Wifey Wednesday: Disney Movie Club- Deal or No Deal?

Hello fellow and future wives!

Okay, so basically anyone who uses the internet and is reading this blog has heard of the Disney Movie Club. I probably see five ads for it per week online. And I've always wondered the following things: 1) Is this legit? If yes then: 2) Is this a deal? If yes then: 3) Is it worth it? So after receiving some birthday money, I decided to try it; and here is what I did and what my outcome was.

1) Pay attention to the first deal on your first order.
Some of the "attention grabbing" deals they post, aren't the best deal. Look for something better, it's probably out there. For example most of the time you see "4 Disney Blu-rays or DVDs for $1 each". But I was able to find a deal for 5 Disney Blu-rays for $1 total AND a free kid's Olaf blanket. Better deal up front, better deal over all.
#1: Ratatouille Blu-ray + DVD $0.20
#2: Fox & the Hound 1+2 Blu-ray +DVD $0.20
#3: Pocahontas 1+2 Blu-ray + DVD $0.20
#4: Pollyanna 55th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray $0.20
#5: Swiss Family Robinson Blu-Ray $0.20
Total for this order: see below, #6 & #7 on this order

2) Order the second two discounted movies, it's worth it.
On my initial order they offered a second deal, movie #6 for $14.95 and movie #7 for $9.95. If you do this, you are ultimately saving money. Especially since the movie #6 counts as 1/4 of your "full price" fulfillment movies.
#6: Return of Jafar & King of Thieves Blu-ray+DVD+ Digital Copy $14.95 *FULFILLMENT MOVIE
#7: Up Blu-ray + DVD $9.95
Total for this order: $21.90 (free shipping)

3) You have to pay full price for 4 movies in 2 years, look for deals when you buy those movies
You are going to have to plan to pay $29.95 each for 4 Blu-rays or $24.95 each for 4 DVDs. So when you buy these movies, find a "deal" at that time and order extra movies at a discounted price. See what I did below:
#8: Finding Dory Pre-Order Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital Copy $24.95 *FULFILLMENT MOVIE
#9: Alice and Wonderland Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital Copy $14.97
#10: Mary Poppins Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy $11.97
Total for this order: $58.86 (Shipping $6.93 included in total)

#11: Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Christmas Pre-Order Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital Copy $22.95 *FULFILLMENT MOVIE
#12: Rescue Rangers Volume 1 $4.95
#13: Bolt Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD $12.48
#14: Zootopia Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD $29.95*FULFILLMENT MOVIE
Total for this order: $73.82 ($8.42 shipping included in total)

4) Remember to cancel your monthly featured title

Unless you want it, remember to log onto your account and cancel your featured title. You can do this online or they will also mail you a card to send back, online is way easier. So far I haven't missed on or been wrongly charged.

5) Sign up for Disney Movie Rewards

You know those little inserts in the front of movies that have a code? Sign up for DMR and use them! With my 14 movies I got two more free from DMR! They have other cool rewards too!

#15: The Lone Ranger Blu-Ray+DVD- Free

#16: Tarzan Blu-Ray+DVD+Digital HD- Free

So overall, I ordered 14 movies, 4 of them being my "full price" fulfillment movies, and got two for free from DMR. The total I paid, was $154.58. Total value if you bought these on Amazon: $260.78. In the end I ended up saving about: $106.20. Yeah, as a Disney obsessed person, I would say this is 100% worth it.There are movies that you can get in no other place yet like Return of Jafar/Aladdin and the King of Theives, or Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Christmas. Like I said, you have to be a big Disney freak for this to be worth it. And if you don't already own a ton of Disney movies, like I do, then it is even more worth it because you can get tons of good deals on them and have first access to originals when they come out of the vault. Also, you can stay a member after you complete your fulfillment movies so you can keep getting discounts, you just have to remember to cancel your monthly title. So what do you think? Have an extra $150? Are you a big Disney fan? Think about it, it is SO worth it.
