If you join or renew Disney’s D23 fan club in 2021 at the Gold level, there’s a pretty cool gift you’ll get. The set celebrates the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World.  

The member set includes 5 retro-style pins, a pennant, a vinyl record featuring music from the parks, a commemorative newspaper, and a vintage-inspired lunchbox!  

Here’s D23’s description of what’s included in the 2021 Gold Collector Set (what they used to call the “Member gift”):

    • A usable tin lunchbox, paying tribute to a 1970s classic, featuring both vintage favorites and attractions and characters from around Walt Disney World

Taking inspiration from a fabulous 1973 fan favorite, this lunchbox—designed by Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily—features Mickey, Donald, Chip and Dale, icons from all four Walt Disney World theme parks, a magical musical band led by Figment himself, and vignettes of scenes from Typhoon Lagoon to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.

    • A custom-designed set of five soft enamel pins, honoring some of our favorite personalities from the parks

Designed exclusively for D23 Gold Members by artists Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily, these pins feature the Orange Bird atop the classic Walt Disney World Logo, Henry the Bear from Country Bear Jamboree at the Magic Kingdom, Figment from EPCOT’s Journey Into Imagination, R3-X from his “Captain Rex” years at Star Tours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and the legendary Yeti from Expedition Everest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

    • A retro felt pennant to put your D23 pride on display anywhere you go

Inspired by the vivid colors and designs of retro Walt Disney World shopping bags, this full-sized D23 pennant—designed by artist and the Official Voice of Mickey Mouse, Bret Iwan—allows you to show off your membership to The Official Disney Fan Club at home or wherever you go!

    • An exclusive 7” vinyl album, Walt Disney World: Then and Now

In partnership with Walt Disney Records, D23 is proud to present a “mini-version” of the ultimate theme park souvenir: the theme park soundtrack album! Pressed on cheerful transparent red vinyl, this exclusive 7” disc features a 1971 classic, “Bear Band Serenade” from Country Bear Jamboree, on one side and a modern classic, “Nothing Can Stop Us Now” from Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, on the other—on vinyl for the first time.

    • A 2021 tribute to an original publication, the Walt Disney World News, filled with articles curated to commemorate this milestone

The set also features a 2021 tribute to an original publication, the Walt Disney World News, filled with articles curated to commemorate this milestone. Inside, you’ll find a welcome letter from head of D23 Michael Vargo, a retrospective on the origins of Walt Disney’s “Florida Project,” and a tribute to “50 Favorite Things” found at Walt Disney World Resort—written by the staff of D23 and the Walt Disney Archives to inspire adventures of your own!

As we previously shared, D23’s 2021 membership options include two paid plans, an individual “Gold” plan starting at $99.99 and a “Gold Duo” plan (which replaces the Family Plan in 2021) at $129.99.
