The winter 2012 issue of Disney Files Magazine confirms previous reports that Disney Vacation Club members would soon receive complimentary D23 membership, but few additional details are revealed.
According to Disney Files, Disney Vacation Club members will be offered "an exclusive membership level" in D23 - The Official Disney Fan Club. This unique membership level will be free, and will grant access to "special discounts, events, merchandise and more."
D23 currently offers two membership levels to the public. The $30 Silver Membership provides a member ID card and certificate, email newsletter, one annual membership gift plus access to a year's worth of merchandise & special events (additional fee) and a slate of member discounts.
The $75 Gold Membership adds a quarterly print magazine and a variety of collectible gifts to the above perks.
Although Disney Files does state that DVC owners will receive a unique D23 membership card, It is unknown how the complimentary fan club membership will vary from the above.
DVC owners wishing to participate must register at DVCMember.com. Registration will begin sometime in January 2013.
