Beginning January 1, 2025, D23 Gold Membership plans will be expanded from two to three different plans that will provide Gold Members with more flexibility and choice. Each Gold Membership plan will continue to include access to D23 events, discounts, and special offers along with the addition of an exclusive D23 Gold Membership Kit. The 2025 D23 Gold Membership Kit will include a membership certificate and card, a Savings Passport (providing discounts with Disney and Friends of Disney), a collectible Stitch pin, Goofy and Max car magnet, and a special D23 Disney Lorcana trading card featuring Iago from the Disney classic Aladdin (1992). Membership will also include the Disney twenty-three publication that will come in a visually stunning digital and interactive version beginning with the Spring 2025 issue. A print version of the latest issue of Disney twenty-three will be available for purchase on DisneyStore.com by D23 Gold Members who join or renew in 2025. All of these benefits will be available as part of the Gold Member Essential Plan offered at $49.99 per year.
The new middle tier plan will be the Gold Member Choice Plan offered at $99.99 per year. The Choice Plan includes everything in the Essential Plan plus one of four new D23 Gold Member Exclusive Premium Items to be selected by the Member. The premium item options are:
- A one-of-a-kind, fashionable D23 Gold Member Spirit Jersey;
- A limited-release collectible D23 Gold Member Pin Box Set, featuring 10 pins with original character designs;
- A D23 Gold Member Fan Pack complete with a D23 Gold Member-embroidered crossbody bag, water bottle, and chino twill cap; or
- An enchanting replica of the Disneyland Park Entrance plaque (measuring 12″ inches” by 7″ inches”), a reproduction of the original plaque text draft with Walt Disney’s annotations from 1955, along with a first-to-market exclusive edition of the brand-new Disneyland 70th anniversary book, The Happiest Place on Earth, written by Disney Legend Don Hahn and former Disney Imagineer Christopher Merritt.
The new highest tier membership plan will be the Gold Complete Plan which includes everything in the Essential Plan and all four D23 Gold Member Premium Items for $299.99 per year.
The D23 Gold Duo Membership plan will no longer be available for new or renewing members in 2025 and removed as a membership option as of December 31, 2024. The Gold Duo Membership purchased or renewed in 2024 will be honored in 2025 until the expiration date, at which time, the membership will be cancelled and individual memberships may be purchased.
Current D23 Gold Members renewing their membership in 2025 will renew automatically as a D23 Gold Choice Membership Plan unless one of the other membership plans is selected prior to renewal. Renewing Members will have up until 48 hours prior to your renewal date to make a change to your Membership Plan and to select your D23 Gold Member Premium Item, as applicable to your Membership Plan. If you are renewing for the D23 Gold Choice Membership Plan and do not make a D23 Gold Member Premium Item selection at least 48 hours prior to your renewal date, you will receive Disney’s designated default D23 Gold Member Premium Item. Within 48 hours prior to your renewal date, you will not be able to make any further changes to your membership, except to cancel the membership.
D23 will continue to offer a complimentary General Membership, which includes the weekly FanFare newsletter, seasonal activations, and access to sweepstakes and general events.
