Going to be there Dec 11th so excited to see what it’s about!

We will be there on Sunday! My sister will be our only guest, and I’m glad she can go in.

I think this is another nice surprise. I know that DVC management can’t do anything about park reservations or APs, so it seems they’re trying this way to encourage direct buys.

The tavern is very small. I would guess something to pick up quick and leave.
Maybe a copy of your dues statement ☺.

You mean to encourage mvmcp ticket sales?

Well, that sucks. We go on the 18th and they are skipping that night :-(

All nights were already sold out before this offering was announced.

For real? Odd but ok.

I'm not sure what the play is there as you hit such a small portion of the membership base.

Maybe just to give those already there something nice? Like they did when they came out with the little Halloween event in October.

It may not be anything large, but it is still nice that those of us attending to have one more things to enjoy that night.

Last year there was a private viewing area for fireworks during the After Hours Christmas party. It was where the plaza viewing reserved area typically takes place. Unnecessary? Sure. But we did appreciate having a place to hang out and sit while watching the fireworks and parade.

Even though it's just a small thing, they can use it as a selling point - "Look at all the special events we hold for direct buyers!" Particularly when they can't offer APs.

I am curious whose budget is paying for this. Is it a DVD, Inc. item or a DVC members' item?

Based on the description (which limits this to qualifying direct sales), I am guessing this is from DVD, Inc.

If it's restricted to owners eligible for Membership Extras, it's paid for via the DVD marketing budget. If DVC dues paid, it would have to be open to all owners.

DVD pays for all membership extras which are considered incidental benefits,

Dues can not used to pay for any perks, and benefits, even if open to all.

DVD pays for the Epcot lounge and Moonlight Magic?

Correct. They also now pay something to lease TOTWL to keep it part of membership extras.

Much of those costs come from their marketing budget..whether they have other pieces of their budget that are used, I don’t know.

But, dues can only be used to cover the expenses of the resort and the extras can not. It’s outlined in detail in the FL timeshare as well.

For me the big difference between the Halloween event and this one is the Halloween event did not require you to have purchased a special event ticket to attend.

Oh man. Maybe they get real crazy and have a SPECIAL PIN.
