Disney Doorway To Dreams DVC Member Preview

Today was the first day of the DVC Member preview of the Disney Doorway To Dreams store that just opened at the Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, a suburb outside of Chicago. We had a rather fun time with, of course, lots of free gifts.

We were told to check in at the Improve theater. As you can see from the marquee, they were expecting us.


The signs were everywhere to advertise the official opening day for the public, which will be this coming Saturday.


They placed us right in the Improve theater itself for the presentation. They were giving us quite a special offer to add on more points to our DVC membership. It was very, very tempting because not only do we get a $10 discount per point at SSR and AKL, but we also get no closing cost, and they'll also give us complimentary points equal or more than what we bought for to be used within the next 12 months! If you buy 110 points, they'll give you a complimentary 110 points on top of that to be used within the next 12 months. If you buy 200 points, they'll give you 400 complimentary points! Etc... etc... Like I said, very, very tempting.


Of course, our good friends were there. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Chip 'n' Dale were there for us to take pictures with, and encouraging everyone to buy more DVC points! :)




We were then escorted to the actual Disney Doorway to Dream store that has the model rooms at the new Animal Kingdom Lodge villas. It is right next to Nordstrom on the top level of the mall.





It was a fun evening. We got lots of free gifts. I even won a prize for answering a trivia question correctly. I will take pictures of all of them tomorrow and post them here.

And oh, about those DVC points, we did get more to add to our existing points. We now have an additional 110 points at SSR, our home, plus an additional 110 points to burn by August next year. I think we will be looking to use that at the new AKL villas, maybe a 2 bedroom when we invite our friends to come along.
