I plan on taking as many pictures as I can. The downside is that most of the arena presentations do not allow it (you have to check in your phones and cameras at the door)...but last time, they did allow cameras for Parks & Resorts. If this is the case this year, you better believe I'll be snapping away!!!! :mrgreen:

I'm sure if you pony up the money, they will let you join! You could tell them you are 23 and see if they'll give you a discount ;)

Happy advanced birthday, elizabethswann! However, I don't think that will get you a free D23 membership... :( :wink: :mickey:

The latest D23 for the Fall 2011 just came in the mail today. It's all about WDW's 40th, and has articles about the history of WDW, WDW extinct attractions, and one of my favorite by-gone restaurants - the Empress Lily. It also comes with 1 (of 7) patches featuring a land/attraction from the original park map from opening date. Keep an eye on the mail box....

We won't be getting ours for a while since we just renewed. But I saw a picture of the available patches and am definitely going to keep an eye out at the Expo for the set. I figure since the Epcot patches were so popular, they will probably sell another set of the WDW 40th. (I hope)

Speaking of the expo, since I haven't really been keeping up on it here (been too busy on twitter), I've included a link to the D23 Expo site where all the latest info is. The current schedule is the page I have the link opening to...

http://d23.disney.go.com/expo/schedule- ... index.html

As more and more is posted, I'm getting more and more frustrated as there are so many things I'd like to do but they all overlap! Oh well...I'd rather have too much to choose from than not enough. There will be plenty of "plan B's" (and "plan C's" for that matter...).

I got an email from D23 saying that they had neglected to send out email renewal reminders and I am eligible for renewal without losing any benefits. Now I am wondering if I should renew? I wasn't overly sad when I hadn't renewed but now I have a second chance to keep my "charter member" status. What to do?!

Depends on how she looks at it, I guess...
She purposely didn't renew, but now has a second chance to. I guess it's a bit of both! :lol:

Yeah, I guess I'll look at the email more carefully tomorrow and remind myself of how much it costs for a year. For no more than I have looked at the magazine this first year or two, I'm leaning toward letting it lapse. I'm not sure the magazine will ever be very collectible and the goodies that come with it aren't that enticing to me :roll:

The Disney Food blog had an excellent article on the food choices available at the D23 expo this year. If you're planning on going, you might want to check it out...here is the link http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2011/08/0 ... -d23-expo/

I can't believe they took away some of the dining options! Now the lines are going to be totally out of control!!!
We still won't leave the convention center though...we will plan accordingly for food.
