I have been a Disney fan since I was little. We lived in Los Angeles and every year we were lucky enough to visit Disneyland a few times a year. When we had visitors from Costa Rica come to our home the first thing they all wanted to do was visit Disneyland. We loved when visitors came!

When I moved to Florida and, subsequently, met my husband we began visiting Disney World a few times a year. We loved visiting. We tried to go to every resort and get on every ride. People forget that Disney is just not for kids. Disney has so much to offer us "big kids" as well.
What we love most about Disney is that there is so much for us to do. We loved gong to the parks and enjoying the rides but we also loved seeing the shows. The resorts are great. As wannabe foodies, we really enjoyed visiting the restaurants and having a gourmet meal with some delicious wine. We also loved going for the spa services as well.
Now that we live in North Carolina, we rarely have the chance to visit as much as we would like. It is harder for us to get our Disney fix. Luckily, Disney offers us Disney Lovers the opportunity to keep up with everything Disney through the D23 - Official Disney Fan Club.
D23 is the world’s only official Disney fan club. What is the significance of D23? It is named for the year that Walt Disney left Kansas City and headed for Hollywood and founded what would become the Disney Studios.
D23 offers its members a multitude of benefits including the Disney twenty three magazine. Benefits also include special events, a wonderful website, complimentary gifts, special discounts and much more.
Here's are just some of the wonderful exclusive benefits offered to its D23 members:
Disney twenty-three magazine ~ D23's stunning, over sized, quarterly publication that is available with all D23 Gold memberships
Member-exclusive gifts ~ Four times a year, Gold-level D23 Members receive a free gift with each issue of Disney twenty-three. Each free gift is a collectible surprise that celebrates Disney
Membership Card and Certificate ~ You receive a membership card and personalized, suitable-for-framing member certificate features Donald Duck hand drawn by Disney Legend-and the voice of Donald!-Tony Anselmo.
Annual Member gift ~ Each new and renewing D23 Member receives a special collectible gift from The Walt Disney Archives Collection
D23 Special Benefits and Offers ~ D23 Members can save hundreds of dollars by presenting their D23 Membership cards at select retailers, restaurants and attractions throughout the country
D23 Website ~ In-depth features and exclusive articles about Disney’s past, present and future, plus breaking news and special features from the Walt Disney Archives are highlights of the D23 website
Special Member-Only events ~ Events can include tours of the Walt Disney Studios Lot and Archives to a signature event at Walt Disney World, special film screenings, and many other events throughout the year, only D23 Members have the opportunity to enjoy one-of-a-kind experiences created just for them! (This is my favorite benefit!)
D23 Expo ~ The D23 Expo brings the entire world of Disney under one roof and is the “ultimate Disney fan event” and D23 Members can purchase special ticket discounts and receive exclusive access to this amazing event!
The Gold Membership is only $74.99 and the Silver Membership is $34.99. This is a great deal because you have Disney at your fingertips any time you like. Plus, the memberships come with a beautiful exclusive D23 Mickey Mouse watch!

This would make a perfect gift for any Disney Fan in your life! This is also a great gift to give to those "big kids" on your Christmas list who have everything. It is a unique and special gift that can be used all year-round!

So remember, if you have a Disney fan on your list you should really look into giving them a D23 Membership. Who doesn't want the Gift of Disney Magic any time of the year?
Thanks to Disney, I have a D23 Silver Membership to give away to one of my wonderful readers! All you have to do is follow the entry rules to enter. Please be patient for the Rafflecopter widget to load.
I would love to win this prize for myself! I've been wanting to join D23 forever! I'm a HUGE Disney Fan! Great promotion!
