Day 6/365 September 26 came and went, but no new website for Disney Movie Rewards. It wasn't until yesterday, October 2, 2019, that it finally went live. Here are my initial thoughts on the new Disney Movie Insiders site. Clunky Navigation I tried the site from my phone yesterday before trying it on my laptop today. I thought, "It must be better there!" but it wasn't. Both mobile and desktop versions are very clunky and hard to navigate. The sliders don't slide. You click something for more information, and it goes to a screen with the same information, and nothing is clickable. On my laptop, the site looks great in Firefox, but crappy in the recommended browser, Chrome. Some of the graphics are pixelated and blurry. It really seems like…

345/365 Last month at the D23 Expo, Disney Movie Rewards announced that they will be rebranding to Disney Movie Insiders. Here's what we know so far. Changeover Timeline Take a look at the graphic below to see the timeline of the changeover to Disney Movie Insiders. As you can see, they've put lots of rewards on "clearance" until Monday. If you have any redemptions to make, now would be a good time. On September 10, 2019, redemptions will be unavailable until September 26 when the new site is due to be up and running. Disney Gift Cards I am happy to see that Disney e-Gift Cards will still be available as a reward. I figured out a while ago that they were phasing out the hard plastic cards, and I'm…
Day 4/365 2018-2019 In October, 2019, Disney Movie Rewards rebranded to Disney Movie Insiders, eliminating the Disney and Marvel Challenges. On Mondays, twice a month (1st & 3rd), Disney Movie Rewards comes out with a new Disney Challenge trivia game. It's fun to play, and you automatically get 5 points for playing. Today was a bonus because it's also the first of the month when Disney Movie Rewards posts a new trivia challenge for the Marvel 10th anniversary. Play both games today and hello 10 free points!

When you buy Disney DVDs, you can enter the code on the box and receive points in your…
Day 153/365 While there is an extra day this month, don't let that lull you into a false sense of security. There is so much to do to wrap up before the next month begins, that I feel like I need a checklist to consult.

Day 81/365 Disney Movie Insiders seems to be trying to redeem themselves by coming out with a holiday promotion where they are giving away points each day from now until New Year's Day. It's not Holiday Surprise Spectacular, mind you, but it's better than nothing! Merry & Bright Delights This year's holiday promotion is dubbed "Merry & Bright Delights," and consists of a new code to enter into your Disney Movie Insiders account each day, starting yesterday and concluding on New Year's Day. Both of the codes that are live today are worth five points each. Better Than Nothing I wasn't expecting much this year with the new (and not improved) Disney Movie Insiders.
