Just returned from OKW.....Members Meeting Update

[ncligs]

Just returned from OKW, spent 6 days there in in a 2BR-lock-off(6 people).Just a little info on the trip...... Busses at OKW, never waited more than 15 minutes.We flew down from Ohio and rented a car, mainly for off-site restraunts,Pleasure Island,etc.The weather ranged from mid 60's to a high of 80 on wednesday.
Went to parks only 2 days, saturday and monday.Monday was more crowded. Average wait on rides was half hr-45 minutes if you didn't use "Fast Pass", We got to the parks at opening and left by 5:00 pm.
DVC Members Update meeting was on tuesday morning at OKW.It was standing room only(45-60 people.)The guide who was in charged talked about the BCV's and general DVC info.
He did say that The Disney Institute Villas will be all new, not re-furbished.There will be no GV's at the DI Villas.He also said Eagle Pines is still on the agenda to be built after the DI Villas.
During the meeting there was an elderly woman from Ohio, who won a prize for being the oldest DVC Member(bought membership in late 91), the guide asked her how many points she has........ well her answer even caught the DVC Guide by surprise, she has "1,200 points" the guide asked her if she would adopt him!!!!!!!!!
We stayed in building 14, across from check-in. We requested that building when we made ressies, (so in-laws wouldn't have far to walk to pool,Olivias, Conchos,etc. Everything was "1st class" as usual for our stay.
Both of our plane rides from pittsburgh (US Air) were jammed packed, no empty seats. No hassles at the airport, got their 1 and 1/2 hrs early and had no lines .
Any other questions, feel free to ask.
Can't wait for next trip............VB in June

Was it the oldest member in age or the longest membership?
What was the prize?

GAIL HAYDEN,

The prize was for the longest being a DVC member, not her age.
She did look to be in her 60's though.I think she won a deck of cards.The prizes were not that great.
