Are you currently or plan on becoming a D23 gold member? Well, Disney has just announced what this year’s sign up gift will be. Let’s take a look:
From D23
“Join this magical celebration with a magnificent gift 100 years in the making—the Mickey Mouse “Leader of the Club” Milestone Statue, designed with platinum panache for D23 Gold Members by artist James Fauntleroy. This icon of the Disney 100 years celebration is available to all new and renewing D23 Gold Members in 2023 beginning January 1, 2023!”
“Over the past 100 years, The Walt Disney Company has told stories that have defined generations, inspired the world, and introduced all of us to beloved characters that bring out the best parts of ourselves.
“Starting with a small cartoon studio in 1923, Walt Disney’s dream has grown into a rich, century-long legacy of the world’s most inspiring stories, places, and fans. A momentous milestone deserves an equally incredible icon, so D23: The Official Disney Fan Club has partnered with artist James Fauntleroy and Gentle Giant Studios to create the Mickey Mouse “Leader of the Club” Milestone Statue to pay tribute to The Walt Disney Company’s rich legacy of unmatched creativity—and inspire the next century of storytellers!”
This icon of the Disney 100 Celebration is available for new and renewing D23 Gold Members in 2023. The Card and Certificate will ship 2-4 weeks following enrollment or renewal, and the statue will begin shipping by Spring 2023.
