Sorry to bring up this old thread, but does anyone know how often these come out?  Is it just once a year?

I'm curious too.  Didn't the last issue have some coupons for some reduced Bring a Friend tickets for the Christmas festival?  That would lead me to believe they might not have another one this year. But, it sure would be nice to have some new coupons for my Christmas trips.

Look for a new "Times" every few weeks as the show schedules and park hours change...also as festivals change out. Same with brochures in racks...they must keep the printing presses very busy!

i thought maybe it was a season pass "perk", but only received the one issue.  it had coupons for food in july and august.. some bring a friend passes, also a white water discount.  I was hoping maybe it was a "paper" SDC sent out every 2 or maybe 3 months all year. but apparantly not. :-\

That's the PATHFINDER. 
The SDC TIMES is the season passholder newsletter and it comes out quarterly

It's been awhile since I got a paper version. IDK what the deal is.
Check out SDC's page as they post the latest ones on there.

It is usually on the Schedules/Brochures page but it is currently not on there.
I think the one they had up was really out of date.

The last Times I received was in June.  It did have two "bring-a-friend" coupons for OTC and several others for the summer and fall. I haven't seen anything else.  The on-line edition I saw didn't have any coupons in it.  There is a link to the on-line version of the last edition posted earlier in this thread.  I don't know if it still active.

The Times doesn't come out on a regular schedule anymore.  The issue that came out during the summer had BAF coupons that lasted through mid December.  I've already given away one of the coupons but I still have the one that's a BAF for $25 for Saturdays only Nov. 6, 13, 20, and Dec. 4, 11, and 18.  Somestimes if you call customer service the person will let you know if an issue of the Times is available.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if one day SDC Times goes all digital, and they no longer mail out copies.

I enjoy the mailed hard copies. After a day in front of the computer, I need some joy in my mailbox other than the bills, and junk mail. The very rare copies I get, I read from cover to cover. Funny that I purchase 3 season passes every year-mom-wife- self, yet I do not receive a times....only my wife does. weird
