Could someone explain the distribution of Disney DVDs available for sale?

I can never find many. Is it because they are taken off of the market and reintroduced every 7 years? How many are introduced every year? Is there a website online that has a good selection? My daughter is 3 and it seems her childhood will be over by the time I can build up a collection.

New Disney movies are released in DVD format similar to any other films of other studios. Dsisney also bring out new mastered versions or special editions of their classic movies on the special aniversary dates like 25th, 50th. But I have seen others that do not follow a clear pattern. For example:

Pinocchio USA home video release history

October 14, 1986 (VHS and Betamax, remastered Classics edition)
March 26, 1993 (VHS and Laserdisc, restored Classics edition)
April 16, 1995 (VHS, Spanish-dubbed Clásicos edition)
October 26, 1999 (60th Anniversary Edition, as well as a Limited Issue DVD)
March 7, 2000 (VHS and DVD, Gold Classic Edition)
