Celebrations Magazine

[poohbear227]

I love mine!! I received it a couple of weeks ago and am still reading and enjoying it. Great magazine. :love:

Great, I'm glad it arrived & it has positive reviews! Could you tell me what sort of info is in it? Sample article topics etc..? I'm considering ordering a subscription. Thanks!

[Dan Murphy]

It is an excellent magazine, very pleased. Here is a rundown.......

[Mrs Grumpy]

I agree with everyone else. I love it!

[bytheblood]

I got it. I enjoyed it.

[JoJo's Mom]

Does anyone happen to know when the next issue is suppose to be sent? (I believe it is the Nov/Dec issue)

[Wild4Walt]

Got it and love it!

There were quite a few articles, some about rides, some about imagineers, some about nostaglic things and lots of fun little trivia type games.

Lots of fun to read, great glossy pics!

[Brian_WDW74]

I've merged more Celebrations Magazine threads together. :)

[shmedly123]

love mine too. Read it cover to cover and loved about 90% of it.

[lucas]

Love it!

Hi all,
I am the wife of the magazine creator and issue #2 has mailed this week so everyone should have it soon - just in time before Christmas!!! :santa: :thumbsup2

We bagged it this time in plastic to protect it in the mail and prevent the label for messing up the cover picture - a Wilderness Lodge Christmas tree!! :dance3:

We wish everyone a great holiday season and enjoy issue #2!!!:woohoo:

:grouphug:Great news. I will be anxiously awaiting for it, as well as my WDW planning DVD.

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

I see that issue #2 is on the way. But did everyone actually receive issue #1 yet?

[athenna]

Thanks for letting us know! I can't wait for #2 to arrive:banana:

[ransom]

Thank you Mahan! DW and I are looking forward to it. And how wonderful that both last issue and this one feature our beloved Wilderness Lodge in one way or another. :thumbsup2

[SweetSpellsSweetie]

I received the Holiday issue this afternoon; It has alot of great pictures! Can't wait to sit down and read it.

[willis37862]

I see that issue #2 is on the way. But did everyone actually receive issue #1 yet?

Read through the thread and you will see lots of people did. :)

[mdhkitten]

I just received issue #2 a few minutes ago! :)

Haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but am happy to say that it's in a plastic bag this time with a piece of paper that has the mailing address, so no address label!!! Woohoo!!! :banana: :cool1:

[TSMAMI]

YEAHHHHHHHH issue #2

[DeblovesPoohbear]

I received the Holiday issue this afternoon; It has alot of great pictures! Can't wait to sit down and read it.

Holiday Issue? Yay! That means mine should arrive anytime :goodvibes

[lucas]

The #2 holiday issue arrived today!

[chrisann]

I emailed Lou a few days ago, and he said that he will send out my #1 issue that I didn't receive yet, I'm hoping I don't have to contact him about the #2 issue and it comes on it's own!

[perkinsrose]

Metropolitan Detroit, Michigan--got my issue #2 in a plastic sleeve and arrived in mint condition---very different from the mangled mess of issue #1. Looks great. Glad to see they smoothed out the mailing issues...

[shmedly123]

can't wait to receive issue #2. We are heading down to the WL next Saturday and this would be great reading on the plane...that is of course if my DD's aren't out of control:)

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

Read through the thread and you will see lots of people did. :)

I've read every word of it. That's why I asked the question. Seemed like a lot of people had to track down the first issue.

[jkid721133]

HEy Mahan...
I just ordered a subscritpion for my DMIL, and also ordered the first issue backordered. Anyone have any idea when she will receive either of them? I dont expect them in time for Christmas, but would love to know when they would be getting either their first of the subscription (Feb/March?) or the debut issue? Thanks again. Also, if you ever need guest writers, I have quite a talent for writing.

[Markstudy]

Wow! Great magazine.

Lots of large pretty photos, high quality thick paper, shipped in a bag so it arrives in mint condition... (and I'm a tough critic pirate: I've canceled 3 or 4 magazines this year).

