D23: Disney Fan Club Event Schedule


D23 is Disney's latest membership club for fans and collectors. In addition to a gorgeous quarterly magazine, the club offers exclusive merchandise and special events like the D23 Expo, which has been held in the Anaheim Convention Center near Disneyland. They are spectacular star-studded productions that will knock your socks off. The first one in 2009 featured stars like Johnny Depp in full Captain Jack Sparrow regalia, Nicholas Cage from the National Treasure movies, Miley Cyrus doing a Hanna Montana song, and more, animators like Glenn Keane, Andreas Deja, and Eric Goldberg, with John Lasseter of Pixar/Toy Story fame, Randy Thornton - the genius of Disney music, and the dean of Disney Imagineering, Marty Sklar. Throw in three days of special merchandise events, and a Disney collectibles show and expositions from Disneyland, and you have an idea of what you can expect.

The club also holds many smaller special events like tours through the Studio and special events in Disneyland and Walt Disney World. The next D23 Expo will be August 9-11, 2012 in Anaheim, CA near Disneyland. You can find details about the event and the schedule on their website linked above.

Disneyana Fan Club Annual Convention

The Disneyana Fan Club (formerly the National Fantasy Fan Club or NFFC) is the largest Disney collectors club in the world, and their annual convention is always something special. There are always many special guests from the Walt Disney Company, including artists and Imagineers, who give the atendees a special insight into their work. One of the most popular customs at this convention is "room-hopping," where conventioneers open their rooms in the evenings to display and sell items from their collections. Its a great way for individuals to sell their treasures and also a great way to meet fellow collectors. The convention lasts four or five days and culminates with the banquet on Saturday night followed by the Show and Sale on Sunday. The convention literally fills the Hyatt Alicante Hotel where its held every year. The Hayatt Alicante Hotel is located about one mile south of Disneyland on Harbor Blvd., and they offer special rates to those attending the convention. The hotel fills quickly, so be sure to get your reservation in early. The costs are quite reasonable, too, but you must be an NFFC member to attend convention events (except for the show and sale which is open to the public).

In addition to the annual convention in July, the DFC also holds a kick-off mini-convention in mid-to-late January also traditionally at the Hyatt Alicante. It includes seminars and a luncheon (with guest Disney Studio celebrities) and a big Disney collectibles show and sale on Sunday. You must be a DFC member to attend their conventions. The Show and Sale opens early to convention attendees, and opens to the public around noon.
