What is everyone's opinion on the D23 fan club? Im considering joining.
I love it. My family and I are members. The magazine tjat you get is great. I live about 2 hours away from the places where they hold the events and don'tc getto go to all of them, but the ones I do go to are great. We toured Walt Disney studies and watched a movie there. That do events like that often. Also, we got to go to the Walt Disney imagineering studio. That's fun because you can't usually go in unless you are a cast member (we also are pin collectors so that's a major reason we go). There are other events through out the year also. If you live near by its great, if not and you can travel then its food also. Hope this helps a little. - dolewhip4me231.3 #1228 2-18-13 4:02PMLike(1) Reply
Sorry, I was in a hurry I promise I don't spell that bad. Lol - dolewhip4me 231.3 #1228 2-18-13 6:31PM
I've been a D23 member for two years. Personally I like the events they offer to members. The only events that I've done so far was the Disney studios tour and the advanced screening for Oz the great and powerful. The expo is coming up this summer and I believe D23 members pay a cheaper price and can enter earlier than general audiences. I say go for it and become a gold D23 member. - SorcererD91480.6 #248 2-18-13 4:02PMLike(1) Reply

Where is the best place to start at the parks with a 2 and 4 year old?
I agree with fantasy land, they can do pretty much everything there. Since they dont do fast passes for rides, maybe fast pass Roger Rabbit first or any other ride yo can all go on first so it will be ready when you are done with the fantasyland attractions. The proncess fairie is a good place to pay attention to when the ceremonies or story times are too. - madsdad1130.7 #72 2-9-12 1:43PMLike(1) Reply
