Default Are you 23?

Disney has created a new viral marketing campaign, saying "Are you 23?" Everything I've read so far is pure speculation, and this is being kept tightly under wraps (as far as I can tell). Maybe someone has better Google-fu than I do, and can find something?

ETA: I found this, but I wonder if that's really what it is.

Hmmm, I dunno what it is, but the "exclusive club" scenario seems the most likely to me, especially with the mention of the convention and also all the rumors going around about the "adult" park... maybe it's not an adult park, but an exclusive thing for members of an elite group of super-disney fans, like access to special events, promo materials, etc. as well as a special version of "club 33" for members of this group? that's my guess, anyways. we'll know in another month.

23 - the average number of times a parent is forced to watch a DVD of the same Disney movie repeatedly by their kids untill they want to take it outside and practice skeet shooting with it?

23 - the maximum number of minutes a parent can fast forward through the DVD while the kid goes to the toilet without the kid noticing?

23 - the price in dollars of a hot dog at one of the theme parks?

23 - the length in furlongs of a queue to board a ride?

Yes I am a parent and Disney robbed me of my sanity. Why do you ask?

Regarding the first item on Eddy's list: Some years ago, the pastor at my church (at that time) was doing the children's segment. She asked, "How many of you have watched The Lion King?" I told her later that she left out the follow-up question: "Parents, how many of you have watched it so many times with your children that you're ready to take a sledgehammer to it?"

I don't know what the number 23 has to do with it, but i have it on good authority, that they are going to re-animate Walt. He is coming back and will be the savior for ABC/Disney...

Welcome back Walt. We look forward to seeing you!!!

I liked the story some comedian told where his son or nephew or some such relation's favorite movie was Beethoven, with the big St. Bernard, and he'd played the DVD dozens of times. Then Beethoven 2 came out, and he hit on a plan for avoiding the same fate. He waited till the kid paused the disk to go to the bathroom, took it out and slipped in Cujo...

Just pointing out that no one ever tied this to the actual answer:

No, they aren't making an animated, musical version of 23?
