Sept 4-8 2005 Wonder S.S. Member Cruise! Part 2

[alikat99]

For those that got the TSV from QVC, I actually ended up getting an email from QVC, saying that they are going to be sending out replacements in late Sept.

Back in 1995 my sister, dad and I went to WDW for the first time in 11 years. We went back two years later, DL the next, and then back to WDW in 1999. By 2000 we were going down every six months. I had been reading the DVC boards on AOL - before I discovered the DIS- and knew it was a great deal. I didn't have the $$ but knew my sister did so I began to hatch my evil plot. I kept mentioning DVC to her, but she was unsure. On our Halloween trip in 2000 she decided she would look into it. As usual, though, our park commando mode never really left us time for the tour. So on our last day we headed to the MK for a ride on the train since we had never made it on this trip and it's a tradition for us. As we exit the bus we see the blue DVC van, a sign? We decide to walk into the office by the hat shop to get some info. Next thing we know the train ride is forgotten we're in the blue van headed for the sales center at BWV. We explain to the rep we have an 1 1/2 to hear the spiel, walk back to BC to get our luggage and get in our rent a car to go to MCO for our flight home. He was quick and convincing and Janet made plans for him to send the paperwork to the house. I think she bought 200 points. A few years later BCV went on sale and she added on. On our West Coast cruise this May/June we decided to do an add-on at SSR with me as a co-owner. They couldn't do that so we bought a joint contract and bought enough to get the free points, too. It's addicting.

The UPS man was here! The UPS man was here!



Unfortunately no docs...just my QVC TSV!



At least I know he knows where I live. Hopefully our documents will come tomorrow!

Boo Hoo on no Docs!!

But YEA!! on QVC TSV!!

I got my docs today just like Diana, but unfortunately dear Mom & Dad did not. His UPS guy did wave to him as he drove by though.

I know Im late on this, but,,
But about deciding on DVC.
We had been through the Westgate presentation and had basically prepaid for a week.
We were using our week there and had to go to another presentation.
We liked it alot, but DID NOT like the high pressure tatics.
My DH had heard about DVC and begged me to,
We went and liked what we saw, but we were waiting for Davids 1 year post surgery check up.
We told them we were interested, but we couldnt sign anything that day.
We went home and dreamed and managed to save a bit of money.
Davids appt, was in Gainsville and he got a good report.
We called DVC and told them to get the docs ready, we were coming down to buy.
That was in94.
We loved it so much and borrowed the 1st year.
We were going to add 100 points, but they showed us pictures of VB and were offering an incredible deal.
We were offered park addmission when we used our VB points at OKW until 1999.
So 370 did us fine for 5 years.
Then we moved to Memphis and I became a TDS CM.
Through some special offers and a nice discout, we have brough our total to 900.
220 OKW, 150 VB, 100 OKW, 100, VB. 100 OKW, 100 BCV and 130 SSR.

I know Im late again, but Robin Im glad you are safe.
Sorry to hear about you car,
i didnt realize TN had a no fault ticket.

 

[Stitch#1]

That really isn't right. We live 10 minutes apart. I don't know why you wouldn't have yours. Now it would be funny if Stacy gets hers today and you don't. THAT would be some sort of conspiracy against you!

The conspiracy has begun!!!! :rotfl2:

The docs were waiting for us when we got home tonight.
I call my parents house and said
"Hi"
and my dad says
"Don't tell me you got them"
so I reply
"Ok I wont tell you"

 

[WDWLVR]

Congratulations to everyone who is doing the document dance.


I'm sure the rest of us will be getting them tomorrow or Friday.

I got this email also. I haven't even opened the box yet. I was busy looking through my cruise docs!

 

[Stitch#1]

I forgot to mention.
Not only did I get my docs today but I got a nice phone call from Calandra at DVC's share the magic to say I should have a fedex tomorrow with $200 Disney Dollars for referring a friend who is now a proud DVC owner!!
WOO HOO!!!

 

[WDWLVR]

Jenny - great news on the docs!


Stacy - very nice! Konk Koolers are on Stacy!

Emily is the same way. Sometimes I don't fight with her, if we're not going out of the house. But YIKES, some of the stuff she puts together.

I was way behind, been busy working on DH's Pirate Costume--he wants to dress for Pirate night. But had to comment on this one.

We were in Penny's when DS#1 was 3 (he is now 28). He wanted a bandanna to wear to play cowboys with the neighborhood kids and insisted on pink. I told him that the other boys might tease him about a pink one as many people consider it a girl-color but he did not care. After we left that area, him holding the bandanna, an elderly lady came up to me and told me she was glad I had let him make his own choice. She also wanted me to know that when she was a child, pink was a boy color and blue was a girl color since the Virgin Mary wore blue.

Things change with time.

And, Diana--the girls pictures are lovely. Wish I could come to the party to entertain the in-laws. I am better with other people's in-laws than my own. Sometimes I pretend that mine are really someone elses and then I am better with them. When we used to live in Rensselaer County coming to the party would have been easy to do.

Ok I have a favor to ask anyone who has already gotten their docs. What does your status on the Disney Cruise site say. I just looked at ours and it says "Booked".


They don't call me a worry wart for nothing.

 

[TnRobin]

Still no docs in middle Tennessee.

Mary - I don't have docs, but I am "Booked" also. I think this is because we are a charter trip and DVC is handling all the "payments".

 

[Stitch#1]

Jenny - great news on the docs!


Stacy - very nice! Konk Koolers are on Stacy!

Yea I don't think so!
Nothing personel I love you guys but that money is bookmarked for the special pin & all the scrapbooking stuff they sell on the ship!!!

Oh sure your dad will have us all over for Thanksgiving but you won't buy us a drink! Don't worry I don't drink!

DCL called me today. I have a PO Box and they needed my street address. I know that when I booked the cruise I gave them both the PO and street address. This happens a lot. I always make sure that I give both because I never know how they ship anything. I don't know what they do with my physical address after I give it to them, it always seems to get lost. I hate having a PO box, but the Post office does not deliver to my street. Any way she said that the docs. were going out today and they would be here Fri/Mon. at the latest. I can't wait!
