it depends on what you are looking for. On the website, yea you can order those pins. BUt any event that they hold, you have to be a silver member or higher and show your D23 card to attend. When they do pin releases at Walt Disney's Imagineering at mickeys of Glendale, you can only attend and buy the pins if you are a silver or gold member ( or a guest of a silver/gold member). So it just depends on what you are looking to join for. If you are local to the events they hold and want to go to them, buy a silver membership. If you just want the D23 pins they release on the site, which is not many or too spectacular, join with a free membership.
