A couple of years ago I joined<\/a> the Disney Movie Club and was able to get 9 Disney Blu-ray movies for about $90, so $10 each on average. The next time<\/a> I enrolled I got a little smarter and got 9 movies for $80 (about $9 each on average) by pre-ordering new releases for my two commitment titles while the prices were marked down from $29.99 to $24.99 temporarily, saving $10 total. Now they have loosened up the rules a little more and will count titles priced as low as $19.95 as a commitment. However, they don’t have many titles for that price, mostly older titles, often older editions that don’t include a digital copy of the movie.<\/p>\n

After my third enrollment, I started to run out of movies I wanted to own, but Disney is also making new movies and releasing new editions of old ones, so I just have to be patient. After my third enrollment I stayed a member for a year until Disney released two new titles I wanted as commitments to complete my obligation. During that time I was lucky someone used my Refer a Friend<\/a> link and I got two additional movies for the cost of shipping only. So that time around I got 11 movies for $85. Plus all of these movies come with Disney Movie Reward points that you can save up and get an older Blu-ray title. I have gotten 9 more movies for free using those points, most of which come from the movies I am getting at the club (also other movies, movie tickets, and little bonuses Disney gives away).
\n<\/p>\n

Today I finished up the commitments on my fourth enrollment. This month they were offering free shipping with any regular price title. Shipping for one movie is $3.95, so shipping is a chunk. I wound up choosing The Fox and the Hound<\/em> as one of my two commitments. It isn’t that highly ranked<\/a> in the Disney canon, but I have never seen it and some people like it. Plus it includes a sequel for free and each of the movies should come with a digital copy and 150 Disney Movie Reward points each, twice as much as most movies. Plus the movie was only $21.95 shipped. Usually when I get a commitment I pay $24.99 plus $3.95 shipping, so $28.94. This movie is $7 less. And when I am paying on average only $9 per movie, that’s like getting this movie for only $2 (or like lowering the average cost of all of the movies). <\/p>\n

I really couldn’t think of anything else to get, but that was such a good deal that I kept thinking about it. I was a little disappointed with most of the new movies by Disney this year including A Wrinkle in Time<\/em> (B+<\/a>), Solo<\/em> (B+<\/a>), The Incredibles 2<\/em> (B<\/a>), and Avengers: Infinity War<\/em> (B<\/a>), so I probably won’t buy those. The old re-released titles this year included Lady and the Tramp<\/em> which I got in my 4th enrollment and Peter Pan<\/em> which maybe is one I could skip (and did skip, this past week its price went back up to $29.99, but I could get it in a future enrollment). I was hoping they would re-release a third movie from the vault and it could possibly be Cinderella<\/em> which I also have not seen, but ranks very high. Last year it was already known at this time of year that Lion King<\/em> was coming out, so maybe they won’t do a third title.<\/p>\n

Somehow I thought about getting Who Framed Roger Rabbit<\/em>, which I remember liking and it still has a lot of fans. Researching it, the only version the club has is the 25th anniversary edition which came out in 2013 and includes Blu-ray and DVD, but no digital copy. However it is also priced at only $19.95. That is $9 less than the usual $28.94 price and at $9 less than the average price of $9, it is like getting the movie for free! I held off getting it hoping maybe I would think of something better, but then decided I may as well go ahead and get it. Then if new re-releases come out I can make those part of a fifth enrollment. However if I don’t get this year’s titles (I didn’t even see Ant-Man and the Wasp<\/em> and probably won’t see the upcoming Wreck-It Ralph 2<\/em>, so I sure won’t buy them) then it could be a while before the next enrollment. I am thinking that within the next year not only Cinderella<\/em> but also Sleeping Beauty<\/em> will be released and I would get both of those due to their high rankings. And I would also like to get Black Panther<\/em>, but I need six titles for an enrollment. So, again, patience is required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
