And out of curiosity, does anyone *have* all the issues? I thought Wikipedia would have the answers, but not quite: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Magazine" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D isney_Magazine</a>
Originally Posted By hightp FiveBearRugs, 40-45 sounds about right. I believe I have most, if not all, of the issues, and if I remember when I get home, I can count them. The magazine was only published 4x a year, and I don't remember any extra 'special' or annual issues during that time. I do remember that during the 25th anniversery celebration at Walt Disney World, the resorts were giving a complementary copy in each room. I can actually say it is one of the few magazines that I always read cover to cover, through the entire subscription. It was one of my favorites, and I looked forward to each quarter's issue.

Originally Posted By hightp They never paid me for my undelivered issues, either. But I think it was because my sub was a freebie from one of the clubs. I counted mine last night, and got 37, but I may have mislaid a few issues.

To answer your question, no I'm not counting the oldschool Disney News (although I have two isses, one from '94 and the other from '95). I'm only counting the "official" Disney Magazines of the 90s. Now that I think about it, I probably could have renewed my subscription after the Winter 2000/01 issue.

It does seem to me that they might figure out no single household wants four of the same magazine delivered every month. Perhaps it is a way to raise circulation numbers. I know I could get the other three cancelled, but I never think about it until they arrive. So we are flooding the doctor and dentist offices with them (sans address information, of course) But what a waste. And not a great magazine if you don't have little ones in the house either.
