Fix Your Disney Princess DVDs


Ok, so this has nothing to do with baby stuff and we don't even sell this item, but I recently purchased one of these and thought enough of it to share it here.

My daughter loves movies, especially Disney princess movies. We purchased Cinderella literally right before it went into the infamous Disney vault. She was just starting to watch movies and just starting to discover the Disney princesses. I don't know how Disney does it, but somehow, overnight, she fell in love with all things princess. Anyway, her new favorite DVD got scratched and she was heart broken.

I researched do-it-yourself remedies online but none fixed the problem. Maybe I'm the only one that didn't know this, but you can take your DVDs to the local video game store (I would assume local movie rental store too, but I don't know) and they will buff the scratches out of your DVDs for $5 each. At the time it seemed like a great deal, or at least cheaper than buying a new DVD, especially one that was in the "vault". But as my daughter's DVD collection and independence grew (along with slacker mommy supervision), she wanted to pick out and set up the DVD player by herself and as a result, more DVDs got scratched. Well, at that rate, $5 a pop didn't seem like such a great deal anymore.

I came across an afforable DVD repair system, the Digital Innovations 10185 Skip Dr. Motorized AutoMax Scratch Repair System. At around $30 on Amazon, I could fix DVDs and CDs (and video games if we played them) at home. I've only taken it out of the box twice and repaired about 6 DVDs and 1 CD, but so far it's working great! Sometimes I have to re-fix the DVD again because I didn't leave it in the machine long enough, but I am really liking it.

So, if you have scratched DVDs and CDs out there, give this repair system as try. If you do, be sure to let me know how it works out for you. Good luck!
