So what do we all think about the Travel Channel Special??

[mello]

I felt like I was watching an extended DVC DVD...

It did make me want to add on though! At our home AKL...

I don't like the BLT rooms anymore than I did before. They give me a retro/ikea-ish feel. I do want to stay there at least once though.

We said the same thing ("This is like one of the videos they send out"). And we're of the same mind on BLT as well.

Thanks! That is sincerely the way we feel about our DVC. It is purely about happiness and joy for us and making that a priority along with our duties. If you work hard and do what you need to do for your family etc., then you've earned the right to a life that also has it's joyful moments.

The girls were too cute. I will say my twins were jelous your twins got to go lol.
We were selected as the couple who went to San fFrancisco with our friends it was a fun filled day shooting. I thought the production team did a fantastic job... even with my umm well rewind lol.. hilarious..

I didn't read through all of the replies, but here's a bit of what I liked and didn't like! I loved the spa treatments! The girls are adorable! I loved all of the lime green too - cool shout out to the DISers! I liked that they showed SSR at all - I wasn't sure it would be on there for some reason. As for the trips outside of Disney, it does make me want to travel someday. I'm petrified of flying so I've stayed in the US, but I want to go to London so bad! Maybe one day we will. We may or may not use points because I know the trade isn't great but, big deal....

I didn't like that they mentioned the family of 12 owns at BCV yet they were obviously at BWV (ETA but was never made clear) in a GV. I thought that the families appeared extremely wealthy. I don't mean that in a mean way at all and I apologize in advance if it comes off that way. I can appreciate and respect each family that was on the show, but I guess it seemed like I'd have been turned off if I wasn't already informed about DVC. I guess I would have looked at the show and thought "Gee, attorney, paint production company owner, sure, WE can afford THAT!?" I dunno. I looked at my DH and actually told him I hoped our friends weren't tuning in.

Otherwise, aside from those few things, I loved seeing Disney things as always, I loved seeing the smiles on all of the faces, you can't fake those! I missed the last few minutes so I have to still watch the BLT part. I'll probably just re-watch it all later because I'm really bored today!

ETA - I know how hard it can be to get a point across on here so I really want to stress I mean nothing bad by the wealth comment at all. I really just want to make that soooooo clear because it isn't bad to appear wealthy, but the show just made DVC look like it might be unattainable to those with smaller pockets. No one on the show ever looked snobby which I do believe has a different appearance than wealthy, but by wealthy maybe I see it as points and such..... who knows!

Does anyone know when it is suppose to be on again? I saw some of it on the Disney Wonder during the 2008 DVC member cruise. They had it playing by the family pool.

Hey Neighbor.. (next state) You're ok... I can't imagine anyone thinking otherwise. I think you summed things up pretty well. Hope you stick around on the DVC boards and help with your objective posting.

Hi hi neighbor and thanks!

As for the show - I never got to re-watch the show today. Maybe tomorrow...

Funny, about the BWV family using SAB... not their fault though ! What's even more crazy is that I hadn't been on the Dis for a few days maybe even weeks because I'd been busy, but I was waiting to hear more news about BLT and I turned it off when the show had about 10 minutes left so I hadn't even heard the news about BLT. THEN the other day, I checked my mail and saw two emails from DVC plus some message board emails and I knew something special happened so I headed straight over here to find out! Should have watched the whole thing!

Another thing though - I must say that all the children on the show are well behaved and did a great job and should be very proud of how great they looked! All seemed extremely polite and well mannered!
