Great show, gentlemen.
One thing to consider regarding the D23 membership is the yearly subscription to the Twenty-Three magazine. While some may not find value in this magazine nor will some want to take it home after reading it at a Barnes and Noble, there will be those Disney Fans, and I am assuming many, who will commit to purchasing every release throughout the year potentially because of it’s content.
Considering that the magazine is priced at roughly $17 ($68 if you buy the four per year) and the D23 membership fee is currently $75 with the four magazines included, some may the see value in the $8 increase on top of what they will already spend. That $8 could lead to potential perks and events specifically for D23 members.
Just some thoughts.

Oops, typo.
“some may the see value in the $8 increase on top of what they will already spend”
Should be: “some may see the value in the $8 increase on top of what they will already spend”

I agree, I think there is value it has just taken a few looks to see what is actually offered to understand the cost of membership. I will be signing up soon, once the WDW trip is paid for first.
