Disney Files Magazine

[DVC SSR Owner]

We became members via resale in July and had never gotten this magazine. When does it come out? Who do I contact to get it?

Thanks

I comes out quarterly, at best, and the mailing dates seem to be staggered some among the many DVCers. Honestly, there isn't a lot of info in the magazine. They will showcase new resorts, and talk about some non-DVC resort trips on points.

Overall, it is worth a glance, but there is not a lot of real DVC news in the publication.

I guess you probably missed one issue, so far, and it could be that they simply have not sent a new address list to the publishing house...they likely do that quarterly as well.

The past issues can be downloaded as PDFs from the members website. Though it usually takes quiet a while for them to put the current issue up.

I thought that they were on the member website but now I can't find them. Any hints of where to look?

We bought a year ago, and I've never gotten it either.

Only recently I was looking at some old issues on the members website, but now I can't find them no more either. It seems they removed them.

However, I downloaded all the back issues, if you are interested in a particular one, I could mail it to you (or if it's too big, make it available for download somewhere).

Just send me a PM with your e-mail address.

I just got my Winter 2010 issue today, it's got Tangled on the cover.

 

[DVC SSR Owner]

Yep. I got mine yesterday. Turns out I wasn't missing much!

 

[Friendofpluto]

Ditto. Not any real news in this issue.

There wasn't any news in the issue, but I enjoyed the articles.
I don't see how a printed magazine can really have news anymore what with all the online news things taking any of that thunder away. The best they can do is have interesting articles about behind the scenes stuff.

They could have put okw renovation pics in or construction photos of alauni or paddock pool. Actual THV pics. Sales stats. Etc. January 2011 rumors?

Honestly,

I'm not a fan of the magazine. If the cost of production, payroll that is spent on this product could be spent on us, rather than this. I'd much rather have reduced dues.

 

[DVC SSR Owner]

I agree. Lower the dues and file Disney files in the trash!

 

[Deb & Bill]

The newest Disney Files has 32 pages. There are six pages of DVC news (not including the photos people send it - used to be one page, now they have two or three of them - FILLER). One of the six is Jim Lewis' message which is so much baloney. All the rest is generic Disney information. I hope dues don't pay for this. Vacation Magic was all DVC all the time.

SHOW ME THE MONEY

I look forward to Disney files as a connection to "home" but it is so disappointing. I don't even get excited when they arrive in the mail anymore.

 

[KevGuy]

What does it say about welcome home wednesdays?? I heard that the day is changing, what is the new one??

 

[wcpamotm]

Hmmm... maybe the direct sales vs resale difference they might implement could be to send Disney Files only to those who purchase direct!
