The video provides an overview of Walt Disney World or Disneyland (you choose), with beautiful footage of the parks, hotels, special events, and more. This video will tug at your heart strings (we all know Disney is incredibly skilled at this sort of thing), and sometimes this emotional approach is just what’s needed.

To order, simply click here, which will take you to Disney’s official site to complete the sign-up form.
Please note that as of 2019, it appears Walt Disney World is no longer sending out copies of the DVD by mail. The video is streaming-exclusive, at least for the time being. (We’re guessing that this is a permanent change given the rise of streaming and fall of media-based video consumption. It’s also probably cheaper for Disney.
That’s right, “Welcome Bricker Family,” indeed! 🙂
While you’ll find some content here that will emotionally resonate, the fact is that’s not the goal of our blog posts. We weigh the pros and cons of everything from hotels to restaurants to tickets and beyond to help you spend your money wisely and get the must bang for your buck with posts like our Walt Disney World Planning Guide or Disneyland Planning Guide.
Unless you want your kids to view you as a drill sergeant, resources like this video are an awesome way of balancing out strategical tips & tricks on our blog, with something fun. Plus, it’s a nice keepsake…and did we mention free?! (Ha, we’re obviously over-emphasizing that bit, but seriously, how often do you get something totally free from Disney?)
If you are just starting to plan your first visit to Disneyland or Walt Disney World, this video can also be an excellent resource. It provides background info that’s helpful before digging into comprehensive material on blogs or unofficial guidebooks. Sometimes, we have a tendency to presume knowledge of certain things in our posts, and this video is a good primer to make sure you have that knowledge.
Even if you have visited numerous times, ordering the free Disney Parks Planning video is still a great way to get hyped up for your next trip.
We order the new edition of the video every year. We like to build anticipation by watching the newest version of this video, and other specials we’ve collected. While they aren’t incredibly helpful in terms of planning, they are fun, and that matters, too!

I’ve also had trouble ordering the DVD. I don’t want the online version. My husbands never been to Disney and I’m hoping the video will get him on board. He won’t watch an online video.
It says “Order your free copy of the 2017 Disney Parks Vacation Planning DVD directly from Disney is as easy as clicking the image below:”, but there’s no image to click on. What am I missing? Thanks.
There’s no image to click on
I don’t understand this. It says that Walt Disney World and Disneyland are only viewable online and there are not DVDs. Am I missing something?
I keep getting the address error message as well. I sent an email to Disney and they said they no longer have the dvds I have to watch the videos online?!
Hello. I live in Johannesburg in South Africa. Please can you send me a 2017 planning dvd. I am happy to pay for the associated delivery costs. Alternatively can you share the content of the dvd by putting the content on a sharepoint/location somewhere? Please let me know. Thank you kindly.
Sorry–we aren’t the ones who send out the DVDs. That’s Disney; we just provide info about ordering them here. Good luck! 🙂
wh ycant we get one sent to the uk, a lot of tourists come year after year to visit the parks, so how can i get one sent to me pls
I am trying to order a copy of the video and I have been unable to. It keeps taking me back to enter my address?? I have tried my physical and PO Box with no luck. I read in one of the comments above you have to be in the US. I am, but still not letting me. I wonder if they think New Mexico is not in the US?
I also got to this glitch. Would let me sign in, but kept marking my address as red and wouldn’t proceed past that page…?
Looking to receive free Walt Disney world 2017 DVD planning info.

Mine doesn’t have a year on the cover, but the DVD I just got (1/5/16) features a lot of footage of things that opened very recently.
FWIW, I ordered the DVD in late December because I heard the 2017 version was available. I just received the DVD in the mail Friday. Same one as last year.
I called Disney and eventually got through to someone who told me anyone who ordered beginning in January 2017 (or later) should receive the 2017 version.
I’m not sure how much I trust them, lol. I’ve been ordering these as souvenirs for a few years, and it’s always inconsistent…unorganized. Sometimes, nothing arrives, sometimes it comes quickly, etc. etc. Just be patient!
That happened to me too! I was looking forward to the 2017 version and it was the same one we received last year! What a disappointment!
I’m unable to order the DVD – is this a glitch or what?
If you’re located outside of the United States, it’s not a glitch–you won’t be able to order.
If you’re having issues but are inside the United States, it could be a glitch. I just checked the site and don’t see any issues, though.
We can we order the 2017 planning DVD because I ordered mines today but I am hoping to not receive the 2016
You should receive the 2017 one when you order now.
When are the 2017 DVD planning videos ready to be send because I don’t want one from 2016 like when can you begin ordering the new one
Your link to the Disney planning DVD is not active.

They don’t mail them to Canada anymore 🙁 I love those videos!!! 🙁
WOW seriously? I was just going to go on their web site to order one, I LOVE those DVD’s.
I requested the 2017 DVD in August and still have yet to receive it. I called Disney to place my order because the webpage doesn’t work anymore. I was told in November, after I’d called for the 3rd time to see what was going on, that there’d been a glitch and all previous orders had been deleted! So, here I am, 22 days away from my first trip to WDW, still waiting for my DVD. Thanks, Tom, for so much excellent information…couldn’t have planned this trip without you!!
Wow, that’s the first time I had heard that, but it really doesn’t surprise me. This DVD has been touch-and-go for a while, and I’m guessing a good percentage of people who have ordered since around June have had a similar issue. It didn’t seem like there were any problems until then.
Still not working!
