For those unfamiliar with how the yearly D23 Membership gift works, when you initially buy or renew your D23 Gold and/or Gold Family Membership, you receive a special member gift that is only available for that calendar year. In the past D23 members have received calendars, pens etc. as their yearly D23 Member gift. But, over the last few years D23 has gone to replicating historical Disney items and papers, which in my opinion gives members a deeper connection to the history of the Disney company while fostering member interest in learning about more about the history of the movies and character they love.
Today D23 announced that the 2018 D23 Membership gift will follow their recent membership gift trend with a set of historical replicas that will "chronicle the career of everyone’s favorite mouse, from Steamboat Willie to Shanghai Disneyland." The 2018 D23 Member gift will be a Mickey Mouse themed set that comes with twenty-three Mickey Mouse inspired Disney Archives reproductions. Members can follow Mickey from his black and white cel days to his colorful adventures in Fantasia, to his time on the Disney Channel and even his adventures to the Tokyo and Shanghai Disneyland parks. The reproductions will ship in a keepsake display box. Members will receive their gift shortly after they originally join or renew their D23 Gold or Gold Family Membership during the 2018 calendar year.
The box, which comes just in time for Mickey's 90th Birthday, will come with the following Mickey inspired reproductions:
1 - Steamboat Willie Original Script Pages (1928)
2 - Mickey Mouse Comic Strip Fan Card (1931)
3 - Miniature Cel from Parade of the Award Nominees (1932)
