Disney Magazine delivery question?

[JonJehrio]

Is it normal that my magazine shows up weeks after it hit's the shelves? Is it common for someone at the Post Office to "hold" it for a few days before they deliver it?

Disney Magazine is no longer. I think the last spring issue was the last magazine.

There is one more issue to come and then it will be done. The magazine has folded. There is to be an issue on the 50th celebration.

That is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. It used to be that when you subscribed to a magazine you got it ahead of the newstand, now it can take up to two weeks after for it to show up. Drives me nuts!

I called Disney Magazine yesterday and a real nice lady told me that the Summer issue is ready to be sent soon. YEAH!

I asked her about this being the last publication and she said that they had still not received official word that the magazine is through.

I asked her if those who decide if the magazine stays or goes can get a message and she took mine down to keep the magazine. I hope it stays. I really love my Disney Magazine!

What was the last issue to be sent? I got the last one with the Incredibles' article and nothing lately. Yesterday I was in the Disney Store and there was a Disney magazine marked down to $2.50 (had a picture of Mickey on the cover in front of the Castle) and had articles about the restaurants on one of the Disney ships, an article about a haunted tour at Disney Land with a tour guide Gracey/Gracie, etc. so I bought it thinking it was a special edition. Did I just go and waste $2.50 on an edition I will already be getting (eventually)? Also, I heard they will be offering refunds or asking if you want to switch to another Disney publication though I've not heard about that yet (nor how many editions are in a yearly subscription to the other magazine).

The magazine you purchased was the last one sent out (SPring 2005). No, you did not waste your money. I believe the subscription is about $20 and you get 4 issues, making the magazines about $5 a piece. So actually you got it for half off!

The rumor is that if they do close the magazine, then those of us who already have subscriptions will be able to get a refund or switch to another Disney publication.

I was wondering because I also saw the Spring issue in the store, and have not yet received it.
