I've been looking at that and considering ordering it but it looks like Disney's ploy to make you spend money to spend more money. Can I ask, what made you join? Have you heard if they are going to offer members any perks?? If they do then I might have to join but I don't think I will if there isn't anything else to it other than the free gift and magazine.
Oh and let us know what the free gift is when you get it. I'm curious!!
I am hopeful that they will build in perks to existing events such as holidays and such ....like Halloween I'm willing to roll the dice and see what they do with the concept. If it doesn't pan out over the first year I'll just not renew it.
Here is the blurb saying exactly what you get. We won't be able to take advantage of the expo this year, but it is something we can work into future trips:
