I thought it was just my imagination but I thought it was better quality too. Usually I pick it up, quickly flip through pages and toss. This time I found myself actually looking at it.
We recently bought our DVC, i.e. closed and in the system in early December. We didn't get the Disney Files magazine. My question is if it is worth it to contact MS and see if we can get one. Maybe they could even have one for us at check-in when we come down in a week or so...
You can find all past issues of the Disney Files on the DVC Members website. It's under "News".
It takes a while for the current issue to be put up, the one from Winter 2011 is not available yet in the archive, but it should show up eventually. In the meantime, you could read the older ones.
