Favorite Things Fridays

I LOVE Disney. Growing up I think the only TV I watched was Sesame Street and Disney movies. We like the classics and growing up we had all of the movies! We also loved those free Disney weekends, when Disney Channel broadcast to everyone for free. We eventually got the Disney Channel, and if the TV was on it was on Disney. Back then they showed those great kids cartoons like Mickey Mouse, Whinnie the Pooh, Duck Tales, Chip and Dale, Tale Spin. They were after-school favs. We eventually stopped watching Disney Channel when it started showing all these "real" shows. (As kids any movie that wasn't a cartoon - with "real people" - we referred to as a "real movie" for example we had the Rogers and Hammerstien version of Cinderella and Disney's Cinderella. So we referred to them as "Cinderella" and "The Real Cinderella")

Anyway, a few years ago I stumbled onto the Disney Movie Club. It's like one of those book or music clubs only obviously they sell Disney Movies. I knew I would be buying Disney movies once our kids came along, but when I was honest with myself and realized that I really wanted them for me too! When I signed up I got five or six DVDs for $30. Then you have to buy four or five more over the course of two years at regular price (which I would have done anyway). After that you are a Disney Movie Club VIP and you great deals on Disney movies. A few months ago I wanted to get Sterling the Baby Einstein movies. I bought one at regular price and the rest were five dollars! They have Disney movies, TV shows, everything! They have all of those older Disney Channel shows that we grew up watching. I have gotten so many DVDs and saved so much money through this program. One more great thing about Disney is if your disk gets scratched or broken, you can send the disk back with the original case and they will replace it. All you have to do is pay shipping!

The only catch is, once you become a Disney VIP they send out a movie each month. They will send out an email to announce what the movie is and what deals they have going. All you have to do is go to Disney's site and tell them you do not want it if you don't. But if you forget to do this they will automatically send it to you. I have forgotten to do this a few months, and as long as you don't open the package you can return to sender and they will refund your money. However, after doing this a few times you get a nice little note in the mail that asks you to please cancel the movie of the month if you don't want it.

If you are interested in doing this too let me know and give me your email. I will give Disney your name and email address and they will send you the info. You can go to their website too but if you decide to join through me they will give me a free movie.
