I'm surprised at how many members aren't aware of all of the member only benefits, events, etc that are available. Many of which didn't really have a significant impact on our decision to buy in, but they are available nonetheless. When we book a trip the first thing we do is check to see which ones we can take advantage of (if we haven't planned a trip around on of them). The Thanksgiving Dinner isn't anything to write home about, but it isn't exactly a meal at Golden Corral either. We would definitely do it again if we ever decide to go back during the Holidays again. Pretty sure we have fully accepted the "been there, done that and got the t-shirt" mentality though...Lol!!
