While I was cleaning out my desk at home I discovered an old Disney Club card from back in 2002. I remember getting the card and a magazine I think every quarter. Does anyone know why they stopped the Disney Club?

I'm not sure if this was part of Disney Adventures magazine, but the publication was cancelled last year. They've since switched all subscriptions, etc. over to Family Fun Magazine

I gave a subsciption of Disney Adventures magazine to my daughter. Even paid accouple years in advance. Next thing I know it's canceled. Instead of a refund, they bagain sending me The Boys Club. I e-mailed them. tell'n them I wanted my money back, that I didn't authorized this change to my account. I recieved a reply. After the next issue is released, I would get a refund for the remaining amount. NOT FAIR. Why do I have to pay for the copies that I never ordered. Same thing happened when the Disney Magazine went under. I paid for accouple of years in advance, and the same story as above.

The Magic Kingdom Club, bbowen13?

Now all they have is the Disney Vacation Club. It's some silly timeshare....

i am sad to hear about this i wish that disney takes it back like the disney stores, i hope we all can get a subscription to the magazine and actually have fun again even though it may be not important for some.

I loved these magazines. I looked forward to getting my issues.
I would put the Disney Magazine on the EXF machine at the gym and read it. It was a great conversation starter. People who had never gone, and were going, would asked me questions. People who had would smile, stop and talk.

I don't think so, but reading about the Magic Kingdom Club sounds very close to the Disney Club. Just looking at the card it doesn't say anything about the Magic Kingdom.

I, too, used to look forward to the magazines when they came. All I can say is I know my kids would love them now...

My family had that. I remember that used to get you a discount at some Disney places like the World of Disney. I think that was discontinued in 2000. It was replaced by the Disney Club.

Disney Club replaced Magic Kingdom Club. As far as I understood (I was told when I asked why I couldn't renew my DC membership), Disney Club ended when the Disney Visa was introduced because they wanted people to sign up for that instead. I remember that 'cause I asked what I was supposed to do in Candaa, since there was no bank affiliate for the Disney Visa there (and as far as I know there still isn't) and they said they were 'working on that'.

Oh ok - we only had our MKC cards like casrin mentioned.

I understand why they got rid of the card but the magazine was always something to look forward to. I wish they still make that. However I do get the Disney Insider by email so I guess that fills some of the void.