IF YOU HAVEN'T SUBSCRIBED YET.... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? :banana: :laughing: :thumbsup2 :rotfl2:

What's the best way to back order the 1st edition? I was late signing-up and I just got my #2 today in the mail, after seeing the qulaity, I need to get #1 and have an entire set :wizard:

[wdwgirl03]

Ohhh I am so excited to hear that people are getting their second issue! We leave in ten days and it would be perfect if I got my copy to take along! :goodvibes *crosses fingers*

[harra]

If you got their website (http://www.celebrationspress.com/) and scroll to the bottom, you'll find the ability to backorder either the first or second issue.

[willis37862]

I got the 2nd issue today and it looks great :thumbsup2 It's cool that they listened to feedback and put it in the nice wrapper so there aren't any mailing labels to ruin the front cover! I'm really glad I subscribed even if we had to wait for them to get going, it was worth it :goodvibes

[shmedly123]

just got mine today too and I was one of the last ones to receive issue #1. So maybe the shipping kinks have been ironed out.

[*KeepMovingForward*]

Mine arrived today too and I love the plastic sleeve. The WL looks great for Christmas. :)

[fireman17]

My wife just called me at work to tell me mine had arrived and she's going to read the whole thing before I come home in the morning.
That's just down right mean!! I love her though..:lovestruc

[karen l]

I just received my 2nd issue today too. I took a quick look at the pics - which are awesome - can't wait to read it!

[TSMAMI]

I received mine today too:banana: ..It has a lot of great articles and pics in it.

[mahan11]

Hello,

First of all, we are sooooooooo glad that everyone is receiving issue #2 and loving it!!!:cool1: We really tried to listen to everyone's feedback and get this issue out a lot quicker and covered in plastic. We received ours today too!!!:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

To answer your question....issue #3 should be out around early February and any back issues of issue #1 we mail out pretty much right away to you so you should have that one in about a week. If you order back issue #2, we have not received our 1000 extras yet, so that one (Christmas issue) may take longer. We are headed to Disney This Thursday, Dec. 11th ourselves for Mousefest and will probably ship single issue #2 orders when we get back around Dec. 17th.:santa:

Hope that answers your questions!!!:yay:

Thanks everyone for all of your support!!!

I finally recieved issue #1 this week:cool1: . I had ordered the magazine in August, but never got it. When I had e-mailed Lou about this(3 wks ago), he sent one out ASAP. What a GREAT job they did on it!!! I can't wait for issue #2-hope to find it in my mailbox soon:thumbsup2 !!!!

[athenna]

I can't wait for issue #2 to get here!:banana:

[HARASW]

I can't wait for issue #2 to get here!:banana:

Just received mine yesterday. What a great job they've done!

The one problem that I have is that my kids take it and read it cover to cover before it is returned to me to read. I must be patient!!

[HARASW]

Ohhh I am so excited to hear that people are getting their second issue! We leave in ten days and it would be perfect if I got my copy to take along! :goodvibes *crosses fingers*

Have a wonderful trip!!

[bsbrady]

Got my 2nd issue yesterday. I love this magazine!:cool1:

[Markstudy]

If you got their website (http://www.celebrationspress.com/) and scroll to the bottom, you'll find the ability to backorder either the first or second issue.

Thanks for the help, I just ordered issue #1 :3dglasses

+1.

[ransom]

Received issue #2 last night. I'm very impressed at the improvement in the shipping process! The immediate and total change in policy (from labels to a printed sheet, and from bare to plastic wrapped), plus the quality of the plastic bag used, makes me feel very good about subscribing.

I'm looking forward to reading the issue over the weekend. :thumbsup2

[allaboutmm]

:cool1: Issue #2 arrived:cool1:

[KSBelle]

# 2 not here yet.
We leave for WDW in 2 days and am hoping to have it to read on the plane!

[ransom]

# 2 not here yet.


Time to try Dulcolax?

[KSBelle]

Time to try Dulcolax?

:rotfl: TOOOOO FUNNY!!!
P.S. It arrived!!!!

[ransom]

It arrived!!!!



Woo hoo!

This issue seems to be spreading across the country much faster than the previous one.

