I got an e-mail from DVC earlier this month saying they were having a thing in Boston with free food and Mickey and Minnie will be there. There also may be bonuses if you buy or add on there.

Boston. (Oddly enough, "Mickey" and "Minnie" were not invited, although a good number of DVC owners appeared to be) As Mom was supposed to be out of town this weekend, I booked it for just myself. I wasn't sure what to expect; I was thinking it might be like the DVC Doorway to Dreams to Chicagoans have. Anyway, I headed out of my house this morning to board the T and check it out (Deal or No Deal tryouts were at a nearby hotel, so I was worried about thundering hoardes). The only real thundering hoards I saw were waiting for the T to the waterfront, so I waked from South Station. There was a big beer event going on at the Seaport World Trade Center, but there were people in mouse gloves directing us. The registration had said we needed the confirmation e-mail, but they just took my last name.
There was a kids club where you could drop your wee ones off, and then the adults and kids who refused the kids club headed into the auditorium which was playing a slideshow of Disney photos. Everyone got a lanyard with a tiny remote on it.
I was seated in the front, next to a guy about my age. As the were seating me, I was tempted to make a smart remark about stopping in the middle being unpatriotic, but decided not to do so. I watched the slideshow-should I be ashamed or proud at all the places I recognized (pool at the Disneyland Hotel). There was a mother with her DD who was 6ish, who was narrating the slides ("there's big thunder mountain! It's too scary for me." Mom: No it's not. "Yes, it is.") Guy and I were in stitches. The remote (please excuse my ugly nails, I was moving people at work last week, so didn't bother with a redo.)
This is the Wishmaster-he gave a little speech, then the "tech crew" came out at did some acapella. The Nikki and Dave gave us the standard yay DVC speech. We got free luggage tags, bionculars, ears, and a padfolio. At one point, they were asking people to name their favorite resorts they'd stayed at-most people were all Poly! GF! CR! Me "POFQ!" Guy next to me "Pop Century!"
Then they got into the cost and breaking even dealio. Sample family they pointed at? Me and Guy. LOLZ. I would have thought they might have done more publically about financing, as I remember being impressed with the monthly cost, but they did not. They were having some awesome incentives, but only for BLT and only if you bought there. They drew a name for a free week at a RCI timeshare, I did not win.
Then, Mickey ad Minnie came in to escort us to the dance party-they were playing music and dancing, I met with Aladdin, Cindy and the Fairy Godmother. When I was in line for Cindy, there was a girl who could not decide whether to like her or not, the Fairygodmother asked me to take their photo, I did. Cindy later told me I had a good heart.

The food was good-a chocolate fountain, cupcakes and truffles. There were DVC people there if you wanted to talk to them, or you could go speak with the salespeople.
Had i known how fun it would have been-I may have seen if Mordie and Ferdie wanted to go.
