MS closing Early tomorrow, April 19.

[spiceycat]

MS will be closed tomorrow at 3 pm.

heard it today when I called.

 

[megrod74]

I heard it too when I called. I love how they call it a "Special Event" when it's probably just a meeting

 

[spiceycat]

I am hopping for more....

I got told last year that DVC members will get something special this year - I asked if it was the annual passes and at the time I got told "no"....

so I am still hopping!!!

I just hope it will be news about the Cont....

okay I know I am dreaming....

 

[DrTomorrow]

Ah, SSR's selling so well, it's probably another price increase....

Sorry.

How about this? Everyone staying (on points) at a DVC Resort on May 5th gets two Lifetime Passes. Sounds good to me!

 

[CarolMN]

Well as lovely (and unlikely, LOL) as all those things might be, I think they are getting some training on a new reservation ssystem - one that talks to CRO and allows dining plans to be added to DVC reservations.

 

[4Gus-Gus&Figaro]

I like Dr. Tomorrow's idea! We will be there May 4-10, so we fall in perfectly!

Dr. Tomorrow, will you be there on May 5th? I would be interested in meeting - I thoroughly enjoy your posts!

Duh. Just noticed your countdown. Not always the most observant, I'm afraid...

 

[manning]

Stay six days and get the seventh one free........unlikely.

 

[spiceycat]

hey they did that once at HH - you stayed for 3 days and they gave you a 4th day. It was for December - the only year I have stayed at the DVC HH.

It was great - I paid for Sun-tuesday and they gave me Saturday!!!

but I don't think they need to for the WDW DVC resorts.

 

[SueOKW]

I did hear a rumour of a price increase... $3

 

[wtpclc]

ANyone talked to MS and heard what the big meeting was about yet??

 

[yyzgurl]

I can't stand the suspense!!! Someone tell us what's going on!!!

 

[wtpclc]

I posted a thread on teh DVC Forum too, asking if anyone was calling MS to check on the meeting. Don't know if it will help, but it can't hurt.

Here's the link:

Anyone calling MS this morning?

 

[Terry S]

You know those people at MS are reading this thread and laughing!

 

[wtpclc]

You know those people at MS are reading this thread and laughing!

And your point is?

FYI - Just posted by Greenban on DVC forum:

"Just called MS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually I was on three times this morning with MS. No info revealed with the first 2 DVC AGENTS.

The third agent, said, "...very exciting news..." "...we can't talk about it yet..... ....expect exciting news very shortly..... .....expanding your vacation horizions.....

I then asked DVC property or expanded collection property.....

The guide then got very quiet and said.....Think west coast....

I said, "Hmmm Disney now has a DVC office in CA...."

He said, "Bingo"

That's all I know!

I suspect a CA DVC property is about to be announced, but as always YMMV!

[SueOKW]

I know CA will excite many people.. but to me that's totally boring news!! Not "very exciting news"

And that is a personal preference - i am sure a minority opinion!!!!! And even worse, it's an unsolicited personal opinion!

I think I would be taken aback if a customer called me at work and wanted to know what an employee meeting was about. They probably are not supposed to say.

Maybe not, but someone here usually finds out from someone there. Today, we found out less than 3 hours after MS opened, so it never hurts to ask if anyone's heard anything.

 

[spiceycat]

darn it!!!

I wanted the COnt - not anything in Calif....

oh well - I just might go visit Ca if DVC opens up a DVC resort there.

any information on the Hawaii one?

 

[greenban]

I would hope you would politely respond along these lines......

"I'm sorry but I'm not allowed to (or comfortable with) revealing that information."

As the source of the quotation in question, I can assure you that I had a long and pleasant conversation with DVC Agent #3, before I felt comfortable asking anything. Then I asked, "So what's the big news?"
He replied, "What big news?"
I responded, "Everytime you guys close for a meeting, something Big & Wonderful is about to happen...."
Then he said that he could not release any information yet, that an offical announcement would be coming soon, I replied, "That's fine, I'm not trying to get you in any trouble....."

We then shared a conspiratorial laugh, and the rest of the conversation went as noted.

Also, I did not question Agents # 1 & 2 from my earlier calls, nor did they volunteer anything.

As I said on a moral thread earlier (tongue-in-check before I get extra flames with this post http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=796238) RIGHT is RIGHT and WRONG is WRONG, and my family handles the issue this way.....

To the OP, I still live in a free country, and I have the right to ask anything I want to. I choose to exercise that right, sorry if it upset or offended, or put you off. I would have accepted and respected a, "Sorry I can't discuss that now." reply without complaint.

Further, it wasn't a secret meeting, MS went out of their way to ANNOUNCE to all customers who called, that a special event would close down MS early! Since THEY told me about the meeting, I asked THEM about it?

As a business owner, I would not want employee's with your attitude representing me and my business to my customers or the public, but again that is only my opinion, YMMV.

Tony -BTW, Thanks for asking and sharing the news. It never hurts to ask. Sorry you feel flamed. I really think that I was the one the flame was meant for, but I'd be happy to share. Wow. My first flaming. And it seemed like such an innocent question. (Sorry, I do have a bit of an attittude today. I'll have to work on that.)

Thanks again for the info!