[CarolA]

Well based on the reviews here (and the fact that I really like Lou's podcasts) I ordered the mag and both back issues. Looks like I probably won't get anything until late Dec, but that's OK.

[shellface]

recieved my issue number 2 today :thumbsup2

so chuffed I have got it to read on the 9 hur flight over to wdw in 9 days time :banana: :banana:


had a quick sneeky peek though :rolleyes1


looks excellent!!!

[CarolA]

I got both issue number 1 and 2 yesterday. They are beautiful magazines. I hope they start getting some advertiser support because I don't think the price is going to cover costs right now!

[disneychick0412]

I just got issues 1 and 2 today and WOW!!! They are so great!!
I hope this magazine continues for a long time!!

[Atchley]

Anyone received issue #3 yet. I have read the first two several times over now.:coffee:

[TSMAMI]

I was wondering the same thing! Still waiting for issue 3.

[tinknme]

I have not received it yet, anyone know when it was to be sent out?

[shmedly123]

I have not received it yet, anyone know when it was to be sent out?

Lou's show this week said that it was being printed at the time of taping. With that said I would suspect that we are talking at least another week before it starts hitting mailboxes so maybe by the end of the week (2/7 ish) if we are lucky, but more likely next week.

[kesha]

I've been reading so much about this magazine I finally ordered mine. I also ordered the 2nd and 3rd magazine but the 1st was sold out. I can hardly wait! I'm hoping my back issues will be here soon. Has anyone ever ordered the back issues?

[LJD2143]

Just received this email from Tim Foster.....

Hi everyone!

Some of you may be wondering where your copy of the third issue of Celebrations is! The good news is that it has long been printed and ready to go, and was actually mailed out last week. Unfortunately, the post office has been less than upfront with us about delivery times, much to our dismay. We have been in the process of obtaining our periodical permit (a long and tedious process I can assure you!), and were told that, with the permit in hand, the magazine should be delivered in 3-4 days. That meant everyone should have had the magazine by now, but for many of you such is not the case. After a bit more sleuthing today we discovered that the promise of a 3-4 day delivery was a bit of a fib, the actual delivery time is more like 7-14 days. Obviously a frustrating piece of information to come by, especially since we expected everyone to have their issue by now. So if you haven't received your copy of issue 3, you should expect it next week at some point. (For those of you
who are wondering, our last issue arrived in a timely manner because we sent it First Class, which was rather expensive, but we wanted to make sure it arrived before the holidays and we hadn't obtained our permit yet). And now that we (finally) have a clear understanding of the inner workings of the post office, the next issues should be arriving on a regular schedule.

As much as we were at the mercy of the post office (which is an incredibly helpless feeling), we do feel badly and greatly appreciate your patience and understanding. As a token of our gratitude we will be including a free gift for everyone with our fourth issue due out in April.

Again, thank you SO MUCH for hanging in there with us, and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me at any time at tfoster@tgfdesign.com.

Enjoy the magic!

Just received this email from Tim Foster.....



I got the same email this morning too. I was starting to wonder why a pic of issue #3 was on their site for a few weeks now, but nothing had showed up in my mailbox. I'm actually glad they sent the email because I was about to contact them through their site asking about it. At least they are on top of things. The post office leaves a lot to be desired. :sad2:

[disneyfav4ever]

Just checked my e-mail, and had the same one. Hopefully it'll come soon.

[lucas]

Got the same email.

[iluvwdw4ever]

We received ours a couple of days ago!!!!!:thumbsup2 I LOVE THIS MAGAZINE!!!!!!!!!:love:

[grumpyemt]

just got an e-mail today . magazine was shipped last week they just got their periodical permit.they said it takes 7 to 14 days and those who have not received theirs yet should get it next week.:cool1: :goodvibes

HOW CAN I SUBSCRIBE?:confused3

[KJ Luvs Pluto]

Just received the e-mail also, but no magazine so it looks like we'll get it sometime in March. Can't wait!

