Disney Movie Club
I've gotten these flyers in the mail for quite a while now, for the Disney Movie Club. I kinda blew them off at first, but since Jack has become obsessed with Disney Cars, we bought him the DVD and I realized how freaking expensive those things are! I remember when I was little we had all the Disney VHS tapes and would watch them all the time. I wanted the same for Jack, but I'm too cheap to pay $29.95 each for DVD/BluRay.
Enter the DMC. I surveyed all my mommy friends, and my resident Disney expert, Cousin B. All of them said that it was a good deal, so I signed up.
The details are that you pick out 5 DVDs or BluRays initially. You can chose to pay $1.99 each for the first initial 5, or if you pay with your credit card, you get them for $1.00 TOTAL. Then, you agree to purchase 4 DVDs/BluRays over the course of 2 years at the regular price of $19.95 for DVD and $29.95 for BluRay.
You're probably thinking, what is the big deal if you are going to pay full price for 4 movies? Well, if you do the math...you're saving a whole lot of money!
We have a BluRay player, so we did the BluRay option (plus, most of those come with DVDs with bonus features, so that's even more bang for your buck).
For our initial 5, we got Dumbo 70th Anniversary Edition, Toy Story w/ bonus DVD, A Bug's Life w/ bonus DVD, Up w/ bonus DVD and Cars 2 w/ bonus DVD. We opted for the $1.00 option by giving our credit card.
So, since we will end up purchasing at least a total of 4 BluRays including our initial 5 (for a total of 9), we would have paid $269.55 retail price. However...since we joined the DMC, we will pay only $119.80, a savings of $149.75!!!
PLUS, each DVD/BluRay comes with a Disney Movie Rewards code, which you can enter on their website and redeem the points for prizes like toys, DVDs, apparel, memorabilia and more! Winnah Winnah!!!
I feel like Disney movies are timeless, and honestly, I would rather put on a movie that he may not be completely 100% interested in right now, as opposed to Dora or Diego which I feel like rots his brain. And Disney is wholesome, classic, and brings a lot of good memories back for me, so I want to pass those on to my son :)
