WKRP in Cincinnati??? Where???

Was it the 30 minute long one that features 3 or 4 families and how they use their membership? One family did an Adventure by Disney, one family had small kids, and another were empty nesters that brought the whole dang family to a GV at BLT. That one has been running on the Travel Channel (I think) for at least 2-3 weeks...usually 7:30 or 8am EST.

I was filmed in the large family that stayed in the grand villa! We were the empty nest family who now bring our children and grandchildren. There were 9 of us total. It was an amazing experience. They recently updated the show to include a new family in Hawaii now that the building is complete. They must be getting sales from it because it has been on TV for about two years. Glad you liked it...

Val, I think they turned it into a regular 60 second commercial (maybe even a little longer than that.) I just saw it on our local cable channel CLTV (and I'm pretty sure it's you saying something to the effect of, "it's the best decision we made for our family vacations, hands down.")

I haven't watch a commercial since I got my DVR

PalVal · 07-15-2012, 08:35 PM

That sounds like something I might say...very cool! Thanks for letting me know. It hasn't shown up in New Hampshire, although the infomercial was on National Geographic station last week at 6:30 a.m.

Hey PalVal! My family was the Hawaii family at Aulani! We patterned our color choices after your family's. You all were so eye catching in your brights! I haven't seen the 60 second commercial but others I know have.

magicaldisney · 07-16-2012, 01:38 PM

We also saw a 60 second commercial last night around 11:00 p.m. I was so surprised. It was a very nice commercial and nice to see DVC presented.

PalVal · 07-16-2012, 08:11 PM

Your family was beautiful in your bright colors! We didn't know until about a week before we left for our vacation that we were chosen, so we had limited shopping time. My husband and my son-in-law showed up with the same colored shirt, so we had to make a wardrobe change real fast! Your family did an excellent job! I enjoyed your segment very much.

There was a 1 hour 'commercial' when they made membership in DVC the 'grand prize' on America's Funniest Home Videos

My DH had to make a wardrobe change as well because he wore a shirt with a tiny logo that was the same color as the shirt the day of his interview. He wound up with an Aulani shirt that he loves.

Your segment was playing in Aulani when we were there and on the Fantasy when we sailed.

PalVal · 07-17-2012, 09:12 PM

I doubt that I will ever see the 60 second commercial. All they ever play are political ads in NH... Does the 60 second ad show my grandchildren? That's all I really care about!!!

How fun two DISer's in that promotional program.

Of all the Disney stuff I have seen this is one I've missed. Val I remember when you were selected and you posting on the boards. I am going to have to search my cable listings and DVR the program. Do you know the exact title of the show?

Thanks - Lorrie
