Dvc New Year's Day party??

[Kebby]

I say in the latest dvc magazine mention of a New Year's Day party for dvc members. Does anyone have more info on this? We are still deciding between arriving nye and late ny day

 

[disneynutz]

My guess is that it will be a paid for party like the holiday meals.

We arrive early to WDW on NY Day. Would love to attend. Are these ticketed events?

 

[bobbiwoz]

We will be there NY Day, we will check this out!

 

[Deb & Bill]

It says it's a brunch at the Contemporary Resort Ballroom. Figure $65-80/person.

I noticed this too and considered booking. Although it says in the magazine that more information & pricing can be found on the DVC website, there's nothing about it on the events calendar yet, but I'll keep checking and will update here if I find anything out.

Really? If so, I'll pass........

 

[Deb & Bill]

I'm sure they will add in a DVC Monopoly game to each family. And you won't be able to buy that game anywhere but ebay.

 

[pchristofferson]

We will be there on NYD as well - still no information about this event on the member calendar. Has anyone attended this event before?

I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed. I had hoped it would be more like the Brunch at the Top.

 

[tink too]

I would like to know which characters will be there - if they would be rare ones, I would be interested in attending.

 

[TLPL]

It's expensive for a brunch. Are any of you planning to attend?

 

[Kebby]

we likely will! it is pricey, but its an experience we have not done before.

Not paying that price for a breakfast. We're passing.

 

[vnovabri]

On the fence about this brunch...I am still waiting to see all the "events" going on the New Years weekend.

 

[tink too]

I'd love to attend, but DH isn't sure. I guess he's got until the 6th of October to decide!
