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

Count me in as another addicted Disney person. One of the first things I do when we get in our villa is turn on the Disney channels. I watch them all DVC, Cruise Line, etc. I also love the jingle "If you believe in magic, you belong" and really when you think about it, it is so true!

Only a true Disney addict would understand!

This is too funny! We just bought on Monday (and I'll have to say we watched the tape several times before then).

However, my four year old watches the DVC tape followed by the WDW planning video daily, sometimes doing the whole cycle more than once.

I am thrilled to know that there are others that do this too!! When we were at Disney I watched the DVC channel over and over again too. My husband thought I was nuts and kept changing it. We haven't bought into the DVC yet BUT I WANT TOO!!! That's why I'm here. I'm trying to get some idea of how it works and if people really like it and so on. I figure as much as we go, the thing would pay for itself in 5 years. I just wish I had taken the "tour" while we were there but at the time we didn't even own our own home and I felt that I needed to get my head out of the clouds and remember what my priorities are. Well, now we have the house and hubby and I are talking about our next Disney trip. I figure w/ the DVC it will have paid for itself in 5 years and we would still have 35 more to go!! I'm kind of confused reading the boards but I did request info to be sent to me. I hope that helps unravel the confusion of it all.

Wouldn't it be funny if the propaganda tape really had subliminal messages "come back, come back" and that's why we watched it so much?

Too Funny - I was SURE we were the only ones who watch the "propaganda channels".

We actually called it the "propaganda channel" to a guide at Vero once - he didn't seem to like that term too much! LOL!

If you watch closely on the part with the couple talking about the studio now, then using the points later to bring the mother in law you will notice the husband doing a little positive head nod until the mention of the mother-in-law, then he does a hint of a subconscious shaking of his head! Too funny!

Gearjammin101....welcome to the DIS boards!

I know that when I first lurked on this board (looked but no posts), I was a little intimidated by all the knowledge, abbreviations, slang and "inside jokes" on the board. But if you ask a straightforward question, no matter how dumb you think it may be, you will almost always get a prompt, accurate answer. You may get some unsolicited opinion too, but you can sort through that for yourself.

Good luck with the info packet....lotsa stuff in there. Don't be shy about calling your guide often if necessary. And don't be shy about coming back here....we're just a big family with as many characters as any big family would have.

Thanks for the invite. You said exactly how I feel. I do have many questions but like you said, I feel intimidated by all the knowledge and lingo and such. I appreciate you taking the time to write.

Hey gearjammin101, fellow Delawarian here. Let me know if you have any questions!!

DeeP... my kids love for me to go in and out of the DVC site so we can here the "if you beleive in magic you belong" song.

 

[Suzi Q]

Maybe we should form a DVC Anonymous group and hold our meetings at WDW.

Good luck with the info packet....lotsa stuff in there.

You know, I sent for info from the website, and got the video almost immediately, but no info packet. I called DVC and they said, oh, it is coming. It has been a while now. The video is cute, but it doesn't do it for me. I want info, point charts, room plans--- what all is in there, anyway?
