Local DVC Event - Vacation As You Wish

Have any other DVC Members been emailed an invitation to this event?

We're going to one of the Sunday June 21 sessions in Boston.

Not sure what it's all about, but I think it'll be fun to check out.

Anyone else going?

Good question! I'm wondering myself. Here is some of the wording on the email I got:

We invite you and your family to play along during our DVC show, Vacation As You Wish, at the Seaport World Trade Center, Boston, MA. Mix and Mingle with other Members, and share your favorite vacation wishes using state of the art technology.

You can also get an inside look at the newest resorts you can call home. Plus take advantage of special offers created just for this event.

Enjoy exciting giveaways and surprises
A dance party with Mickey and Minnie Mouse
Play along during the show
Light Refreshments

Sounds fun (though awfully vague...)! I'd definitely head over as long as it's free if I were you!

(Also--no Christmas trip? You guys thinking of doing treehouses with the fam?)

Does sound vague doesn't it? We'll see what it's all about. At the very least it'll be something Disney related to do.

We are still flirting with a weekend in early December, but aren't sure yet. As of right now the plan is Treehouse Villas with the fam, but that's subject to change too.

Yes, I'm afraid that that's what this'll be all about. But knowing DVC, it won't a a high pressure pitch at all.

I think Treehouse Villas with the family sounds like a ton of fun. I'd love to hear how that turns out. As far as the pressure, that is probably how DVC keeps such a positive image around their brand. Like so many other Disney experiences they try to make sure no one has a bad experience around their sales pitch.

Since it's free, I'd certainly check it out. We always go to the DVC "selling meetings" on DCL because they usually give away a bunch of cool stuff.

I was going to say--there's got to be giveaways!

... SPOILER ALERT...
(don't read if you want to be surprised when you go)

We just did the "Vacation as You Wish" presentation at the Contemporary a couple weeks ago. It was SO fun! The presentation itself was geared towards current members, we used these huge interactive screens & there were several performers. There were 5 giveaways, good stuff too!

After the presentation there was a really nice dessert/dance party with several characters to meet & take photos with, a DJ & dancefloor, & refreshments.

Afterwards we went up in groups to tour BLT; 1 bedroom, Grand Villa, & rooftop lounge. Which was INCREDIBLE!

Not sure what this presentation is going to include on the traveling shows, but it was awesome at the Contemp.

Yes, it was last month and we had a good time!

There was a presentation and then a dance party and meet n greet with the characters.

Yes, it was geared towards current members like us, and they were running great promotions to add points. Our home resort is AKV, we came close to buying into BLT that evening.
