A Disney OUTLET store!?! Really? Seriously? At the DELLS?

Why didn't anyone mention this to us?

{HEAVY SIGH} I guess this means another Potter Road Trip.

And you all know how much we Potter's just ABHOR road trips!

I didn't even know it was there!! I agree.. I might have to make a trip!

Milford - - I have a good friend from here who does membership work with the Pyrotechnics Guild. Are you a member? I would be glad to hook the 2 of you up.

I would love to get involved with the PyroTechnics Guild.

Thanks Ian. Here's what I responded to over on the other thread for those of you who want to know



This statement is unfair. It's like labeling an entire group racist yet there is only a couple people.
I've been a member since '97 and have loved coming here almost every year since '93. I come because I love Disney but I have noticed our perks becoming less and less. I miss the free valet, 10% off at the Disney store and some others. The new banking policy doesn't bother me but if what he said was true on why it was implemented, then I'm glad to see him go.

I was on last years SSMC and found it not to be as much fun as the very first one that I went on in '03. Friends we met last year said the "Freebies" every night became more and more cheap and they were using the same "Freebie" ideas and cruise names that were used on SSMCs prior.
With all the imaginative power behind Disney you would think that these "little things" would keep getting better and better! The only reasons they wouldn't would be OPERATING ON THE CHEAP and A DISASSOCIATION WITH HOW YOU GOT THERE! You need to keep your base happy in order to grow!!!! Word of mouth is KEY! I have walked by many a DVC kiosk and have overheard the conversation and hesitation of people and told them to just go, that it isn't a high pressure sales pitch and that it is fun getting all the info. I've persuaded quite a few over the years.

That's my 2 cents from a non insider. The "Magic" has dissipated for some time now and it would be better to have "The Best Kept Secret" than "Hey, I Wanna Talk To You bout Something". Here's to hoping things get back on the right track!

Amen! Shawn and I for sure are not going on the Member Cruise next year. They have taken many perks away, we too miss the Disney Store Discount and many other perks we used to get. We had decided last year that we would give the member cruise one more shot, this will be our 4th. We had already decided to do PCC 4.0 on the Fantasy next year anyway.

Hopefully they will make the announcement of his replacement on the cruise and the replacement can answer to what he or she is going to do for the 400000 members we have.


I guess we will all have to see!

I miss the first five years when we used to get park passes!!

Apparently it rained a lot in upstate New York today.

 

[M & N Potter]

Time for a run?

If we hurry, we can be done by quarter to ...

(and catch the lurkers off guard ... )

 

[susieq55]

Has anyone else ever done the Richard Petty Driving Experience? Yes, that's me trying to squeeze in through the window!!

 

[M & N Potter]

A quick flurry of posts will do it ...
