Celebrations Magazine

[Boo Bear]

I have been wondering this for awhile... I was wondering if Disney offers a magazine publication for adults?

There is a parenting magazine by Disney called Wonder. I really enjoy it, but I am not sure that is what you really meant.

it's wondertime.. they also publish family fun, both are parenting magazines

There used to be a wonderful Disney magazine for adults, came out four times a year, and had fastastic backstage stories, articles about imagineers and imagineering of attractions, Disney trivia, and so much more. Unfortunately it is now defunct for at least four years, and sorely missed at our house.

You do get some similar info in the Mickey Monitor (annual passholder publication) and in the DVC newsletters, but the articles aren't as in-depth, and really a shadow of the Disney Magazine.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "for adults." There is Orlando Attractions Magazine, started by Ricky Brigante of the Inside the Magic podcast. As you might expect, it covers attractions in the Orlando area, including lots of Disney coverage. It is pretty specifically about attractions as opposed to Disney in general. Lou Mongello, of the WDW Radio Show podcast and author of two Walt Disney World Trivia books, is just about to start his own magazine called Celebrations. It will be Disney specific, with an emphasis on the parks, but is supposed to cover Disney in a broader sense as well. This one is taking subscriptions now (at a reduced rate for the time being) and they expect to publish the first issue in September.

So, those are the ones I know. They aren't by Disney, but they are about it, to one degree or another. I'm tempted by the first, but I definitely plan to subscribe to the second. And I have no connection to anyone producing either magazine, beyond the fact that I listen to both podcasts.

I listen to both podcasts, too. They are excellent! I don't have the magazines, but am thinking about subscribing to both!

I loved the Disney Magazine and kept every issue. The pictures and stories were great!!! I wish they'd bring it back exactly the way it was!!!!

 

[FireDancer]

I have already subscribed to Celebrations magazine. The people involved are very active in the Disney internet community and I am looking forward to the magazine to get me through between trips.

 

[jfap]

I just subscribed to the new Celebrations magazine. Thanks for the link and looking forward to the first issue!

I have the Disney Attractions magazines. It is okay and sort of fills the void, but the issues are very small and of course not Disneycentric. I'll have to check out the Celebrations magazine!

 

[dudelydude]

Sounds cool. I'm subscribing.

 

[disneydreamgirl]

I will also be subscribing!!! Thanks for the tip!!

 

[Boo Bear]

We get the Tales from the Laughing Place magazine. Not many issues per year and expensive, but the photos are really neat and there are interesting behind the scenes articles.
