D23 Gold Theater presented by State Farm – On Demand!

D23 Gold Theater is returning in 2026 to bring Disney fans even closer to the magic.

A new feature that is coming in January 2026 will allow D23 Gold Members to enjoy 24/7 access to a growing library of episodes with D23 Theater On Demand. This will allow D23 Gold Members to relive their favorite moments at any time from any location! D23 Gold Theater On Demand is a feature that is being added by popular demand from fans.

Disneyland Resort Savings

D23 Gold Members can save 5% on select Disneyland Resort Park Hopper Tickets and multi-day 1-park per day tickets. They can also have the option to add the Lightning Lane Multi Pass. D23 Members can choose Lightning Lane Multi Pass as a ticket add-on option at the time of purchase when buying tickets through a special D23 Gold Member website and receive the 5% savings.
