D23 is the official Walt Disney Company fan club.
In 2016 each Gold Member received this first-of-its-kind
collection
commemorating the restoration of Walt Disney's office suite at the Disney
Studio's Burbank lot. Thoughtfully selected from the Walt
Disney Archives, 23 meticulously reproduced treasures combine to trace
Walt's path from America's heartland to the world stage. These
memento
reproductions range from monumental (a

grand opening pass) to personal (an internal
memo, a holiday greeting card), reflecting the remarkable breadth of
Walt's interests and achievements while defining his dynamic legacy.
All 23 shown below are included. (continued below) |
