When you finish your commitment do you have to keep getting the 4-week mailings and opt of of them, or can you 'quit' the club once you buy all 4 DVD's at full price?

I'm pretty sure I can justify the 4-DVD commitment since at $80+shipping (and $3.99 shipping is nothing to Hawaii) considering we'll be getting 9 movies for that price, but the having to opt out of every 'featured item' for two years is daunting. I figure we'll fulfill our commitment in 6 mos to a year, and I'd like to just quit after that since we have a dozen Disney movies already, probably want about a dozen more, and then won't buy for awhile (it took me 10 years to build this collection I already have bc we don't watch television or movies very much - just spend lots of time on the comp, and a little on the Xbox, and a lot of time on books). It will probably take us about a year to watch all the movies we buy if we join. DS4 only gets one movie per week, if not every other week, we're just too busy to sit in front of the tv.

I haven't finished my comittment, but I usually just repsond online. It seems like I receive an email with the featured dvd before I receive the catalog in the mail.

after reading this, it seems that the bluray club is not a very good deal. I am able to get bluray's for under $20 every time through amazon or target (with the $10 off coupon).

I have been a member for quite a few years now and i think it is fairly decent.
It is great if you are a member of the disneymovierewards.com website since all the ones from the club should have a code and you can refer friends to get a few free movies.

If anyone is looking to join use this code of mine: 3427d
It will get you 5 movies for $1 and if you get another one at a discounted price it also comes with free shipping and then you only need 3 more over 2 years.

I think now they are getting better with new releases and their prices.

I like it. Our family get movies from it all the time!

How long does it generally take for new movies to hit DMC?

First time I've heard of Disney Movie Club! Sounds awesome!

My boyfriend and I joined DMC a few months ago and we love it. Never had any problems with it, just be sure to respond to the featured title. If you want it, do nothing, and if you don't all you have to do is decline on the website. Simple.

There's a large selection of movies, including more mature films of Buena Vista Pictures Distribution (ie: Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts). Lots of discounts too so we really like it. Especially nice if you're into collecting Disney movies.

You can pre-order new Disney films with DMC and from my experience they often come as the featured title. We have Peter Pan on the way, along with Wreck it Ralph which will be out soon!

(If you're not familiar, featured titles are released a few time each month. If you want the movie you don't have to do anything, and if you don't want it all you need to do is press one button, "decline.")

When they ship the movies, who do they ship through?

I just tried signing up, putting my street address in the first line and my PO box in the second, just in case, but I cannot have a PO box listed at all. We live in town and our mail HAS to go through USPS unless it's delivered via FedEx, UPS, etc.

Ours come USPS. We've been members for years and we love it. They take care of us every time we have a problem. Like one time I couldn't access my account online for about a week so I called, the lady helped me, apologized and said I'd be able to access the site within 48 hours, which I was. Two weeks later I get something in the mail stating they were sorry for my inconvenience and to pick one of five movies they listed on the card and I'd get it free. So that's how I got The Incredibles.

I'm a member, but I'm saving up points for something good like the studio tour.

I'm a member, and I LOVE it. I just got Peter Pan in the mail today. :-) They really do offer a lot of good deals on movies. I was even able to score the first season set for Golden Girls for 9.99. I recommend it to anyone who is a Disney fan.

Thanks. I ended up signing up pre-ordered monsters inc. and got it the same day it hit stores. Plan to do the same with Wreck it Ralph and be done with my obligations. Is it worth it being a VIP or better to cancel and do it again with all the cheap movies. I came out with nine combo packs for around $90.

If you are going to remain a member of the movie club then definitely stay as a VIP and don't start over! As a VIP you (apparently) receive more discounts than a regular member, plus, you no longer need to worry about fulfilling your commitment. My boyfriend and I are only one or two movie purchases away from completing our commitment and becoming VIP
