Chroniq Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 As many may know, Disney began a viral campaign in December with posters, first spotted outside the Burbank studio, asking the question; Are you 23? Disney.com/23 allowed you to sign up for the announcement on March 10th. Speculation ran rampart on Disney sites (maybe here too? I didn't see a post) of what it could be.. Here is the answer, if you care. On October 23, 2008 Disney registered these websites d23expo.com disneyexpo.com disneystwentythree.com disneystwenty-three.com Disney filed for two trademarks in late March 2008 The are "D23" and "Disney Twenty Three" They filed a number of numerous classes of trademarks for general merchandise. (clothes, pins, etc.).The last filing though is the most interesting.. "Word Mark D23 Goods and Services IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: Education and entertainment services, namely, providing information in the field of children's entertainment, theme park service, animated and live-action films and television programs, books, magazines, music and music performers, ice shows, stage productions, consumer products history, history and news concerning the entertainment business; fan club services; providing information via global computer network in the field of entertainment and history; fan club services; providing information via global computer network in the field of entertainment and history" This was the last one posted for opposition on February 10.... Also this image was found on disneyshopping.com http://s7disney.images.go.com/is/image/DisneyShopping/300459 Although I don't have all the exact details, It will be a Disney enthusiast fan club that will have an annual fee. They will also have a convention/expo for all members sometime this year... Is this my first post? I hope I made it a good one. Chris "Really Bored on a Sunday" Con

gotdane Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Hmm...I was wondering what this was. I had seen the posters. Sounds like a big ol' fat money making scheme. We'll see what's offered, though.
Xizor_Racer Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Money Making Scheme.............................. Disney.................... No?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?
gotdane Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 ^ I know right...lol. It is what they do best!
Jew Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I'm not really sure what money there is left to be made. They are just ever so slightly late to the "Disneyana" party. It's going to have to be a really strong product.
the ghost Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I like that pin, I only have 2, but that one looks nice.
Rocket Rodder Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 A viral campain...? And what does 23 have to do with... anyting?
the ghost Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 No one knows about it, but I think it is going to be a lot bigger than we are all thinking. Here is a countdown, making me think this is actually going to be a new announcement. Maybe the new parades, are both Disney parks not getting a new parade. Here is the countdown disney.go.com/23/twenty_three/preview/index.html This rumor actually totally makes sense, although, I don't know if they would make this big of a deal for the classic Disney films on Blu Ray. It makes sense with the black and white pin, but I am in denial, and still want to think its the parade. www.disunplugged.com/2009/01/11/are-you-23/[/img]
CoasterLine Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 That DisneyShopping image is now a picture of a Mickey stuffed animal... I'm guessing they changed it... what was it previously?
Chroniq Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Yeah they changed it a couple hours ago.. I found another site that saved the images that I linked to before... Here you go.. http://www.wdwnewstoday.com/archives/2736
Fork Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Good job solving this. Now solve the mysterious yellow B&M track.
Mechanic Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 So, this is like a personal seat license that sports stadiums sell you just so you have the "right" to buy season tickets, except this is for Disney merchandise?
Mr. Starr Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Shine on? Disney, what's going on? www.shineontoday.com/
Jew Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Considering that link comes from the Community Relations page, I suspect its a charity effort...
