We went in the Fall. They had a "game show" and drinks (lemonade?) and snacks (Cracker Jacks). They did give out some free stuff, everyone got the drawstring "Backpacks" and some hats..... the usual.... if you don't already have a collection of that stuff then it is worth going.
Personally..... we have tons of duplicates so until they get a new line, we won't be in a hurry to go back.
It was fun to talk to other DVC's (not just the ones from our home resort) and you can get info about some of the other resorts (HHI, VB, etc)
