Awesome! How long is the DVC schpiel? Are they persistent? Do they offer incentives for listening to the talk while at WDW? I would love do do a
Disney cruise!!!
The only incentives for listening to the talk at WDW is FPs to replace your time from the park, I think its several any-attraction FPs. The DVC schpiel on the ship is approximately 45 minutes, on land generally about an hour, several hours if you actually buy. If you're thinking about buying though, check out resale options first, and save a ton 'o moola (unless you want a brand new resort or there's another reason for wanting direct, like Disney is ROFRing contracts for a resort with a wait list, etc). The good news is they're very low pressure, but it is enticing. The way my salesperson (guide) put it, mainly they're pitching it to Disney fans to get them to commit to coming back and buy Mouse Ears and tickets and spend money in restaurants every year. While they still are making a healthy profit, its not nearly as pushy as other timeshare sales pitches I've been to, since they know they have kind of a captive audience with us Disney enthusiasts ...
Ooooh, yes... Mickey mail should be here soon! Wahoo!!
Do DVC-ers get Mickey mail? I've never gotten any for DLR. We're taking ME ...
To clarify - he was cleared to go to their house in Florida. They haven't made a decision on the Disney trip yet. They're actually supposed to come home for Thanksgiving too but no idea if that will happen either. Florida is good for them - no staircases and good weather. His recovery is going well but still nothing definitive.
Ah, so you're still in Binary plan mode?
LOL!! My brother told me last month that they wanna go to Disney at the same time we're going. He and his wife have been there but only for conferences. Great! It would be wonderful to have the cousins there together! I said. I proceeded to tell him about the discounts going on at the time and about making ADR's blah, blah, blah...Told him about FLE and BOG. He said his daughter would love BOG and could I change our ressie from 4 people to 8
! Uhmmmmm...sure!
Well, as of today they don't have a room or any ADR'S!! According to them, they're still going
. Rock on my brother, Rock on!
This cracked me up. Some people can just plan last minute like that and be totally happy with the trip they end up with. There's a thread on the DVC boards about spontaneous trips, and for people who go all the time, its apparently enjoyable, but for someone who has only gone for conferences before? Wow. I'd love to hear what they end up doing if they do go with a under-2-month-DisneyWorld plan.
Canon A2300
Pic is from
Amazon, but I bought it from
Walmart for the same price and it came with a case and SD card.
I NEVER take pictures except for vacations. I have no idea why. So I usually just borrow my mom's camera, but decided I wanted my own this time.
Oooh, that's a pretty camera. I'm terrible at taking pictures other than vacations as well ... when my son looks back at his childhood albums he's going to think he grew up at
Disneyland/
DCL/ski resorts/weddings of friends. Ironic considering we live in on of the most picturesque places on earth that I never remember to take pictures here.
We'll be there in the PM. I'll have to make myself a LGMH!
Me too! Never snagged one before Home Depot stopped carrying them. But it does seem like nearly everybody is going to be at DHS that evening doesn't it? Guess that ruins my hopes of a short TSMM line. That's okay, the kids love it but we have it at Disneyland, too, so its not at the top of my list.
While we were talking last night, I brought up how I was super excited for our nice night out (California Grill), and thought of it as a mini date night. She laughed, and said "Psh, we both know how we act together. The entire trip will be a date." She then blushed, and had one of the biggest smiles I've ever seen.
Oh, that is so awesome!
Love to watch stories like this unfold.
Dude... I hope you get everything you want out of your trip. You go down with a friend and come back with a girlfriend, congrats. You go down with a friend and come back with still, just a friend, that's cool too.
PS: I wouldn't give out too much info about where you'll be staying. Some of the more creative DIS-ers here, might arrange for your 2 bed room, to become a king size bed room.
Oh BDL, you're giving us ideas ...
Finally have caught up on most of the 3 threads and finally getting excited. Not sure what the deal was with this trip but didn't have the spark as previous trips have. AND this is a wild trip WDW and DL in one day and NO KIDS OR HUSBANDS.
Love No Kids trips!
I check for them and snakes I have read two threads on here where people found snakes in their room in one of them it was in their bed. Yikes!
I've seen those pictures of members who found snakes in their villas on the DVC threads, and they freak me out. Growing up on Maui I didn't know I had a snake phobia til someone offered to let me hold their pet snake when I was 20 or so ...
And Congrats Nickle831!
The general consensus from the Disney Board was 'what the ....
?!?!?' so I'm sure I am not crossing any lines when it comes to possibly being mistaken for any known trademarked character.
If you have NOT yet purchased tickets and you will be entering DHS in the afternoon (for the first time that day) on 12/17 or AK on the morning of 12/19, PM me. First person to respond with corresponding dates and times will get a fabulous surprise!
