D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, also known as Disney D23 or simply D23, is the official fan club for The Walt Disney Company. Founded in 2009, the organization is known mainly for its biennial[2] exposition event, D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event (previously known as the D23 Expo). The name D23 refers to D for Disney and 23 for 1923, which is the year Walt Disney founded the company.[3]
