I looked for a topic like this but couldn't find one. What I'm wondering is how everyone displays their Disney DVDs? Do you have them separate from your other DVDs, do you have a special rack, do you put them in chronological order, etc.
I just have mine in the built in shelf of our entertainment center now. I'd like to build a DVD tower, maybe enough for 50 DVDs, and paint the name of each of the Classics on each shelf - then I thought I could add numbers & little symbols to indicate if the movie won an Emmy or Grammy (little Ocsar and little Grammy picture). Of course this is just a dream since the last thing I built out of wood was like 25 years ago and that was out of popsicle sticks...

as for me i have a separate disney dvd shelve thing that is getting full and i need to get another but i put them in order. i was thinking about getting shelves and putting the litho of a certain movie and have the dvd, vhs, soundtrack and any other figure or something related to the movie hehe I wish my place was bigger and make a long hall way. MMB's Hall of Disney Walk of Fame! 
I have two bookcases side-to-side, and they're just barely holding all my DVDs right now. I've got the Pixar films & animated classics on a shelf of their own, next to some of my other favorite things (BTTF Trilogy, Peanuts Holiday Collection, etc.)
The live-action and direct-to-video Disney features used to be right next to the animated classics but now they're relegated to the second shelf - there is some kind of a logical order to it, kind of by release year and keepcase color. It looks okay. The 2-disc SEs are together...and then Disney's non-"Disney" films, which look nice because the spines are all similar (and all have the "Widescreen" logo on them).
That's a really cool idea for the classics, Kayleigh!

Use a multi-level bookcase as well and keep the Disney stuff separate.
I am extremely anal about the order of these and all of my DVDs...but I'm not autistic or anything...it's just the way I like it
Anyway. The Box Sets come first, then the Pixar films, then the SEs/PEs. After that I start alphabetically and then at the end of that run I file the Live-Action films alphabetically. Finally (yes, there's more) I have the Holiday DVDs.

Sounds very similar to my set-up. Two bookcases that are about to burst at the seams. All my DVDs are in alphabetical order (it is the librarian in me).Luke wrote:I have two bookcases side-to-side, and they're just barely holding all my DVDs right now.

Music DVDs have a shelf of their own, and the TV related stuff take up a few shelves of their own.
Disney DVDs ave their own shelves of course. All the 'classics' are on one shelf, and below that is a shelf with Treasures, Pixar stuff, Dinosaur, the DTVs and live action (in that order). It is now officially full.
Looking at it now I'm quite scared....

I have 2 full shelfs of DVDs, and I keep all my Disney titles together on the top shelf on the left hand side. Once I get enough of them, I plan on setting up a seperate display with a glass, BATB rose in front (the kind they sell at Disneyland). 
As for how I organize my DVDs on the shelves, I like to keep the genres together, and as Luke said, I try and group them by color as well. Looks nicer that way.

I feel really alone on this.... I have only ten movies (all Disney) - Peter Pan, Peter Pan in Return to Neverland, Fantasia 2000, The Emperor's New Groove, Beauty and the Beast, Swiss Family Robinson, Pollyanna, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Other Side of Heaven, and Emma (Miramax). They sit on a shelf in my room with all my books. Perhaps if I got more movies I could make a nicer shelf for them... you guys seem to have nicer ways of showing them off.
