BURBANK, Calif. –
November 28, 2012 – In 2013, D23: The Official Disney Fan Club will
reach out to fans across the country through an exciting roster of
uniquely magical Disney experiences.

Starting in March, D23 takes the party on the road once again with our second D23’S DISNEY FANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.
The event, which played to crowds of enthusiastic fans across the U.S.
earlier this year, will commemorate dozens of magical milestones, each
celebrating an anniversary in 2013. Said The Hollywood Reporter
of the 2012 event, “It’s a must for Disney fanatics and a fascinating
look at Disney history.” Hosted by Disney Archivists and D23 Team
Members, D23’s Disney Fanniversary Celebration
events will be held in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Newark, Orlando,
Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., and
will revisit some of the most beloved theme park attractions, animated
and live-action films, TV series, and nearly 90 years of Disney history.
Fanniversary events will be open to the public, with special admission and surprises created especially for D23 Members in attendance.

D23
will once again partner with The Walt Disney Studios, offering members
access to advance screenings of the latest Disney animated and
live-action feature films. In 2012, D23 Members were among the first to
see Wreck-It Ralph, Frankenweenie, and Brave.

   

MICKEY'S OF GLENDALE,
the Walt Disney Imagineering employee store in Glendale, Calif., will
open its doors exclusively to D23 on Saturday, April 13 and Saturday,
June 8. Members will have an opportunity to purchase limited-edition
merchandise and view the park-like grounds at Walt Disney Parks &
Resorts' creative “think tank.” Additionally, in 2013, D23 will partner
with Disney Store in key locations to host exclusive and one-of-a-kind
events for our D23 Members.

Throughout the year, D23 will continue its popular series of movie screenings at The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. D23’s 50 AND FABULOUS returns, honoring Disney favorites celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2013, including screenings of Son of Flubber (April 13), Summer Magic (June 8), and The Sword in the Stone (September 15). FROM THE VAULTS also returns, bringing favorite live-action films back to the big screen, including the digitally restored 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea on November 16.

The year also includes D23 DAY AT THE WALT DISNEY STUDIOS AND ARCHIVES,
our popular member-only tours of the historic Studio Lot and Walt
Disney Archives in Burbank. Tours will take place May 4, June 1,
September 14, and November 2.

In the fall, during Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival, D23’s SIP & STROLL event will return (September 2013). And during the holiday season, D23 will bring back the popular offering DISNEY AND DICKENS (in Burbank in December), and introduce the all-new festive D23’S HOLIDAY SPLENDOR at Walt Disney World Resort in December.  

The grandest fan event of them all will take place August 9–11 at the Anaheim Convention Center when the D23 EXPO 2013: THE ULTIMATE DISNEY FAN EVENT
brings all the wonderful worlds of Disney together under one enormous
roof for three days. From The Walt Disney Studios and Walt Disney Parks
& Resorts to Disney Consumer Products and our numerous media
networks, guests will revel in new discoveries, special panels and
presentations, movie screenings, celebrity appearances and autograph
signings, and gain fresh insights into movies, television, theme parks,
animation, Disney history, and more. Special “early bird” discounted
tickets are available through December 31, 2012, and D23 Members receive
an additional discount on tickets as well as special perks at the Expo.
