Anyone in the Disney Movie Club?

My Husband and I are big Disney fans, more of the classic Disney movies, i.e. Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, The Jungle Book and so on. I've heard of the Disney Movie Club and I've visited the site but I'm not sure how it works... I know there has to be a catch! We don't have kids yet, but I'd like to start building a collection of the DVD's so when we do have children they can grow up on Disney like we did!





Thanks in advance for your help!|||I'm a member.





Basically when you sign up you get 4 movies at $1.99 each, and free shipping. That's their bait to pull you in and get you to sign. Then once you sign up, you are obligated to, within a 2-year period, order at least 5 movies at regular price (which means $19.95 or more). Then after you order your 5 movies, you are considered a VIP and get special deals. If you choose to cancel your membership before you've ordered your 5 movies at regular price, they will cancel your membership but then charge you for the remainder of the movies you haven't purchased (without sending you an actual movie for it).





The annoying thing is, every month (ish) they have a new "special" or whatever they call it. And you have to remember every month to go onto their site and decline it if you don't want the offer (usually it's like a 50th anniversary double pack extra features type thing that costs around $40 or so). If you forget to sign on and decline it every month, they will send it to you and charge you for it.





They will send you a mailing in the mail every month (their ads and stuff), and there is no way that you can opt out of receiving those.





Also, lots of the old classics (like Beauty and the Beast) are inaccessible from the site. They bring each one back periodically and advertise them like crazy for a few months, then put them back "in the vault" and if you want them then, you have to get them from somewhere else. Not sure why they don't keep them out all the time, because I think they'd make more money, but whatever.





Movies that are in less demand are usually a lot cheaper (for example, The Goofy Movie was around $5 last time I looked).





I just became a VIP a few days ago. Periodically they give VIP's special offers (Buy One Get One Free, or buy one at regular price and get free shipping, or something).|||I love Disney also and have collected them all on VHS over the years. If you don't want the hassle of having to remember to opt out of buying the stuff on the DMC I reccomend buying second hand copies because then you don't have to wait for Disney to release the films you want ie The Lion King, The Little Mermaid out of their vault and you get them cheaper as well.
