The GOLDEN GATE DISNEYANA CLUB (GGDC) is the Club for Disney enthusiasts of all ages. It is the original Northern California Chapter of the National Fantasy Fan Cub (NFFC), an international, non-profit organization committed to preserving and sharing the rich legacy of Walt Disney. Founded on Halloween in 1987 when Ray Vyeda and Disney animation Legend Bill Justice, the creative force behind Chip and Dale, joined with other Bay Area and Northern California fans to share their love of Disney. The GGDC offers something for everyone; from collecting animation art to Disney pins, from the latest Disney news to inside stories on Disney history. For nearly 20 years, the GGDC has been bringing the Disney Magic to its Members.
