Hey there, hi there, Brian! Welcome to planDisney. We love helping Guests get their planning questions answered, and you've brought us a great one!
As someone who frequents the parks any chance I can get, I am always looking for a good discount! When a Cast Member at a shop or food service checkout asks if you have any discounts, the most common ones they are asking about are
Magic Key,
Disney Vacation Club, or
Disney Visa Card Member discounts. I haven't heard D23 Gold memberships as one commonly accepted. However, I took a look at the
D23 discounts and offers, and I was thrilled to see there are a few
Downtown Disney District locations as well as local hotels that currently have some discounts available for Disneyland.
I definitely think being a Disney Visa Card Member has been worthwhile for my visits. Not only will you get your discount at many locations throughout the resort, but you also earn Redemption Dollars. Redemption Dollars can be used at Disneyland, but Walt Disney World, and even ShopDisney.com too. If you like Character experiences, you will also be able to get exclusive cardmember experiences in both Disneyland and California Adventure.
Brian, hopefully this information helps! See you real soon!
Carrie
