This will be our first Merry Mixer too. We saw the tent last year and had planned on attending. Unfortunately, we took a nap and ended up sleeping for three hours and totally missed the event. Not this year, we arrive on the 27th and have no park plans until dinner at Epcot, after the Merry Mixer.

The only way we will miss the Merry Mixer would be cause of snow...knock on wood!

Anyone attending the First Merry Mixer tomorrow, please post some pictures of the event. Also, maybe try to get post pics of DVC members with the Mickey, Minnine and cast!

We just heard about this yesterday, and as luck has it, we'll be at WDW for one day on the 13th! DH and I planned to just tour the resorts and see the holiday decorations, but I hope we can make it to the mixer for a bit.
Just checked the weather - right now the forecast for that day says 82 and sunny!!

We got some today - about 3 inches. It's really cold so I hope it warms up so the ice will melt.

Hopefully I wont oversleep! I'd love to be in a group pic!

DH, DS8 and I went to the Mixer tonight. This was our first one, and DH did not want to go. Well...he wound up enjoying himself. DS8 had a blast dancing with the characters too. Tons of good pin trading, bought the LE DVC pins, and very cute snowman ornaments were given out. The weather was perfect, great cookies and cider, overall a very good time. I had my LGMH on my bag and looked for others, but no such luck. Hope you all enjoy yourselves when you visit.

We were there today as well and thought it was a great event. My DS went insane for the characters, he was practically running after Goofy and Pluto. Got some good pins on trade as well and the cookies were great.

After getting sick last time, I HAVE to schedule some naps! I'll make sure that I schedule the wake-up calls!

Thanks for letting us know about the mixer! I really hope that I'm able to squeeze it in!

We were also there on Thursday and had a nice time! I thought the cookies were incredible and would pay big bucks to get that recipe for those macadamia nut ones they had!!!!

We were there on the 6th and were able to meet up with a number of DISers. DVD does a really nice job with these event and I agree that the cookies were wonderful. Got a cute picture with Mickey and Minnie but skipped the pins this time. We opted instead to hang out in the back with the other DISers and catch up since I hadn't seen some of them since last years Merry Member Mixer.

As a new (Feb 07) DVCer, could someone give me the lowdown on this?

And can guests attend also?

We're going to be there for the 12/27 mixer- but I'll be having my DB, DSIL and kids with us. I'd hate to say "Sorry, you have to find something to do without us for an hour or two while we shmooze".

TIA.....

We were there as well on December 6th. There was a huuuge line to get in but it moved quickly. I was glad to see them checking ID since a number of passersby were asking what was going on. The four of us made each of the ornaments available at the crafts tables out back - two versions of a foam snowman, some snowflakes and hearts that you decorate by scratching the surface with a stylus and a Santa face made with popsicle sticks. As we left the party each of us received the pewter snowman ornament. My plan is to make a DVC Christmas wreath with all the ornaments.

My kids danced with Pluto, Donald and Daisy - this was a major step for my DS13 who is on the autism spectrum. I also have photos of each child with Santa Goofy and Pluto.

DH volunteered to stand in the humongous line for the special edition DVC pin - he bought two of the Snowman and one of Pluto.

All in all, a great time and we were glad we made the time to attend. As we approached the IG, a woman asked where she could get one of the cookies we were carrying - we told they were from a private party that had just ended but we could see her headed for the entrance to the Merry Member Mixer pavillion anyway.

I can tell you that they checked everyone's ID (that I could see) and asked if the children with me were my own!
