D23 MEMBERS CAN GO “OFF THE MAP” AT DISNEYLAND
New Sweepstakes Offers
D23 Members the Chance to Unlock the Magic of The Happiest Place on Earth With
a Once-In-a-Lifetime Tour
BURBANK, Calif. – July 17, 2013 – In celebration of Disneyland’s 58th anniversary today, D23: The
Official Disney Fan Club has launched the “Off the Map Sweepstakes.” Twenty-five lucky D23 Members and their
guests will be invited to Disneyland
Park to visit four of the
park’s little-seen but widely heard of locations: Walt Disney’s
private apartment, the Lilly Belle VIP parlor car on the Disneyland Railroad, Circle D Ranch, and
the Disneyland Dream Suite.
“Our friends at Disneyland will give the winning
D23 Members a special glimpse at some of the park’s most amazing hidden
gems, special places that most guests never get to see,” said Steven
Clark, Head of D23. “Our first
‘Off the Map’ member event in 2012 was such a huge hit that we
wanted to reprise it with this special sweepstakes so even more of our members
have a chance to visit these truly magical and historical Disneyland
locations.”
Winners will be able to explore:
Walt Disney’s private
apartment:
Built during the initial construction of Disneyland,
Walt Disney’s private apartment is a quaint studio dwelling, filled with
Victorian decor, family photos, and antiques selected by the Disney family
Lilly
Belle VIP parlor car: Disneyland
guests have long taken grand circle tours on the Disneyland Railroad, but few ever enjoy the ride from the
elegant Lilly Belle VIP car parlor.
Named after Walt’s wife, Lillian, the Lilly Belle is truly a piece of
history, built in 1955, and refurbished to its modern state of luxury for America’s
bicentennial celebration in 1976.
Circle
D Ranch: From the friendly goats at Big Thunder Ranch to the
horses who carry guests down Main Street, U.S.A., Circle D Ranch is home to Disneyland’s beloved “four-legged cast
members.”
Disneyland Dream Suite: This private space above Pirates of the Caribbean was originally
planned to be another apartment for Walt Disney, but he passed away before its
completion. In 2008, Imagineers used
some of Walt’s original ideas and some truly magical surprises of their
own to transform it into a fantasy villa like no other.
D23 Members may enter the sweepstakes beginning today
through August 23 at D23.com. The tour will take place on Wednesday, October 2. Winners will be able to attend with one (1) guest. For complete rules, details, and eligibility
please visit D23.com. No purchase required; guests may join D23 for free
at D23.com.
