Magical Gatherings for all?

[chernabog]

I'm trying to clear up some confusion about the new Magical Gatherings. The little bit that I've read about this program makes me believe that it is only for guests who book their trips through a WDW travel agent. If that's the case, does that leave members who belong to the DVC out in the cold? The reason I'm asking is because my family and I will be leaving in less than a month . There are 9 of us going together and were meeting up with 5 others and we would like to take advantage of some Magical Gatherings perks. If anyone knows, some information would be appreciated.

special perks. I thought it was just their theme for the year.

I am a DVC member and I am planning a magical gathering. Of course this was stared before it was officially announced by Disney. So proud of myself to have done something before it was public knowledge.

There is a separate division of Disney that has to deal with functions. I didn’t realize this until I wanted to use the ATTIC at BW for a party. It was too expensive and didn’t include food! I tried for a Illuminations Cruise, well, I didn’t make that either, too many want them for the first week in December. A nice CM told me about different options available and would I be interested? I said of course…….

My CM told me of prices, options etc. We are doing a dinner at Mexico and then a dessert party with preferred viewing of Illuminations at the tower in Japan. Dinner for 12, including 1 margarita per person, and the dessert party is still LESS than just the ATTIC.

All the CM;s were nice, helpful and didn’t care that I had not booked my vacation through them.

If you want phone numbers, please PM me and I’ll provide.

Good Luck. I can’t wait for our first Magical Gathering!

P.S. I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but this is the only information I have on the Magical Gatherings by Disney. I'm sure someone at Disney could give you more information.
