Vacation Magic

Vacation Magic was the quarterly members' magazine of the Disney Vacation Club. In 2007 it was renamed Disney Files Magazine, keeping largely the same format. ^†1

History

The Disney Vacation Club mailed its first member magazine in 1992 to all of its 2,700 members; it had 12 pages. In 2005 the member magazine added Disneyland news and grew to 28 pages, and in 2006 it grew to 32 pages. ^†2

The club's 2002–2003 member guidebook described Vacation Magic as a "Community News" newsletter mailed to members each season and also available on the DVCMember.com website. Its sections included membership news, member benefits, Walt Disney World events, answers to members' questions, the Member Getaways program, pages for each Disney Vacation Club resort, and "Letters From Home", made up of members' stories, tips and photographs. ^†3

DVCNews.com reported the change in November 2007 with the Winter 2007 issue of Disney Files Magazine. Columns such as "Member Perks", "Member Getaways" and "Around the Neighborhood" continued under the new name, and past issues of Vacation Magic had been archived as PDF files on DVCMember.com. ^†1 The Winter 2011 issue of Disney Files Magazine was numbered Volume 20, Number 4, and was edited by Ryan March. ^†4 The Disney Vacation Club's website describes Disney Files Magazine as a quarterly publication for its members. ^†5
