Gift for repeat visits?

[miTnosnhoJ]

The confusing part to me is that all DVC members are, by definition, repeat guests!

I also received a white chocolate Mickey on my 4-10 Oct visit at the Boardwalk. They delivered it on Oct 5 ( a couple days before the hurricane). At first I thought it was some sort of mistake until I found the card with my name on it. It was a very nice gesture. I returned home for a week and checked back in to the Boardwalk 17-22 Oct and there was no white chocolate Mickey in either of the rooms we had on the second visit. So, I have no idea what triggered Mickey's surprise appearance. But, I agree with everyone else that he really looked cool. And I really hesitated before I bit his ears off.

Is it bad that the cynical side of me thinks that a wedding or some event had to be canceled due to the impending hurricane and they had a bunch of white chocolate Mickeys and nothing to do with them?

And we checked out on Oct 4th (from BWV) so no chocolate Mickey for us . Glad to miss all the hurricane chaos though.

I think you are probably correct. But I am happy that I helped keep Mickey out of the garbage can!

In July, we got the same white chocolate Mickey along with a note welcoming us back. We stayed at BWV, then Vero, then back at BWV and had made a note on the reservations that we were celebrating DS's birthday. On his birthday (at BWV), he got a happy birthday balloon, then at Vero he got a birthday card that had been signed by a few characters, and then back at BWV we got the white chocolate. We were also surprised, as this has never happened before!

A white chocolate mickey & welcome back note were in our BWV villa Sept 28 - such a lovely gesture I still grin every time I open our fridge & he's smiling back (tho I love white chocolate, I love the feeling seeing him gives me more.... guess he's there until someone accidently knocks off one of his body parts)...
Jean - i'm sorry we missed you, but hope you had a fantastic time - hopefully, we can try again next year

Hi, Laurie! So happy to read that white chocolate Mickey arrived at your room also! I guess that means we didn't just get leftovers from some hurricane cancellation! I also am sorry our schedules didn't match up. Sadly, this was our last trip. It became evident on this trip that Bob just can't travel anymore. But I know that you will love your BWV trips enough for both of us.

It must be a BWV thing. I rode out the hurricane at BCV & stayed a night pre-Matthew at BLT. No repeat gift of any kind for me. Congrats to you though! Always a nice surprise.

Oh, sweetie.....I know how much those trips meant to both of you - but I'm sure you & Bob are making many more wonderful memories, just closer to home. my thoughts & prayers are with you, my friend

So sorry to hear this as I've always enjoyed your comments on the rooms and anything BWV related.

I checked in Sunday morning and later that afternoon a cast member came to my room with a similar gift and card.

My gift is salt water taffy with the card attached with ribbon and personalized with our family name in the welcome message, same card as you and similar to what I've received at AKL. The CM stayed and chatted for a bit and actually had a basket of these with her, so it wasn't just me being special.

It's a nice touch and a very much appreciated thought from the company. I will send a thank you note back to them. So far this has been a seamless visit. Usually I'm dealing with room repairs at least once during my trips.

Perhaps the gift is because of the additional construction thanking everyone that stays at BWV despite the inconvenience.

There is no construction at BWV now that I know of.

I thought the exterior was being painted. There is a notice on the DVC MS website for BWV. Plus people have posted that they couldn't use their balconies some days because of the exterior work.

Know Before You Go
Be sure to review the important information below—including notices about refurbishment projects, a pool closure and parking guidelines.

Resort & BoardWalk Area Refurbishments
Upon your arrival at Disney's BoardWalk Villas, you will notice several Resort refurbishments in progress, including renovations to in-room amenities and routine exterior maintenance and painting. In addition, in Disney's BoardWalk area, Flying Fish Cafe is currently being reimagined and will reopen in fall 2016, and Seashore Sweets, Yard Arcade and the retail shop at ESPN Club have closed to make way for new experiences.

While we work on our magic, you will see or hear work in progress, with a possibility of loud noise at times. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause during your stay. This work is expected to be completed in fall 2016.

To avoid damage to personal items due to painting or exterior construction, we suggest you bring all personal belongings from your patio or balcony inside during the hours of 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Hmmm. I didn't see any painting during our recent stay but perhaps I missed it.

Just got back from BWV today. They are doing exterior painting and had scaffolding on the canal side.

We did not receive a chocolate Mickey but Insaw one being delivered to someone down the hall.

 

[SUSIEQ]

At BWV right now. Checked in Saturday. 4th time this year. We never receive any surprises like this.

I noticed that if this happens, it only seems to happen at BWV. We were at BCV Oct 16-22, and nada! And we even let the front desk know (politely I thought) that we weren't happy with our room requests. Come to think of it, maybe complainers don't get chocolate. Darn-I love chocolate!

So sorry to read this, Jean. I like the comment about the happy memories you and Bob are making close to home!
