After the first time I signed up for the Disney Movie Club in 2016, I kept finishing my commitments and re-enrolling in the club. I enrolled a total of six times and built up a huge library of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars movies, mostly blu-rays. It was never a good deal for 4k movies. In total I got 77 titles for $546, an average of just over $7 each. Included in that total is the help I got from 9 people who signed up using my refer a friend code, giving me 2 free movies each time for which I only had to pay shipping, if that. Last October or so they got rid of the promotion codes that gave you the best deal and I cancelled membership number 6 after not ordering anything for almost two years. I was waiting to get enough titles that I wanted for a new enrollment of six movies, but I had most everything I needed and would try to get 4k copies of newer releases at Best Buy or Target when they went on sale instead of blu-rays through DMC. Today they announced the end of the club after 23 years (a big number for Disney). Existing members will have until May to get orders in and new memberships are no longer allowed.
It was also revealed that day that Disney would turn over production, marketing, and distribution of DVD’s and blu-rays to Sony while Disney would focus on digital purchases and streaming. It will be interesting to see how that plays out, but doubtful it will be anything that positive as the popularity of physical media continues to wane.
