Anybody going Sunday to the Doorway to Dreams/Garden City Merry Member Mixer?

May be interested but haven't received any info on it

 

[carlbarry]

I received an email about it Wednesday. Kind of late for a Sunday event, I thought, especially Thanksgiving weekend.

First I've heard of it; just looked through email didn't receive anything on it

just found the info in my spam folder.....would love to go but trying to decide if i want to fight the traffic to get there

We'll be there..good thing we live nearby. I wonder what the ornament they are giving away looks like this year. We went last year and got one too. We will be bringing one of the girls we are taking away for my dd's sweet 16. I think we might do BLT and we want to see the 2 bedroom layout again.

We're about a 1/2 hr away without traffic...I'd love to get the new ornament too....we love the BLT layout but are heading down next year for my daughters 21st birthday.....have a 2br booked at VWL now...and are in the process of deciding if we want to try and switch at the 7 month mark

We live 15 minutes away, but too exhausted. Three days of straight celebrating. Thanksgiving, and engagement dinner, and our grammar school reunion! Too old for all this fun!

What you missed:
Gift: last year's ornament and this year's ornament (a pewter gingerbread Mickey)
Seeing a model of Aulani with presentation about the facility
A sit down presentation about BLT and incentives today only
Chocolate fountain
Sales presentation: basically, $20 off per point, bringing BLT down to about $98.

We had a fun today at the merry mixer.

I love the new ornament

We all loved the Dylan candy chocolate fountain. They had pretzels, rice crispy, marshmellows, strawberrys, gram crackers, chocolate cookies.
I love the marshmellows. My ds made a smores. I think when we left the Dylan girls were happy. My ds wanted to try it all.

We went with friends. It was a nice break in the holiday weekend.

Wish they had the chocolate fountain all the time there. yum yum

Outside at radio disney they asked my ds some trivia questions and he won a toy story 3 puzzle.

We were there and had a great time.. I wish we could take advantage of the incentives but we just can't afford it.

Would have loved to have been there on Sunday...but couldn't make the trip.....went shopping today and stopped by they still had some DVC ornaments and now one is on my tree

I just got the email today. We will be there from 12-16 - 12-24 and it looks like there is one 12-23.
I am not sure I am looking to buy any new points, but if i did it would be BC, are those discounted too or only BLT?

If I am not buying points, is it fun to go to or more like a sales pitch?

Wasn't super-fun, but wasn't a high pressure sales pitch either. They actually had "don't bother me" stickers for people who didn't plan to add on. They didn't really say that. But that's what they were -- so basically, they left you alone after the presentation.

If you want the ornament, go. If not, give it a pass -- it wasn't like a big happening.

Thanks for the reports. I passed on the mixer and was curious as to what I missed.

Thank you!
How was the pool warm enough to swim?
