![]() We all helped each other get exactly what we wanted without "losing our place in line". ![]() Meanwhile I inquired about who around me wanted pins. As the cast members put out t-shirts, pins, and Christmas ornaments we found ourselves working as a team! The guy I'd been chatting with on one side asked how many of us wanted ornaments. It was rather a mass of people huddled around the kiosk waiting. ![]() It made for an enjoyable time awaiting the reveal of the merch! Meanwhile, Jason and the girls stood off to the side talking about how much fun it looked like I was having "making new friends" over there.Īt this point there was no neat single file line. It was great fun swapping stories and talking about our love for Disney, Disney Vacation Club, our own home resorts and each others! There was such a sweet camaraderie among us in such a brief time. We have that experience with other resorts, some that were the homes of members I was chatting with that night. This makes booking AKL simple for us, but as I heard that night others often try and aren't able to get those reservations. We can take that for granted, so it was fantastic to hear! As DVC members we can book reservations at our home resort 11 months out, and book a stay at any other DVC resort at 7 months out. I also loved hearing how much they all loved our home resort (Animal Kingdom Lodge) and how highly sought after the reservations are. It was so much fun chatting with the other DVC families around me in line, hearing where their home resorts were and about their experiences with DVC. Funny enough, this was one of the parts of the party I enjoyed most. As those guests made their way out the other DVC members and I made our way closer to the kiosk that'd soon sell the event exclusive merchandise. The cast members weren't allowed to put anything out until all the other park guests had exited and the event began. Soon I noticed a few other people lingering in the area and began to hear people asking if anyone knew what was going to be sold. So, my sweet family agreed to hang out near the Fountain of Nations close to the kiosk where they'd be selling these goodies after normal park hours concluded. I was pretty sure it'd sell out long before the end of the event as let's face it that's usually how it goes. As you can see on the brochure above the only info given about the event merch was that it'd be available from 10:00pm until 1:00am and where it would be sold.
