D23 patch in the mail today

[JoeZer]

Yes, they were in the magazine package.

I too would like a complete set. Especially World of Motion and other defunct pavilions. The Horizons one is beautiful.

Here is a link for the complete set

I'm wondering how they got their hands on a complete set...?

 

[JoeZer]

When they did the Disneyland '59 patches there were a lot on eBay. Then they offered the complete set for sale at the D23 first anniversary party by mail-in form that you could only get at the party. Unfortunately, the CM outside where you got the order forms told us that the same stuff would be available on-line so we didn't line up for forms. Nothing ever showed up on-line! :zipit:

Edit: The prices were always crazy-high on eBay!

That silly CM...

When the Disneyland '59 patches came out I didn't even know they were doing that (and I've not yet been to DLR having grown up in Florida and now living in Georgia WDW became a second home to me). But, the DLR '59 patch I received was the Alweg Monorail one.

If there's a form like that to pop-up at the Destination-D event this September I hope someone has the where-with-all to post it somewhere where other D23 members who weren't able to attend can obtain it. :drevil:

Wonder if they will have patches for WoL, World Showcase or Future World.

How much does it cost to join D23? Might join just to get one of these great patches.

Sounds nice but I doubt it at this time. Wonders of Life was not really one of the originally planned Futureworld Pavilions from what I recall and there wasn't a "symbol" like these logos for the entirety of Futureworld either. The initial World Showcase pavilions did not have streamlined symbols like these either (unless you count the countries' flags done up as Mickey-head shaped pins)...

Would make quite a collection, wouldn't it though?

There are two levels of membership for D23. Disney.com/D23 can give you all the details for it...

I got the Universe of Energy. JWG is right ,it really does look like a target or bullseye. :lol:

Since this was just an unexpected freebie, I can't complain that I got this one instead of that one. It was just a nice treat that comes with the membership. If they were for sale, I probably wouldn't buy any of them, but it is something cool to have and if I ever meet a huge "Universe of Energy" fan, I could give it to him or her.

The last time they did patches from attractions that opened in 1959 at Disneyland, I got the Autopia patch, and it looks pretty cool. :king:

I got CommuniCore as well.

I would...if you happen to have, by chance, a Living Seas or Horizons patch you're looking to trade with...

Check this out JoeZer. Post 8 by Snoopy 12 Logos.

The Logo in top row 2nd from the left is Future World (Don't think it was ever used though) The Logo in top row last on the right is Wonders of Life.
Bottom row last on right is World Showcase Logo.

So once upon a time there were logos! Would be nice to make patches of these!

Made it to 200 posts.

YAY! Neat find, Palisades. Thank you for linking it.

I like it when I get to learn new/more things about WDW and meld it in to my experiences.

Sadly, not a D23 member, so nope.

 

[Monorail Lime]

Wow, those look really sharp!

 

[Foolish Mortal]

I received EPCOT Center.

 

[SewIn2Disney]

My fiance and I both recieved Journey into Imagination (yeah...we both have memberships---we both got the membership for each other last year for Christmas...lol).

I'd be willing to trade JII for an Epcot Center one if anyone is interested!

Are these for D23 members only? Like if I go to my local Barnes and Nobles to buy D23, the patch wouldn't be included with it, would it?

 

[SewIn2Disney]

Currently the highest bidder.... Hope it doesn't go too high in the remaining two days... :lookaroun

I hope $107 isn't "too high" because that's what its at now!

Too high for the moment... I'll see where it's at tomorrow just before it closes...

 

[TDTink]

I got a Horizions patch and if anyone wanted it they are welcome to it. I am not looking to collect the whole set and would love to help out a fellow D23 member that wanted to!

 

[PalisadesPkteer]

Anyone have extras willing to trade or sell to a non-D23 member. (Was going to become member until the dental bills racked up.)

 

[PalisadesPkteer]

You're welcome JoeZer.

Not sure on how much the World Showcase logo was used. The logo is from 1982 is the info I found. The Wonders of Life, again not sure how much it was used.

Don't think the Future World one was used. But I could be wrong.

Need Martin to clear this all up. Martin! What can you tell us.

Here is link again. Post 8 by Snoopy. There are 12 Logos.

I liked 'em, but not that much!
