Christmas Ornaments

[Kevin Hayes]

I am a newbie to DVC. How and when are Member Christmas ornaments available and how do you obtain them?

 

[dcfromva]

They are available at the Member Christmas parties.
I think they are on Tues this year starting next week (Nov 24th), except I think there is one on a Monday (Dec 14th).
Member Services web site appears to be down, or I would get you a link to the page.

NOTE: Valid admission to Epcot is required to attend the Merry Member Mixers.

I alway thought that all members should get these mailed to them. I would rather them spend the postage to mail me this once a year instead of all the junk mail I get everytime I book a reservation. I got about 15 of those "Incredibles" booklets this year and made it right to the trash. I've only made it to one party because I generally don't travel during that timeframe. JMHO

DVC doesn't mail the pre vacation mailings, Disney does, same with the MB's. Unknown if we pay for the mailing but we probably do.

I'm sure that cost probably gets passed on to us. Wish we could opt out of that packet. Plus add in the other assorted mailings I get (times 2 different addresses for 2 owners on the same contract) for promotions to add on points. Either way, i still think that all DVC members should get the annual DVC Christmas ornament.

Too bad it's on a Tuesday We're coming down in a few weeks for a long weekend and we'll be leaving on Tuesday morning.

I've always thought that too. It's given only to those who go on at a particular time of year on particular dates and no other basis. But it's an issue I have with the new premise of special events at certain times of the year. Welcome Home Wednesday, while probably needing a refresh, provided a member event every week and I think that was good to have if they are going to have events so that all members could have a more equal chance to participate.

My guess is that they want to limit giving the ornament to owners who pay twice. All owners pay once through their dues for the event and ornament even if they don't attend, the owners who get them also pay for admission to Epcot.

then DVCers with APs would automatically get one.

What is the 2015 ornament?

What is the 2015 ornament?

It's an ornament! No, seriously, it's shaped like a glass ornament ball, pointed at top and bottom. I was going to post a photo of the one I got at the Merry Member Mixer on Tuesday, but I haven't unpacked yet. If you want to see it, they're already on ebay.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Cool - I see they must have made them out of actual pewter this year according to the ebay prices.

Finally found it, in the last bag I unpacked. Here it is:
