mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 looks, cool, but I'm NOT joining D23 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Nope, me neither. I had a membership the first year and let it lapse because I didn't feel like I was getting much out of it besides the magazine, which I love but I can buy that at Barnes & Noble.Initially hardly any of the events took place at WDW. That's been getting better, but I'm still not seeing enough value being offered in being a member to justify the cost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I'm with you Monique- since all the cool stuff was going on at Disneyland, I never was interested.This event at Epcot sounds pretty good. But, they took too long to throw a bone to us WDW folks, so I am not biting.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I was a D23 member in 2010. We were thrilled to be among the lucky few who got tickets to Magic & Merriment in December. My trip report is somewhere here. The event was a disaster for us. It was so mismanaged. It should have been a wonderful experience, but lack of organization made it miserable.I let my membership lapse and don't plan on renewing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
