We have Donald Duck magazine here in the Netherlands as well and I can tell you everyone was reading it when I was young. Me, my siblings, but also my parents.

We have Donald Duck magazine here in the Netherlands as well and I can tell you everyone was reading it when I was young. Me, my siblings, but also my parents. There often was a literal fight when the mail came in who got to read it first. I carried the subscription along when I moved out as an adult but cancelled it years ago as the newer stories became less interesting. I still love to read the older ones so I don't think it's an age thing. The old ones often have great storytelling. You can really tell if it is an original (American) Disney story or one by the Dutch/European studio, or if the intern was tasked with coming up with this week's idea.
