Ok so I was looking through old Disney brochures last nite like early 90's and it never occured to me how much they have changed... I guess:eek: I never really paid attention (my bad).But my question is whn did they exactly change? I don't remember... I do like the old stlye better though with the date and just the outline of the castle, spaceship earth Etc. My guess to why they don't have the date on them anymore because of the cost .....Anyone feel free to fill me in...But then again I love nostalgia!

Don't know when they changed them over. Guess I never really paid attention either. But I think your right with the cost cutting. It was probably a lot easier to leave them off and just reuse them.

I think it was a gradual change. Nothing dramatic, just slowly evolving styles. Regarding no more dates, money may have something to do with it. I believe they dropped it before everyone started going green, otherwise they would point to that as the reason. But it does greatly reduce the amount of trashed brochures when the dates changed. Its must more cost effective/better for the trees to just print the 1 piece insert instead of the whole glossy color map each week and toss a few cases of those at the end. Yes they may recycle em, but it's better to never use the extra paper in the first place.

I just went over some of the old one and I always thought I liked the older style ones but I really don't. The new styles are just so much smoother.
