Get 3 Disney Blu-ray/DVD Combos For Less Than $40!

I was going to post another Disney World update tonight, but I came across this deal today and decided to share it instead. If you are anything like me, then you get giddy when new Disney movies are released, then immediately feel nauseous when you see the prices! LOL

I got an email a while back from Disney Movie Rewards with an offer to print off a $10 coupon for the Blu-ray & DVD combo pack of the new Diamond Edition of Beauty and the Beast (to be released 10/5/10) when you are upgrading from a VHS or previous DVD version. I had bought the DVD off of eBay for the kids last Christmas, so I put in the UPC code and printed off my coupon. If you missed the email, here is the link. You do have to be a member of Disney Movie Rewards, but it is free to sign up. :)

A couple of days ago, I got another email from DMR, this one with a coupon for $10 off of the Blu-ray DVD combo pack of Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue (to be released 9/21/10). Here is the link for that one.

Now, the next movie I do not have a coupon for yet, but they usually release the coupons about a week before the movie is released, so I'm expecting one in late October or early November. It will (hopefully) be for Toy Story 3 (to be released 11/02/10). So whenever I get that email, I'll post the link for that coupon as well.

So if you have read this far, you are probably still trying to figure out how I am planning to get all 3 of these movies on Blu-ray AND DVD for less than $40. Well, here is how: (thanks Slickdeals!)

First, you will want to run out to Toys R Us tomorrow and pre-order Tinker Bell (there should be a pre-order card over by the Disney DVDs). On the pre-order card, it will say that you will receive a $10 gift card when you pick up your movie. You will pay a $10 deposit for Tink.

First Transaction (anytime before Sept 20th):
$10 Tinker Bell pre-order

Next, when you go back to pick up your Tinker Bell movie, you will want to grab the Beauty and the Beast pre-order card. That card will say that you will save $10 off of any Disney Blu-ray of $19.99 or more purchased with the pre-order. (Now I am assuming that Tinker Bell will be priced at $29.99 because that is what it is listed at on the TRU website, but it may end up being listed for less.) So here is the potential breakdown of the second transaction.

Second Transaction:
$30 Tinker Bell
$5 Beauty and the Beast pre-order
-10 DMR coupon (see link above)
-10 Tinker Bell deposit
-10 discount from Beauty and the Beast pre-order
--------------------------------
=$5 plus get a $10 giftcard for Tinker Bell pre-order

Now, when you go back on October 5 to pick up your new Beauty and the Beast movie, you will want to be sure and grab the Toy Story 3 pre-order card, which will most likely have the same deal as the Beauty and the Beast card did. So here is how your third transaction will break down: (Again, I am assuming a $29.99 price on Beauty and the Beast.)

Third Transaction (when Beauty and the Beast is released on Oct 5):
$30 Beauty and the Beast
$5 pre-order Toy Story
-10 DMR coupon (see link above)
-10 TS3 pre-order discount
-5 Beauty and Beast deposit
------------------------------------------
=$10

And now for your final transaction, on or around November 2.

Fourth Transaction (when Toy Story 3 is released on Nov 2):
$30 Toy Story
-10 DMR coupon (will hopefully release the same week as the movie)
-10 gift card from Tinker Bell purchase
-5 Toy Story deposit
----------------------------------
=$10

So $10 + $5 + $10 + $10 = $35 for all 3 movies!!

Of course, there are going to be deals at other stores, but this is the best one that I have found so far. Feel free to let me know in the comments if you find a better one! Happy shopping!
