D23 Gold and Gold Family Members will receive their Summer edition of the Disney twenty-three magazine in a few weeks. The latest issue will take members behind the scenes of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!

Take a look at that photo! The Millennium Falcon up close! Photos aren’t all that are in the next expanded  issue of Disney twenty-three.

There will be three stories focused on the new, 14-acre lands opening in Disneyland on May 31 and in Disney World on August 29. The stories will include exclusive interviews with some of the Imagineers behind this historic project. Readers will also get the lay of the land and the stories behind the land as they explore the two groundbreaking attractions Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run and Rise of the Resistance.  Lastly the magazine will explore the role of technology in the immersiveness of the land.

And, one cover isn’t good enough for an expanded issue of Disney twenty-three. This edition will have two covers! The second cover features Simba from the live-action version of The Lion King opening in July.

The film’s director Jon Favreau and stars Billy Eichner, Seth Rogen, and Shahadi Wright Joseph, talk about bringing the classic film to the screen in an all-new way.
