New details on free D23 membership Written by Tim Krasniewski. January 24 2013 Posted in Member Perks News

In late 2012 Disney Vacation Club reported that its members would soon be eligible for a free membership in D23: The Official Disney Fan Club. New details have since emerged as to exactly what that free level of participation would entail.

Among the benefits of the complimentary D23 membership being offered to Disney Vacaiton Club owners are:

Weekly D23 FanFare email newsletter

FanFare email newsletter Access to restricted web content

Ability to purchase D23 merchandise

merchandise Access to select D23 member discounts

Among the perks NOT available in this free membership level are:

Membership card and certificate

Annual membership gift

Access to D23 exclusive events

exclusive events Subscription to the D23 quarterly print magazine

These differences make the complimentary DVC membership level a separate entity from D23's standard Gold and Silver level offerings. The Gold level membership includes all of the above for an annual fee of $74.95. The Silver level membership includes all listed perks except the print magazine for $29.95 per year.

Disney Vacation Club had previously indicated that members would be able to register for the free D23 club access sometime in January 2013. That date appears to have been pushed back as DVC now states that members will receive registration information via email sometime in the spring of 2013.
