Recent/Upcoming Welcome Home Wednesdays

[ksoehrlein]

I attended a WHW when I was on a business trip in February 2007. I won an ice scraper and everyone who attended received a DVC 15th anniversary hat. I wouldn't want to skip out on park time to attend one, but it wasn't a bad diversion from my business trip!

We are heading back to BWV the week before Easter. It looks like the crowds will be MASSIVE, so I'm looking for a few things to do outside of the parks. I have a broken wrist, so I'm not planning on much pool time for myself. Is it worth going to WHW solo while DH and DKids go for a swim? Are they still giving away hats and door prizes? Any other DISers planning on attending on 3/19?

Forgive my ignorance, but I've never heard of this. What is it?

From the DVC Member site:

Welcome Home Wednesdays is the newest Member event at the Walt Disney World® Resort. These interactive gatherings take place on most Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m. inside Atlantic Dance Hall at Disney's BoardWalk entertainment district. They present Members and their family and friends with the latest Disney Vacation Club scoops and exciting updates - through a high-energy, interactive game show. Deevy See, a beloved diva at many Member events, is among the zany cast of characters who may be the game show's surprise host on any given date.

Members and their family and friends enjoy light refreshments while testing their knowledge in a variety of Disney categories, including Home Resorts, Perks, "Where in the World?," and the ever popular "Mousellaneous."

Schedules and locations for Welcome Home Wednesdays are subject to change, so be sure to look for details in your check-in folder during your next Walt Disney World® vacation.

Thank you for posting that. We're in the process of closing on our resale and would love to attend that when we go there in August.
