OK OK OK I have to know.......

[TheWho]

I love when they talk about those "tiny" BW rooms and looooong walk to the elevators in both spanish and english. (only kidding, funny thread)

BTW, I'm a proud BW owner.

 

[raidermatt]

I'm with the rest of you. When we last went, (2000), the DVC channel was just about all that we had on, especially in the morning. At home, I love to watch the planning videos. Anything that shows the parks/resorts.

 

[Granny]

Okay, you guys are scaring me now!

I'm glad I didn't run across this thread when I was looking at buying into DVC....I would have thought I was not qualified as having enough of an addiction!!!

That said, I'm sure I will be checking out the infomercial next time I go. The two trips we have taken our children, the only TV we watched was the Disney bed time stories.

 

[maureenmac]

Yes, I admit it. I use the DVC channel at DVC as a "nightlight". I also send for each new tape as they come out.

 

[AZKathy]

You guys have me rolling on the floor! I thought I was the only one that watched those stations while vacationing! I hope they change them soon; they have been the same for a few years now.

The only time we watched any other channels while there was when a hurricaine was heading our way and we watched the weather channel to see what the hurricaine was doing!!!!!

 

[Mrs. Snowgod]

We are all sick and demented. But I think it's because we don't really want to allow reality to seep in to our WDW visit home!

And the DIS boards are just as good as any support group for this addiction!

 

[teri]

...busted! Yep, we watch them all. English and Spanish. Heartwarming, sedating, lulling... hmmmm... maybe it is time to go see if there are any good points deals posted today....

:::she suddenly drops into a trance-like state...::

 

[patsal]

It's like having a support group on line! Every few weeks I ask the kids if they want to watch the "free" tapes. Of course they think I'm off my rocker anyway (LOL). When at WDW that TV is on the whole time we're in the room and it does make a wonderful night light!

 

[DeDixie]

Ok.... add my name to the list. I never would have thought to ask this question ... I would have been too embarrased.

I love the DVC tape, Cruise tape, WDW planning tapes ( I even save the old ones, though I only watch the latest version) and MIckey Around the World. I also beg my kids to watch them with me. My DH just rolls his eyes.

Yes, the Disney info channels are on the whole time we are "home".

Remember this one: Zip it dee doo dah -- tip for today.

 

[travelbug]

Somewhere along the line, I got TWO different DVC tapes. It isn't at all unusual for me to sit down and play both of them back to back. Johnnie Fedora, I can identify with you having some of the lines memorized!! Me too! lol

Has anyone else ever noticed that most of the wives on the video ramble on and on while their husbands can't get a word in edgewise?? That would be me! I would merrily blab on and on about how wonderful DVC is until someone off-camera would have to yank me out of the picture with a cane.

I laugh at myself sometimes for being so gung-ho about my DVC ownership. But then I think how lucky I am to have something that brings me so much pleasure!! You too?

 

[perdidobay]

when DH and I were at BWV and VWL last week and passed by the DVC sales desks, we would want to run up to the people checking it out there and yell "just do it!"
On the other hand, we thought, maybe we should keep this great secret to ourselves
PS I too have the "tape" addiction

 

[Johnnie Fedora]

Just have to let everyone know that I'm waiting for a first hand report from those of you who will be DVCing in the next weeks. Have they updated the DVC channel to include BCV??? I will have disguise my voice and call for a new sales tape.

 

[Boardwalk Garry]

Funny, I thought the exact same thing about the in-laws!! I love mine, but I'm not too sure about spending my Disney time with them! It's suppose to be a break from reality!

 

[Kick it up a notch!]

This is pretty weird, I watch the tape for the couple of weeks before I go and my wife makes fun of me and thinks it is strange. Even my 10 year old thinks it's weird, I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!!

 

[Nala62]

We had our first-ever vacation to WDW last August, and I watched this addictive tape over and over!! Every time I curled a daughter's hair or packed water bottles for the park, IT was on. Initially my DH said NO WAY!! But, as we're going back this May, primarily at his choosing, he'll hopefully consider it now!
Meanwhile I'll continue lurking here to pick up the "lingo"! Thanks new friends!

WAAAAA--my Rams lost!!!inkbounc

When we were at Vero this weekend, they actually had a copy of the tape that's currently running on the TV (the same one at WDW) right there in the room for you to take!

And, as a sidenote, I was surprised to find a VCR in our Ocean View Inn Room - I know we don't have them in the studios at OKW.

Anyway... I resisted, and didn't take the tape, only to get home Monday night and my DH pulled it out of his bag!

Now we have three.... Sheesh - we could make an evening of it!!

 

[Dreamfinder2]

And to further compound the addiction, when I was down week before last on my "recon" trip, I took a camcorder and videoed every nook and cranny of the models and a 1BR at OKW I talked a CM into letting me peek in.

Now, to complement the "official" video, I've got one I made myself, with my own voiceover, and I inflict it on anyone who will sit still for about 15 minutes.

My family prays for me an awful lot these days.

 

[MikeScott8]

dreamfinder2,

can you make copies of that! I know I would like it, and others may as well. When My fiance and I were down there I kept putting the DVC channel on and going "ooh" and "aah". I was a lot more into getting into DVC, and did it pushing her. She didn't really need much more than getting to OKW and haveing a relaxing trip! and we signed up that week.

My husband has also showed the tape to his whole family, to try to persuade them to come with us! Now he wants to buy a camcorder just so he can make his own DVC video to entice them with. What should I do? I don't want my mother in law to come to WDW with us! Maybe he can take them on his own.

 

[llp479]

This thread has provided me with many laughs. Going home to BWV on Saturday, and yes, I'm sure we'll watch the video, too. However, I will watch with a HUGE smile on my face thinking of all of you!

PS - We made our au pair watch it after reading all these posts!
