What is DVC dinner? We've only been members for 3 or 4 years and never heard of this.

Based on a search of the DVC forums here, I found the following information about past DVC Member Thanksgiving dinners:

Offered in: 2019, 2016, 2015, 2014 (possibly earlier but the search didn't return any earlier years).

The reviews I found were almost universally negative. The general feeling was that it was overpriced and at best average in food/quality.

"Did it the first year the offered it and it felt like a business convention lunch. Everything about the experience was average at best. We would not do it again."

"We did it 2 years ago [2017] and would not do it again. It felt cold and impersonal...the opposite of what I think Thanksgiving should feel like!"

"We went to the DVC Thanksgiving dinner last year [2014]. I think it may have been even more expensive then, can't exactly recall. It certainly was NOT worth it, felt like a very basic business convention meal. Would not recommend."

"We also attended the Thanksgiving dinner last year [2014] and will NOT be attending this year. While the food was good, the service lacked a lot. We had stacks of dirty dishes on our table before anyone came to take them away. You had to line up for the characters which meant your food got cold. The desserts were basically worthless except for the kids rice crispy treats. Initially, there was no ice for the ice tea and you had to drink your ice tea out of a paper cup. Coffee and water were available but, the thing that really got me was the fact that I had to pay for any soft drink that my family wanted. And it was not free refills! You got a can and if you wanted more to drink, you had to go buy another can at $2.50 each. I had just paid almost $100 per person for a meal and then had to pay for my soft drinks."
