We stop by the kiosks once in a while if there's no other guests there. Sometimes we just feel sorry for the CM just standing there alone; sometimes we're killing time waiting for friends to finish a ride. We've always just had a nice chat about how long we've been members (long time) which impresses some of them who have barely been alive that long!
Once we took the DVC tour at DLR because they were showing Aulani rooms and we had just bought there while on a cruise. The Guide asked if another family could join us, and since we weren't going to buy and didn't want to waste his time, we said sure. They turned out to be a nice younger couple with a couple of kids and they seemed really interested in DVC.
My wife and I got to talking to them and they started asking US more questions about DVC than the Guide, which I guess makes some sense since they wanted to hear from people who were already members.
We told them the truth about how much we've loved it and how much it meant to our family growing up. What we DID NOT DO was mention resale or renting points since we didn't think it was the right setting or time and they didn't ask.
The Guide pulled us aside after we split from the other family after the tour and thanked us for the recommendations and good reviews for DVC. We sort of felt like shills that con men use in the movies, but we also felt we had been honest about our experiences with DVC.
To top things off, a few months later we got a call out of the blue from some DVC marketing department wanting to know if we w/b interested in appearing in one of their promotional videos. You know, the ones they show non stop on the tvs at the resorts. The had
ABD trips and BLT stays planned for the video, but we couldn't do it because of the timing.
I wonder if that call was related to our experience as temporary "guides" on that DLR visit to the DVC sales center.