[erinlees_mommie]

I got issue 2 and 3 in the mailbox when I came home from my trip last week..Kinda sad..but I have them.I hope that they reprint number 1!! I am waiting on my subscription of number 4 to start.I ordered the back issues.I can't miss out :) So far I am super impressed !!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :)

[KJ Luvs Pluto]

Received 3rd edition today here in WI.
AWESOME!!:love:

No 3rd issue yet for this part of Wisconsin. Still waiting, now not so patiently. It's a little frustrating to get a Jan/Feb magazine in March. I sure hope they get that worked out. There's no other magazine where the issues arrive so late. Not that I don't like the mag. I do, that's why it's frustrating to receive it so late.

[flipflopmom]

What is celebrations magazine? Thanks!

[cdrn1]

IT CAME TODAY!!!! And what perfect timing: I have the day off tomorrow, so after I get my Dis fix I am going to settle in and read and enjoy the wonderful pictures and dream of my trip to the Poly NEXT MONTH!! :cool1:

[Disney's Fab 4]

as of today, I have still not recieved it yet... And I am dying for it...

Celebrations is a Disney Magazine, It is a very cool and very fun magazine... I believe it is written by the people that write UG.. (not positive on that though)

[cdrn1]

What is celebrations magazine? Thanks!

There is another thread with a posted link, but here's the gist: it's a new magazine about Disney World. It's not an officially sanctioned publication but Lou Mongello is behind it; he's very knowledgeable about WDW. The photos and articles in the first two issues have been very nice. Look for the other thread for more info.

[peanmunch]

no sign of mine yet:scared1: :confused3 :sad: :bored:

[MJAJmom]

Mine was delivered yesterday. I also received the email about the slow delivery problem.

[khertz]

We received it yesterday. DH got the same email about the slow delivery.

[KristiMc]

I received my copy yesterday.

[lflax]

I am still waiting for my issue. Did finally receive my 2 back issues that I ordered when I subscribed. I am really excited to get the new issue!!

[kmvand1]

Does Borders, Books A Million, etc. sell this as well? Or is it only something you can pre order? Thanks

[Disneyfanatic108]

we recieved ours 3-3-09 in Michigan.

[grumpyemt]

march 5 still have not received mine yet . hopefully it will com soon.:confused: :mad: :sad2:

[gayles]

Is there a cost? What is it about?

[bytheblood]

Yes, I recieved mine.

[Disney's Fab 4]

Is there a cost? What is it about?

It costs $29.95 for 6 issues (1 year) and it is all about WDW: resorts, trivia etc. I have only received 1 magazine and I could not be happier with it.. Even my husband who is not at all a magazine person said he loved it.


And as of today, I still have not recieved my copy... : (

But it looks like the eastern states have not received theirs yet... Hopefully soon!

[Brian_WDW74]

I've merged together a couple of Celebrations Magazine threads. :)

I love this Magazine.. I can't wait for mine to arrive.. I am in NY...and hoping for today!!!

[joe1946]

Mine just arrived today!

[DisneyDad in PA]

We haven't received our issue yet. It's a shame because I really like the magazine. But you can't count on it showing up.

[vettechick99]

I placed an order on Feb. 4th and still waiting for that first issue. Hurry up already!!

[Poppins2000]

I paid for my new subscription to Celebrations at the end of January I do believe and I am wondering when I will get my very first copy. I may have paid for it a little earlier than that. Not sure right now, but should I be concerend?

[jngwright]

I would contact them! I just got my Jan/Feb issue yesterday.

[Brian_WDW74]

I've merged another Celebrations Magazine thread into the main thread. :)

[jkid721133]

subscribing....nothing in PA so far.

[JCornell]

I just placed my order. I can't believe I stopped viewing the boards for a few months as I was planning a (non-Disney) cruise and I heard nothing about this. Guess I have to fanatically read the boards year-round or I'll miss something. :goodvibes

[korzmom]

got my third issue on tuesday..i really like this magazine i just wish it would come out on time. now that all of you have ordered the celebrations magazine is anyone thinking about the new d23 membership? i cant imagine that magazine covering more than this one, and for 75 bucks!!! i dont think i'll fall for this one. but never say nevr if i hear good feedback i'll reconsider..

[Brian_WDW74]

now that all of you have ordered the celebrations magazine is anyone thinking about the new d23 membership? i cant imagine that magazine covering more than this one, and for 75 bucks!!!

