Disney Club Card?

[Lindy]

We are trying to decide if the Disney Club Card is worth the $40.

We are going in Nov and will be buying a 5 day hopper for 6 people.

What are your suggestions and experiences? Is it worth it or not?

I have found the card to be well worth the price. Not only can you use it in the parks for things like tickets and lodging, you can use it on purchases at Disney Store, as well as catalog and online at the Disney Store website. You generally get 10% off your purchase, including sale items.

Ooooh...my mom just became a Disney Club card holder last month - I'll have to tell her that.

Right now there is a promotion where you can get 20% off your purchase at The Disney Store with your DC card. It runs until Sept. 29. My mother in law got an Atlantis playset for her grandson that was 75% off, then she got the 20% off on top of that. It was originally $20.00, and she got it for $4.00! There are apparently some restrictions, but I don't know what they are. Also, you can't use the 20% for catalog or online, but you still get your regular 10%.

One restriction is that you only get 10% on pre-orders like videos and dvd's.

Our Disney Stores do not allow the regular 10% on sale merchandise. And the special 20% is with a postal card and Disney Credit Card. Also says not valid in combination with any other offer or discount.

At our Disney Store I always get the 10% even on sale items. I also like the fact that the subscription to the Disney Magazine is included in the membership. I collect them. I have magazines that go as far back as 1995. Interesting to look through some of the old ones to see the changes.

I, too, have always gotten the 10%on sale items. I just used the card at two different Disney stores in the Philadelphia and got the 20% just by showing the card with no questions asked.

I shop in three different malls in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, VA. If I get something on sale, they do not honor the card's extra 10%. I did get the 20% with the postcard I received plus charging it on my Disney Charge Card. Got a few T-shirts for $6 and a Mickey umbrella for around $8.50.

It's interesting how the discounting seems to vary from store to store. I have used my card at Disney Stores in Birmingham and Huntsville, Alabama, and I get the 10% discount off my total transaction, sale or not. Also, I recently asked a CM at my local store when they might be planning to carry adult clothing again, as I for one am getting tired of seeing nothing but kid clothing and toys. I was told "no time soon" and that apparently the adult clothing did not take off in some regions. She told me that it would be pretty much limited to sleepwear and maybe some t-shirts.

I went to our disney store last weekend and I was disappointed in the merchandise selection as well. They didn't even have any of the nice Halloween stuff that they have in the catalog. I was very disappointed. Couldn't even find anything that I wanted to buy and get my 20% discount on!! My what is this world coming to!:hammer:

We have been members for several years (going back to the Magic Kingdom Club Days). I have found the card to be a money saver for rooms and tickets. I usually save between 100 and 200 a year on room rates and ticket costs. I have only used it a few times at the Disney Store. They closed our local store and I have not really tried their internet store.
