Disney Vacation Club Travel Show!!

[akghutton]

I am so excited!!! We just received an invitation for a Disney Vacation Club travel show here in Rochester New York this November. I didn't even know they were headed here. We don't have trip to WDW planned until Sept 09, so this will be a wonderful taste of "home" to help us through the long, cold winter.

Hi... Just got my "invite" today too... that's where i got the information on the "disclosure" thread i just started a few minutes ago.

Not sure if i'll make it to the event though...i was actually planning on a quick trip to see the mouse that week. We'll see. I'm also a "home" member to AKV aready too. Not sure i'll do BLT.

All the same, it's nice to see that Disney does have an event up here in central NY.

Is there a schedule posted anywhere giving dates and places?

 

[Hunclemarco]

The one we received was for:

Disney Vacation Club Travel Show
November 13-16, 2008
Strong National Museum of Play
One Manhattan Square, Rochester, NY 14607

Most times are at 7pm, and we're encouraged to RSVP by November 9.

Not sure if there any other dates and locations....i'm sure there are more though somewhere.

was it in an email or was it mailed to the house. our friend is one of the cm's working it and we planned on driving up there to visit him.

 

[akghutton]

It was a mailing to our house.

We just received ours today!! I just opened it! Just waiting for DH to get home to figure out which time and day We have a 2.5 hour drive there but have a discount to the museum thru one of our local kids centers, so maybe we will go early. Not planning on buying BLT, but hey, you never know! Besides, DVC receptions are GREAT!! We went to AKV reception in WDW in July 2007.

This is a nice little teaser before our trip in December where we can see the models!

Are these type of events new? I haven't been following any info on these...might just have to sign up and check it out! Really not looking to add on right now...this might not be a good idea

 

[lisareniff]

I haven't gotten one yet. We might have to make a trip into town.

What exactly is this??

Oh and 'Hi' to all my fellow Rochesterians! We live in Honeoye Falls.

I signed up my family for the Thursday, Nov. 13th date. I can't wait!!! My kids are so excited that Disney is coming to us this year, as we couldn't get to Disney.

 

[BROWNSPHAN]

We just received ours today as well. IT will be nice to see what they have to offer. We will be going down to Disney right after on Thanksgiving! Can't wait!!!

 

[luckyfin]

Got ours too! Love that there are so many posts from Rochesterians in one place!

 

[Quennifer2008]

I got one too, but I don't know if we are going to do it
We don't have any kids or anything so not sure if it would be fun
And we aren't interested in adding on yet

I just don't know what to do

 

[We Love the Mouse!]

We got an invite today as well. Signed up for Saturday. It was nice to see something happening close by...well.. an hour from home but for us that is close by!
We haven't been to Strong Museum in a while so it should be a nice treat.

 

[blondietink]

We got our invite yesterday and hope to sign up tomorrow if DH will agree. Hope they still have some weekend slots available as it is over an hour away for us. We got got back from WDW and this will be anice reminder of what we love about being DVC members!

 

[cheerful chickadee]

is this only for current DVC members? We got an invite in the mail and will be going but we're not DVC owners (as of yet) so I'm not sure if we were even supposed to receive this? Has anyone been to one of these before? It says Disney characters will be there!? lol I'm excited lol

I haven't gotten one yet. We might have to make a trip into town.

Oh and 'Hi' to all my fellow Rochesterians! We live in Honeoye Falls.

Hi from Macedon, I just got mine Thursday ! Maybe your is on the way ?

 

[akghutton]

Cheerful Chickadee,
Have you ever looked into DVC? If so, they probably have your contact info on file and are inviting potential buyers as well as current owner, who they hope will add-on. Regardless, if you want to go and have an invite, I would go. It should be fun even if you decide not to buy in. Plus, with the characters, it will be a little Disney in Rochester. Can't pass that up.

 

[cheerful chickadee]

yep I figured that was it, we inquired about dvc not too long ago and received a dvc packet with dvd in the mail a few days ago and now this invitation. I really hope they have some of the main characters there, we're going to wdw in May 2009 and my DD will be 19 months old at the time, I want to see how she does with the characters to get an idea of how she'll be for our trip. plus like you said...who can beat a little Disney in Rochester?