I guess it depends on what you're interested in. Celebrations is a fan-produced magazine that takes an in-depth look at Walt Disney World from a visitor's point of view. Disney twenty-three is a Disney-produced publication (it's printed on heavier paper and is more professionally bound than a magazine) that covers the entire Disney corporation, and offers interviews and behind-the-scenes information that no outsider could provide. Except for the fact that they both are packed with wonderful, high-gloss pictures, the two really aren't comparable. Personally, I enjoy them both. :)

[Sea-Donkey]

I have the 1st issue and the Christmas issue, can't seem to put my finger on the 3rd issue though I thought I saw it.
There have been just 3 so far, right?

[vettechick99]

3 months later and nothing! This is ridiculous!

[*KeepMovingForward*]

I have the 1st issue and the Christmas issue, can't seem to put my finger on the 3rd issue though I thought I saw it.

Yes. I received the 3rd issue on March 2nd. If your missing an issue, contact them through the magazine website, they are extremely quick in responding and very helpful.

[korzmom]

can someone post a pic of the d23 magazine? i'm thinking about getting that one since these celebration ones seem to take soooo long.

[barrie]

D23 is completely different and ridiculously over-priced. I honestly like Celebrations better. It is new and there are some kinks to be worked out but please give 'em a break, they don't have the resources that Disney has. I think if you hang in there you'll be really pleased with the magazine.

Personally, I dont think D23 magazine is overprived......I enjoy the size, the coffee table size, and the photos and articles are good. No ads, which is really nice. There has only been one, who knows whats in store in upcoming issues.

D23 is not for everyone. But, to those of us that are D23, its very good.

[LJD2143]

Just received No. 4 (March/April 2009)!

Each issue gets better and better. This one even came with something extra - a Small World montage poster!

[vettechick99]

I actually emailed them a few days ago about my 3-month wait and he apologized profusely, saying I would get the next issue that is coming out. So I'm not really sure of the holdup, but I'm pleased with the customer service. :)

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

What exactly does being D23 mean?

D is for Disney and 23 is for 1923, the year that the Disney brothers opened shop.

I can't believe that Celebrations is still working out the kinks months and months after the first issue. It's really too bad.

[tflood]

Just got the new issue (march/april) today.

[VA_mouseman]

I've been a subscriber since the first edition, and I'm thoroughly impressed by the content, size and overall quality of Celebrations magazine.

Fortunately, I didn't experience any of the issues that others have. I probably had a slow delivery of an edition or two, but they have all arrived in good shape.

Tim Foster and Lou Mongello have done a bangup job with this new venture. I'd love to see it go to monthly, instead of bimonthly, if they have the resources.

[bytheblood]

I am still very pleased with my magazines. :)

[Sea-Donkey]

I've been impressed with the magazine and the customer service. The featured attraction and featured resort each month is great.

[*KeepMovingForward*]

Is there anyone else that didn't get the 4th issue yet? I haven't received mine and I checked their site and it says that issue was due out in late April...wondering what happened.

[LJD2143]

Just received issue No.6 (July/August).:banana:

You panicked me! I read that quickly and thought that it meant issue #6 was the last ... ever!

Yep, I've already renewed.

And if I may add, issue #6 features my first article for Celebrations -- Dining on the High Seas.

Is there a renewal card in issue#6? I had expected one in #5 but it wasn't there. I'm eagerly awaiting #6 and don't want to miss renewing. If there isn't a renewal card in there I'll have to contact them in another way and would like to do it sooner rather than later. Thanks for any info.

Mine just came today. There wasn't a renewal "card", just a reminder that it's the last issue in the subscription and a note to go to their website to re-up. I've already done so ... they sent out emails a couple of weeks ago, IIRC.

[KJ Luvs Pluto]

Thanks for that info. I'll look forward to renewing also via the web then.

Issue 6 is the best issue to date IMO. Adventureland article, Jungle Cruise is featured attraction, article on the history of Discovery Island all the way back to a family living on it in the 1920's, and a write up about the originally planned resorts that never happened.
I renewed via paypal using the renew code to insure we don't miss an issue. :thumbsup2

We just got home from our trip today and my newest issue was home waiting for me. Maybe that'll help with the post-Disney blues.

I got the notice about it being the last issue and to renew my subscription. I did that when I got the last one. Does anyone know if I can double-check on that? I don't want to renew twice!

Does anyone know if the October issue will cover Christmas? We will be in DW for the MVMCP.

Also, has anyone been able to find Celebrations in a store? :confused3 I checked various newsstands and Borders, but they don't carry it. I would just prefer to buy the magazines individually rather than the subscription.

The Sept/Oct issue won't cover Christmas .... that presumably would be the Nov/Dec issue (at least based on last year's issue).

To the best of my understanding, Celebrations is only available via subscription, or orders to single issues, directly from the website (http://www.celebrationspress.com/). Buy a single issue and I bet you'll be impressed enough to subscribe.

I second that. It's a pretty awesome magazine. It's easily the finest hobbyist magazine I've ever encountered.

[Sea-Donkey]

I got the Nov/Dec issue 3 or 4 days ago. Another great issue. I hope this magazine is around for a while to come. Subscribe if you haven't.:thumbsup2

Reviving this thread---is everybody still happy with this magazine? Has the quality remained the same? About how many pages are in the average issue?

[KJ Luvs Pluto]

I've been getting this magazine since the first issue and the quality is better than ever. I can't tell you how many pages are in it since I'm not at home but it's a pretty good size magazine with a lot of different articles and beautiful pictures. It's a bit pricey but I really have enjoyed it and will probably continue to subscribe.

Thanks KJ--that's just the kind of info I am looking for. I was kind of worried about the price but I may give it a try.

I've subscribed since first issue and have been very happy with it. Most recent issue has 85 pages--high quality thick paper/pages.

[korzmom]

i think the quality remains the same and the pictures are undoubtably the most beautiful pictures around,but there is alot of redundancy.IMHO. i will probably continue buying it just because i love disney and love reading about it and its really the only magazine they have. i miss the old disney magazine though.

[Jaaron2]

We have been EXTREMELY happy with the quality and content of the magazine. Just "re-upped" about a month ago.

[korzmom]

the last issue has 84 pages.

[karen l]

Love this magazine - great pictures and articles.

Is this magazine still being published?

[athenna]

Yes, it sure is

[VA_mouseman]

I'll be upfront and admit my self-interest in Celebrations (I write for it), but I believe that the magazine is an incredible bargain. 80+ pages in each issue on heavy stock; excellent articles and columns and terrific photographers contribute to each issue. Any Disney fan (and being on these boards puts you into that club) would love this magazine.

I know the publishers and they are telling us that Celebrations has big plans for 2012, so we'll wait and see.

I agree with VA_mouseman. It IS a fantastic value. Read it from cover to cover, great stories, and the photos are gorgeous.

Has anyone else had issues with the magazine lately? My subscription expired and I renewed it after missing two issues (I moved, and had a lot going on). That was in November, and I still haven't received anything. I've emailed 3 times and gotten no reply, and even called and talked to Tim, who couldn't tell me why nothing had been sent, and assured me he was putting the 2 issues that weren't sent in the mail and I would start receiving the magazine regularly. That was 3 weeks ago, still nothing... I know Tim and Lou are great guys, but what should I do here? :confused3

(Just an FYI, they do have the new address since it was paid with PayPal, and Tim confirmed it on the phone. Plus, my mail has been forwarded.)

[skifast22]

have people received the March/April Issue yet? still waiting for mine, thinking about contacting the magazine folks as it seems i should have received it by now

[Patabel]

Was wondering, as well. Haven't receiveds it either. :confused3

[DisneyDad in PA]

I received mine. I can't remember how long ago but I think it has been at least 3 weeks.

[Boo Bear]

Wow I'm so excited this thread is still around and I'm shocked that I started it :laughing: I honestly forgot posting this. I just renewed my subscription and I absolutely LOVE this magazine! It's what keeps the WDW cravings at bay while I wait until I can go again.

I agree! It is such a great price for the quality. I consider each magazine to be a collectors item.
