Merry Mixer - Anyone go yet? Photos?

[Tinkermom3]

Anyone been to the Merry Mixer yet? We leave on Thursday 12/18 and are planning on attending on Friday 12/19.

What was it like? Was it crowded? Did you get a gift? What characters were there? Is an hour enough time as we probably cannot get there until 4pm (mixer runs 3p-5p). If anyone has photos I would love to see them!

It was packed, wall to wall people.
We received once inside, a Christmas rice crispie treat and a DVC ornament when we left. You could also buy and trade pins (long lines)
Getting there at 4pm will be fine.
Characters, were Goofy, Donald and Daisy.
It was fine to do once.

I posted a few pics of the Merry Mixer on my "Live from VWL/Poly" thread on the Mousecellaneous forum HERE.

We were there on 12/12. We really liked it! We just got home last night, so the pictures are still on my photopass. We too received a Rice Krispie Treat (one each) and a DVC ornament (one per family). We played/danced/took pictures with Pluto, Goofy, Minnie, Mickey, Donald and Daisy! The kids (and I ) did a conga line with Goofy and Pluto and I was right behind Miss Deevy See--she was pretty funny! It was very crowded, but kinda nice since it was just for us. They had free cider and a cash bar. $7 for a corona !
We also entered a raffle for a gift basket. I was so excited to see the characters, though, I didn't take time to study the basket.
HTH!
