Pre-order Peter Pan Bluray/DVD now, get an $8 Amazon coupon!
Peter Pan, that classic movie that has spawned rides all over the world, is coming to Disney Blu-Ray on February 5th, 2013! Why so late, you ask? Well, that is because that is the 60th Anniversary of the original release of the movie!
I am looking forward to the movie release quite a bit, because that is the day before my birthday! The Peter Pan Diamond Edition, which consists of the Blu-Ray Disc, the DVD, the Digital Copy and the Storybook App, has a suggested retail price of $44.99 in the US, and $51.99 in Canada. That would make a great birthday present for me or any other Disney enthusiast who has a Blu-Ray player! Maybe I should send this post on over to my wife! 
However, if you pre-order now on Amazon.com, you can receive an $8 coupon to be used at check-out. Also, Amazon.com has the pre-order price marked at $30.99, and when you use the $8 coupon, you’re pre-order price becomes $22.99 before shipping, and around $25 after shipping costs. I haven’t been able to determine how long the coupon is good for, so if you are thinking about waiting and seeing about whether you want to buy the movie, you may end up losing out on that valuable coupon!
To help you decide whether you want to purchase the movie or not, here is a trailer you can watch! Enjoy!

Disney to shut down Disney Movies Online
Disney is shutting down its Web movie service, Disney Movies Online, saying the site wasn’t keeping up with user demands.
In an email to users, the company said the site would be closed as of Dec. 31.
The site allowed visitors to buy and rent both Disney & Pixar Movies. It also allowed people who purchased physical discs to stream the movies from the website.
However, the site did not attract many customers and had limited capabilities. Users couldn’t download their digital movies for offline playback, there was no support for connected devices like game consoles, and it only offered movies for streaming on Web browsers.
Disney did not say when a replacement service would be launched.
