Where does the Swag come from?

[Broker]

I've seen some coolers, some caps, some shirts, etc around. Where do these things come from? We got the initial bag but I would feel funny using it as a ballcap.

We've gotten "stuff" at Welcome Home Wednesdays and the summer member/block parties.

Thanks for the reply. Is this free stuff or do you pay for it. I'm good either way but just curious.

It's free at the parties - we've gotten hats (3 different ones), pins, and water bottle holder/coolers.

You can also buy stuff in gift shops.

We've also - occasionally - gotten free stuff at check in. We got a 15 year DVC anniversary pin a few years back and carved wooden giraffe magnets on our last stay at AKV. They sent 15th anniversary giclee prints to all members a few years ago & we got the tote-bag at purchase and when we added on.

Swag at the parties and promotional events is often free--won in raffles etc. In addition, the stores at the DVCs themselves usually sell hats, pins, golf shirts etc. with a changing stock of DVC or resort-specific logos.

Where do Welcome Home Wednesdays take place? Are there any details on what the event is like?

Nevermind, I found some information on the Member Website

You also receive free stuff if you do a Disney Cruise. They have a really fun party on board with food and we got a whole bag full of free goodies.

At Member Day at HH I won the gift basket with all kinds of great DVC stuff. A sunshade for the car, small backpack and a travel mug. There were other things as well but all I can remember right now.

I want to add that at the weekly member meetings, they don't exactly pass things out by the handful. Typically each attendee will get one or two small items--a cap or a pin--something along those lines. Other prizes are awarded to those who participate in the event by answering trivia questions, win a raffle, etc.

Just didn't want to leave folks with the impression that they'll leave the member meetings with an armload of DVC merchandise.

Now on the cruises, it's a different story. That's where you can fill your suitcase with stuff.

We got a Howard Miller travel flashlight / alarm clock combination when we checked in to HHI last Sunday.

It has the DVC logo on it.

On the cruise you can go to member events and win swag. We won a beach bag, and was given a 15 anniversary pin for wearing our hats on the beach. The hats, magnet, and lanyards are left as welcome home gifts on the first day of the cruise.
