DVC/Disney Travel webcast

[eazyeray]

I signed up for a DVC/Disney travel webcast that starts in about 10 min. Anyone else doing it or have done one yet? I'll post when I'm done to give you a quick rundown.
*edit* Just noticed Pete's de-lurking thread. I've been trying harder recently to post more. I've been on these boards for 3 years and barely post. My wife been on here for mabey 1 year and has waaaay more posts then me. Gotta go, the webcast started.

I did it the other night. The beginning was good to see the Fantasyland changes, but the rest was basically a big commercial. Not really necessary for those of us who are already members to see. I think it was better for people they are trying to get to buy in. But it does make me want to go to WDW - which I guess is also the point. LOL enjoy!

I logged on a little late. I got tied up making Sat breakfast. What are the changes to Fantasyland?

Woops I was supposed to do that this morning. I totally forgot! Aww well.

They are really upping the princess stuff. Each princess will have her own area or "house". There will be castles and little homes kind of like Mickey and Minnie's houses. The area around them will fit the theme. Gaston will have a restaurant in Belle's village area. It looks really cool. Plus they are doubling the Dumbo ride. I'm sure it will be packed with little girls I had trouble loading my webcast, but then got in fine. When the video ended, it started squealing and sounded like it was in fast forward so I closed out the page. Was there anything we were supposed to do at the end?

My wife and I watched it Thursday night. It touched upon some of the changes coming to WDW Fantasyland, the new Disney Dreams cruise ship, etc. However, it was really the opportunities DVC provides families to making memories; such as, reunions, birthdays, weddings/vow renewals, etc. along with testamonials from DVC members and interviews with cast members who plan these events. At the end there was a sales pitch with special offers, but that is to be expected. I was hoping they'd show the free lithograph, but they didn't.

It was interesting and definitely made us look forward to when we take our grand daughter on her first Disney trip with us.

Just a big commercial. Still good to see WDW.

I think we get a lithograph for logging in and watching. I logged in (late). They called yesterday and said I'd get an e-mail with the link to click on, but I didn't. I had to search for an earlier e-mail, that worked. I missed the new Fantasyland pictures - and like you all said, just another Disney commercial.

I know I signed up for today- but I dont know if I still have that email.
I never got another email as a reminder- so it looks like I missed it!

Usually they are very communicative about these things. This time- nothing!
