Members will receive a collection of 23 items reproduced “From the Office of Walt Disney.”
BURBANK, Calif. – December 29, 2015 –
D23: The Official Disney Fan Club
didn’t have to look far for inspiration for its 2016 Gold Member gift,
“From the Office of Walt Disney.” To celebrate the restoration of Walt
Disney’s office suite on the Studios’ Burbank lot,
the Walt Disney Archives worked with D23 to meticulously reproduce 23
unique pieces from Walt’s career that trace his path from America’s
heartland to the world stage.
Included
in the assortment are items from Walt’s early years in business such as
his 1923 Laugh-O-gram Films Inc. business card and the famous 1928
“Everything OK” telegram,
which Walt cryptically wired his brother Roy when he lost the rights to
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Also in the collection are the 1955 Disneyland
invitational press preview pass and Walt’s notes on pages from the
“EPCOT Film” script from 1966. Pieces representing
animation, live action, television, and theme parks—as well as Walt’s
own personal life—make up this one-of-a-kind set.
The
gift comes in a “book” designed specifically to hold all the items and
will be sent to all D23 Gold and Gold Family Members who join or renew
from January 1 through
December 31, 2016. Guests can see images from the gift—and learn more
about the 23 rare items—at
D23.com/OfficeOfWaltDisney.
As previously announced, D23 Gold Members will have the opportunity to
tour Walt Disney’s restored office during tours and select special
events throughout 2016.
Fans can join D23 at Gold Membership ($74.99), Gold Family Membership ($99.99), and General Membership (complimentary) levels at
D23.com
and at
DisneyStore.com/D23. D23 Members save when renewing their membership and may renew up to 90 days prior to their membership expiration.
