New DVC Sales Center on Long Island, NY

[BlakeNJ]

I received the e-mail announcing the new DVC Sales Center in LI. Just wondering if anyone has heard of any updates as to when this sales office will open. It sounds as if the Chicago area sales center has some great incentives. Just wondering if I should wait and add on when the new place opens.

The member events sound special too! I am really looking forward to it opening.

Where on LI?

 

[BlakeNJ]

I think Garden City in a mall. I'll have to go back to the e-mail and see exactly where.

there is another thread or two in here. It is opening on or about August 1 and it will be at the Roosevelt Field Mall in Nassau County. I think it is either Westbury or Garden City.

News release:


Scheduled to open later this summer, Disney’s Doorway to Dreams will offer Roosevelt Field visitors and Long Island, N.Y.-area residents a convenient and exciting way to learn firsthand about Disney Vacation Club, an innovative vacation-ownership program that helps families enjoy flexibility and savings on decades of future vacations.

Disney’s Doorway to Dreams will showcase the accommodations at Disney Vacation Club resort hotels, which are spacious and offer numerous home-like amenities. These vacation villas provide families with a place to relax and spend quality time together either at Disney destinations worldwide or at more than 500 other popular vacation locations around the world. This convenient mall location will give them a glimpse of the choices they have, from a magical stay at the Walt Disney World Resort or a relaxing cruise aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship to a family-friendly, interactive Adventures by Disney trip or an exotic jaunt to South America.

“Our first Disney’s Doorway to Dreams location has been very popular and a great way for Chicago-area residents and visitors to learn more about the family vacation experiences available through Disney Vacation Club,” said Disney Vacation Club President Jim Lewis. “Now, we are delighted to bring Disney’s Doorway to Dreams to New York, which is one the top markets for our rapidly growing membership base, so that more people can discover all that Disney Vacation Club has to offer.”

To help families envision just what those vacations will entail, Disney’s Doorway to Dreams, located at Roosevelt Field on Long Island, NY, will feature a full-scale, two-bedroom model of the vacation home accommodations Disney Vacation Club members and their families can expect to find at Disney Vacation Club resort hotels.

“Disney has always been a unique and innovative leader in the timeshare industry,” said Howard C. Nusbaum, chief executive officer of the American Resort Development Association (ARDA). “Now, Disney’s Doorway to Dreams allows New York-area families the chance to experience how a timeshare ownership can help ensure years and years of memorable family vacations.”

Designed to create a fun and immersive experience, Disney’s Doorway to Dreams is planned to go beyond featuring model accommodations to offer an interactive family vacation discovery zone, comfortable discussion areas and a supervised children’s play area within its approximately 6,900 square feet of retail space.

in Roosevelt Field Mall, Garden City (Nassau County, near the Nassau/Queens border).
take northern state or southern state parkway to meadowbrook parkway(from NSP go south, from SSP go north).
look for signs saying Shopping Mall.

as a point of reference for many, the mall is not far from Hofstra University.

I am from Chicago, and they opened ours on August 1st of 2007.

They had some really nice grand opening specials, we chose to add-on to our DVC membership during the grand opening in Chicago.

Make sure to RSVP since it should be very popular!

What kind of incentives are we talking about.....Were there any incentives for small add-ons?
Thanks

I'm thinking about a small add on, an incentive would just give me the final push I need!!!

Roosevelt Field Mall is about 20 minutes or so from the Queens border.

it takes about 10 minutes (with moderate local traffic & lights) to drive my friend to her home in queens ...hence the "close to nassau/queens border", rather than "at nassau/queens border".

fyi, it takes a minimum of 40 minutes (more often, closer to 50 minutes+) to drive from my home in suffolk (again, "near" not "at" the suffolk/nassau border) to RF mall.

hope that clarified things

I think at the grand opening in Chicago, you needed to buy at least 75 points to get an incentive.

When I added on, I got 100 points, $10 off per point, plus the equivalent in developer points, plus a Disney gift card and I think there was something else. That was in 2007, so they won't repeat the same deal again.

At the Doorway to Dreams Event in Chicago last week, there were some event-only deals too, $5 off per point, a free Disney cruise, Mary Poppins tickets. Here is the thread if you want to read about the event:

Amen, especially since we just added on 200 BCV.

I'm originally from Queens and it took me 20 minutes on the highway (Clearview, Grand Central to Northern State, then Meadowbrook). Bayside area. Where is your friend from?

I live about 6 miles from Roosevelt Field Mall. Taking the streets, it takes 15-20 minutes!
