Hi Stacie,
"Welcome home!" to Disney Vacation Club Membership!
The first week of December is a lovely time to go to Walt Disney World. The holiday decorations are typically all up, the temperatures are nice and cool, and the crowds tend to be lower.
Welcome Home Wednesdays are a lot of fun. This gathering of Disney Vacation Club members offers exciting games, refreshments, and a chance to mingle with fellow Disney Vacation Club members. Currently Welcome Home Wednesdays are held at the Atlantic Dance Hall on Disney's BoardWalk.
The Disney Vacation Club Merry Mixer has been held in previous years in the weeks leading up to the holiday season, often on Tuesdays. It is a gathering of Disney Vacation Club members including dancing, music, and refreshments. I do not know if the Merry Mixer will occur this year as information for this event typically has come out later in the year, so it has not yet been announced.
Please remember that both Welcome Home Wednesdays and the Merry Mixer are subject to change or cancellation. The best place to look for information and announcements about both of these events is at the
Disney Vacation Club member site. This website is also a great resource for seeing current events and perks for members. Simply sign in and look under the "Member Extras" tab for a list of current events and perks, including the ability to download Portable Perks which includes a specific listing of currently available discounts for Disney Vacation Club Members.
I hope that this information helps, Stacie! Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
