Is there any benefit to
D23 for someone who no longer lives in LA, and only makes it to
Disneyland once every 3 or 4 years? I'd been toying with joining, but wasn't sure I could see the advantages.
D23 has held events in places besides LA such as Walt Disney World and NYC. If I'm not mistaken, I think they even held a special event at a Lion King showing in Anchorage. That said, I think D23 has been Disney-park centric to date so if you don't live in California or Florida, it might not be worth your while if you're interested in the events.
The magazine is beautiful and the articles are entertaining. D23 also has members-only merchandise, if you're into that. I joined to have access to the events. I live in the Bay Area, but I'm from San Diego so I'm always game for a trip home.
