Ok, what exactly is the merry mixer?

and what do you do there? Would it be worth driving from Jacksonville just to attend? thanks for the info.

they used to be alot of fun. Music, characters, great desert selections, special gift for members... Its been scaled back a good bit. Last year they only offered mass produced cookies and 1 ornment per family. There were still characters and they did have the music/dance party. Just another things thats been scaled down from what it used to be.

Personally I wouldn't drive from out of town unless you were going to make a weekend of it, but at this point I won't go (if I'm already down there) unless I'm planning on being in that area already.

Nothing worth traveling to...even from Old Key West.

I went to it last year and wasn't really impressed. We were staying at BWV and it was held at the International Gateway so it wasn't too far. The thing that I couldn't believe is they offered free apple cidar, but they also had cans of Coke at the bar. They wanted $4 a can! Seriously?

I agree with the others. The Mixer is not as Merry as it used to be.

It's like "Welcome Home Wednesdays" which is also put on by the DVD Marketing Department. If you are at WDW with time on your hands and nothing to do, it is worth doing at least once.

thanks everyone. I think we'll just skip it this year.
