Just in case someone didn't read the post I had originally posted into,
I just got mine about an hour ago. I too joined in mid-September and was told by the DVC that the giclee and planning guide was only being shipped to those who had signed up prior to mid-August.
So I had written it off because I was ineligible.
Thank you DVC for a wonderfully unexpected Chrismas gift.
I also closed in Sept. and just received my print sometime between Friday and Tuesday. We were out of town so my neighbor picked it up. Will have to see if she asks any questions about it.
