[huey578]

After ordering twice and not receiving, I decided to email guest services. Here is their response:



Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World® Resort.

I was disappointed when I discovered this. I liked to watch them while I was on the treadmill watching tv.

That is disappointing. I tried to order one a few months ago for my granddaughter. She is only four and preparing for her first trip.

I wonder why the link is still available online to order a dvd if they no longer are distributing them...

 

[Jennasis]

While disappointing, I kind of agree with doing away with the DVD's. Having the videos available online makes it easier for them to be able to change/update them when needed.

Get a Fire TV stick and run the Youtube app.

We can access YouTube through our bluray player. Or I use my iPad to watch YouTube while on the treadmill. Either of those an option for you?

Yeah, while the DVDs are fun, this is a cost cutting move that makes sense.

The world needs less plastic. The Internet will provide. My rant is over. Carry on.

 

[SimonSez]

Well no wonder I never got mine! I kept forgetting I ordered one so I never followed up

 

[siskaren]

I don't know about the Disney World one, but the Disneyland one is out of date even though it was just uploaded in March - it talks about the Diamond Celebration, which ended in September.

What's a DVD?

 

[DisneyMom2000000]

We love the DVDs. We prepared our small children for BIG (and friendly!) characters by watching them over and over again!

 

[FigmentFinder]

What's a DVD?

It's like a VHS tape, but better!

 

[Skywise]

It's like a VHS tape, but better!

Ohhh...like Beta then!

 

[MickeyWaffles]

While these were always fun, they're not a necessity. This is one cost cutting measure I fully support! A no brainer.

 

[bumbershoot]

I'm guessing no one here had the 2005-ish planning DVD that was so awesome. Sigh. Miss that one.

 

[Minnesota!]

I have to go with Disney on this one.

Is that one that featured Erin and Dave? I can't recall the name of the other 2 people featured.

Sad but very understandable

Must save a lot on shipping.
