December 3, 2009 by


I am now “hooked” on Disney Movie Rewards, so I was THRILLED when I saw the promotion where ABC Family will be offering a new Disney movie reward code (worth 5 points each) daily!

To find the daily code, go to ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas site here and in the lower left hand corner, there is a section that says “Disney Movie Rewards.” Today’s code is WREATH.

Log in to your Disney Movie Rewards account (or create one if you don’t have one) here.

Hang on to your codes from the movies you have bought or are buying because there is supposed to be one more “doubles” day between now and the end of the year! I’ll keep you posted!
