Disney Vacation Club Travel Show!!

[cheerful chickadee]

ok now I'm a little leery about going. We do not own DVC (as of yet, hee, hee) but we received an invitation to this event in the mail. I figured it was because we've shown interest in dvc on the disney website. We responded that we would attend but now I'm seeing that you have to be a dvc member already? I'm confused. Is it also for people who don't own yet but are interested in more info? Surely they are not offering free stuff to just anyone who attends, right?

Thanks for the report! We are going on Sunday at the 7 pm show and plan to arrive early for dinner and the museum. I did not realize they would keep the museum open for 2 hours! Very cool.

It is for current members and potential members, those who showed interest in DVC in the past, but have yet to purchase. Anyone who attended, member or non-member, received the free gifts. There was no difference in how individuals were treated.

They have 2 different versions of the 'show'. You were probably invited to the non-member show where they will skew the information more toward those that are new to the DVC system and the member 'show' might not have that introductory information and would be more about add-ons. I was invited to the member shows at 7pm on Thurs, Fri., Sat, and Sun. and 4pm on Sat. I'm sure even if you did sign up for a member show that you, being a savvy DISboard member, will fit in just fine.

Lisa,
Interesting, I had no idea there were two different shows. Thanks for the info.

We are registered for the 4pm show on Sat. Now, DH has to work. Can I attend without him? I'd hate to drive all that way and not be able to get in. Anyone have an opinion?

I don't know how much is different but they are targeting two different populations.

I don't think it will be a problem at all. The woman who I spoke with, who organized it, said they were expecting a certain amount of no shows. She was reassuring me that if we had to bail before the 'show' that was fine.

I'm still not sure why they call it a 'show'. I guess I will find out on Sunday...if the stars align.

You spoke to someone? Do you have a number I could call?

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 got one too and I am not a member but did go do the tour in April. I want to be a member but DH is balking with the economy the way it is right now.

I was going to go then decided not to. After reading all this I wish I had signed up and taken the 45 min. drive.

On Monday I just called the DVC sales office and the happened to get someone (who knew what I was asking) and sent me to this person. I'm sure she is in Rochester now and not at the sales office number.

I'm really quite sure if your name is on the registration then you will be able to attend even if your husband does not attend.

We attended the show tonight but couldn't win anything since we're Canadian. We did get mouse ears which we'll have embroidered at MK on Tuesday. The prizes were the same as previously posted. The Strong Museum of Play is a blast. My teens had a great time.

Here's me with Deevy See!
