What a Shame.. I remember reading this magazine when I was younger... It will be a shame not to see it at the local grocery store... but I think the demise of this magazine sadly has been a long time coming.. .... Info Magazine such as Disney Adventures all the contents of that magazine can be found online a month before the Disney Adventures hits newstands making it cheaper just to look it up online....

According to the article... Disney Adventures Magazine has been around for 17 years...

I haven't read Disney Adventures for years but I loved it when I was younger and I have many shoeboxes full of old copies from the 90s. I might pull them out some time soon and relive the decade. I always enjoyed seeing new issues at the grocery store, simply as a reminder of the past, so it'll be sad not to see them anymore. It's also a shame that future generations won't have the magazine to grow up with. As disneyboy20022 said, however, the internet has undoubtedly hurt the magazine's sales.

Is Nickelodeon Magazine still in publication?

I thought Nick Magazine got the ax ages ago, but maybe I made that up.

It's a shame. I loved DA as a kid. And I'm still bummed about the regular Disney magazine leaving me... grr.

I think actually It still is in publication.. I think I saw a an issue for the Nickelodeon Magazine the other day at the local grocery store...

Also It appears it can still be ordered from amazon via a subscription so my guess is that it is still going... As Well as Nick JR. Magazine

I just have some of the first ones and a few random ones. Didn't it start out as just a comic digest sort of thing with maybe one interview in the middle? I liked it better that way. When it changed format I really lost interest. Still, I'll miss seeing it.

I read this on AnimatedNews a week ago and I was so mad!

I LOVE DA and I even have a subscription to it...I wonder what will happen with my sub...at least its the end of the year so I'll only be missing out on one issue.

I had a DA subscription for years growing up, and I even had one 2 years ago! I'm really surprised that it's stopping publication, what with the popularity of the Disney Channel. My biggest complaint with DA is that there's not enought DISNEY in the DISNEY ADVENTURES. They have Spider-Man and Shrek and Harry Potter...if they just left it having Disney material (with some celebrity interviews...I sure did like the Hanson issue years ago), then I think that it'd be better.

But, it's sad to see it go. Good times.

This is sad. I used to subscribe to this magazine a lot when I was a kid in the 90s. I even still have some of the issues.

Wow..... Sad news indeed, but quite lucky for me. Ive been an avid subscriber over the past 10 or so years, and my subscription ended with this last issue. I had plans to renew it, but thank God I hadn't. I guess I'll just pick up the last couple of issues in stores.....

Like most people here, I was a big fan of the magazine as a kid. I collected virtually every issue from July 1993 to about 1999 or so. Once the new millenium rolled in, I started buying it more and more infrequently because (just like the Disney Channel), the magazine started moving away from its namesake and became generic.

I remember every time a new animated classic came out, a special issue was released devoted almost ENTIRELY to that film. They had interviews with the cast and filmmakers, articles on the history of the production and source material, pics of concept art, a comic adaptation of the film, a personality quiz, and ads for all of the merchandise out. Hercules was the last Disney movie to really get this treatment. Mulan and Tarzan had special issues, but they weren't up to the standards of the others and were plagued by non-movie-related content. After Tarzan, Disney Adventures didn't bother with the special issues anymore. Disney's own movies were relegated to three-to-four-page blips.

A part of me wants to be sad that the magazine's stopping, but considering how downhill it's gotten, I'm not really feeling anything. I may check out the last issue for closure's sake, though. Funny how it'll arrive around the time of my 21st birthday, kind of the end of an era, I guess.
