Isn't D23 a self-organizing fan club that pays their way to have access to Disney?

I mean it was nice of Disney to consider them as a group who will throw cash at Disney for a preview (which D23 recoups by charging its members... for a profit?).

But the real niceness here is *free* previews for DVC and AP. Two groups who have mourned that Disney doesn't care about them anymore.
No. D23 is owned and operated by Disney.

Not sure how something that breaks down more than a 75 amc pacer lives up to hype but okay.
I feel like it was pretty clear I was referring to the ride's design and not its downtime - which I'll grant you IS significant and also a bummer.

The point was that if Disney had any reasonable expectation that Cosmic Rewind would impress in any way similar to a functioning Rise, they'd be shouting it from Topolino. But they aren't doing that.

Valid points.

Umm no, not at all. D23 was directly created by Disney and is fully run by them.

The price of a yearly D23 membership plus this event is around the price of a regular ticket to Epcot, which is what’s surprising to me. Annual Passholders and DVC members are no less special but already pay a lot more money.

I was in queue with about 60 folks in front of me, then realized that we leave on the 9th so I backed out of it. My only gripe is that they only offered dvc 2 days. Our AP expired October 2021. 😒
