Celebrations Magazine

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Since your post was on the 6th...I guess we all should be watching our mailboxes for its arrival any day now. I hope something comes before Halloween. I need a Disney fix!

Yes I've been hoping any day now! Someone on another thread said they received an e-mail on Mon or Tues saying it would be in the next week so I'm hoping by Monday it will be here!! It better be good! (I know it will be)

It better be good! (I know it will be)

I'm sure it will be good...but waiting is so tough!

I'll believe it when I see it. I'm glad I didn't subscribe yet. When/if you guys actually get your copies, you'll have to let us know how it is. Personally, I think the price is a little high for a subscription of 6 issues.

Just finished listening to Lou's podcast for this week and he said the magazine is OFF THE PRESSES and ON THE WAY TO US!!!
The celebrations press website also says "now available."
Hopefully it will be in the mail by tomorrow!!

Good news. I'll be checking the mail every day.

Yeah, I just subcribed a couple of weeks ago. I needed some new reading material for the bathr.... umm I mean library.

Still haven't seen the 1st issue...

 

[Sea-Donkey]

They've added the 1st issue to the website...you can buy it as a back order, so maybe the 1st issues have mailed?

Still waiting...........

I would venture to guess that if we all filed an "Item Not Received" claim w/PayPal LOL.......................

 

[WilsonFlyer]

What the heck. I'll jump in too. Not the first $25 I've ever thrown away for Disney if it doesn't come.

 

[mickeysgirl17]

Still patiently waiting here too. Checking the mail every day.....

I just tried to file a paypal claim and was past the 45 day mark. I think we've all been scammed...I don't know who originally posted this or where they found it. I'm calling paypal tomorrow...I hate being scammed, just the principal of the thing, especially as much as paypal (which is a scam itself) has made off me selling Ebay stuff over the years.

You think so? Urrrggg...... Hey, do they have a phone number we can call? Is there any way to look up the company to see if it is reputable? I can try but I def welcome someone else incase I don't have any luck!

 

[mickeysgirl17]

I don't think we've been scammed. Lou Mongello talks about this magazine and his reputation speaks for itself. I don't think its a scam at all. It's just probably taking them a little while to get started since its a brand new magazine and this will be the first issue.

The website is still working and people who have sent an email are getting responses. That's a good sign. Just give it a few more days.

 

[Sea-Donkey]

Maybe, but considering we all paid with Paypal (which has an email on each account), you'd think they'd send out a mass email explaining the delay. I hope it wall works out.

Since this isn't really about trip planning, we're moving all discussions on this magazine over to the theme parks community board.

I just got this email...wanted to post it all for you.

Hi Valerie!
Yeah, I just got an email from someone alerting me to what was going on on the DISBoards (which you've probably guessed I don't visit very much, particularly lately since I've been so busy with the magazine!).
Obviously it upsets me greatly that Lou and I have inadvertently caused a bit of angst (I guess that's an understatement!). If you're on the boards PLEASE PLEASE reassure everybody that the first issue really and truly is on its way (it's all up to the post office now so we'll see how speedy they are). The delay from our first promise date was due to a number of factors, not the least of which was my eternal optimism!! We also wanted to be REALLY sure that we made the first issue as good as it could be, and Disney actually had some last minute news that we wanted to be sure got in the magazine.
We're already hard at work on the second issue which will be out in early December, and we're burning the midnight oil to get ourselves back on our original schedule. I sincerely hope that everyone who knows Lou and I (well, more people probably know Lou) would know that we are both very passionate about sharing the magic of Disney with everyone (that's why we do this) and we would never ever ever do anything that we felt would upset anyone!
Also, if you could, let everyone know that if they email me I will always answer back, if it seems I didn't get back to them then that's a mistake on my part (perhaps I inadvertently deleted an email or something!)...just try me again!
Just remember that this is all about sharing the magic...and I do hope everyone is happy with the magazine, once they receive it of course!

Take care, and again I deeply apologize for any distress I might have caused you!!!
Tim

I understand that, but how hard it is to send out an email to those that paid already? I mean, they have the addresses...
