and WDW, and hopefully DLR.

Definitely looking forward to the Fanniversary events again since we missed out on it last year and it's actually somewhat close to us.

We're also looking forward to the Expo since we've been to the last 2...at least we're hoping to make it. This will be the first time we are having to make a major trip in order to attend since we moved last year.

We are also hoping to get our website/blog rolling in order to report on the Expo.

Just ran across this, and it pretty much makes my decision a cinch -- after thinking about it a LOT and being a big big D23 supporter I'm not rejoining. They have ALL of Disney film history to choose from, and they choose "20,000 Leagues" (for the umpteenth time), "The Sword in the Stone" and "The Son of Flubber"? Good Lord.

I hope that Pirates of the Caribbean 5's full movie title gets announced at the next D23 Expot event in August 2013 ! . I voted for the D23 Expo event in the poll above .

i might not be able to attend this year's expo, Does anyone know if they do make the Vinylmations available online to us?? .I just joined last year so i don't know about the previous one.\

I think the thing I interested in is the expo and the 20,000 events

I know this may be in the wrong spot but..I was wondering if the D23 members actually enjoy it and got their money's worth. I was thinking of getting a membership. Just wanted to know what everyone else's thought was. Thanks.
