Have you heard of the D23 fan club? It’s an official club from the Disney Company. From their site:
I do have some of the magazines; they’re not bad, especially since they’ve discontinued Disney Adventures.
But…I don’t know. The magazines are really the only things I want, and they’re pretty hard to get otherwise (only from a Disney store, or occasionally a Barnes and Noble; and they’re $16 a piece). But that’s a lot of money that could be spent on other things.
In addition, most of that is stuff I won’t use. I don’t plan anytime soon on going to Expo, I’m either not interested in or can’t afford the exclusive merchandise. In addition, the things I use most from them, the “This Day in Disney”, comics, and “Ask Dave,” are all online for free.
What do you guys think? ^^
