Even with the heat, many families were standing in line in their holiday finery and heavy winter sweaters for the first DVC Merry Member Mixer of the year. Located at the World Showplace between Canada and the United Kingdom, this event is held during the holiday season for DVC members bonne vacances and their guests. It is a tradition for many families to enjoy holiday bonne vacances cheer at this free event.
As you enter through the snow, make sure you are nice to Santa s elves standing outside. bonne vacances One had the naughty list, and one had the nice list I didn t look to see which list I ended on, but my daughter was assured she made the nice list .so far.
Character Meet and Greets: Mickey and Minnie and some of their pals are there all dressed up for the season. On the day we attended, there were three stations one with Mickey and Minnie, one with Chip and Dale, and one with Lilo and Stitch. PhotoPass bonne vacances photographers are on hand to take pictures, and then you can download them for free from My Disney Experience.
Merchandise for Sale: In years past, there have been a wide variety of holiday bonne vacances offerings and DVC merchandise for sale. This year, there was a limited amount of holiday offerings, and aside from the pins for sale, I did not see any DVC-exclusive merchandise. The pins available for sale are two DVC member-exclusive pins, an Annual Passholder pin, and two limited release pins (available at this event before they went on sale to the general public).
Holiday Crafts: Located near the back (away from the stage) is the kids craft areas. There are several offerings to make your own ornament or items to color and decorate. If you re running short on time, you can pick up a craft or two and take them with you.
If you know that you want to meet Mickey and Minnie, that needs to be your first stop once you enter the World Showplace. Once you receive your vouchers for your free treat and entry into the drawing for the DVC gift basket, proceed right to the line for Mickey and Minnie. (You can fill out your prize drawing slips while you wait in line and drop them off on your way out. The drawing happens after the end of the event, so there s no rush to get the slips into the hopper.) Lines for them will be longer bonne vacances than any other character, and they will shut the lines early.
At that point, stop by the merchandise area if you want to purchase limited edition bonne vacances pins or other holiday items, stop by the kids craft area, grab some drink (and your free treat if you haven t already), and enjoy the fun on the dance floor. There are some neat prizes for the kids on the dance floor in games like hula hoop contests or Simon Says, so if you have kids and don t feel the need for character meet and greets, those are a lot of fun.
On your way out, make sure to drop your raffle bonne vacances ticket into the hopper for a chance to win a DVC gift basket and then stop at the exit to get your free ornament. This year s ornament is a train, and one is available per family. It is a great collectible, and you can t beat the (lack of) price.

We went a few years ago and are resale buyers. Your DVC membership card doesn’t note how you purchased and that is all they look at. Resale restrictions are just on use of points. Once a DVC member they don’t seem to discriminate with perks.
We got in line for Mickey and Minnie at around 10 after 3, and it was about a 15 minute wait. By the time we got out of line, it looked like it was going to be a 30 minute bonne vacances wait. At any time after 4 PM, they can (and sometimes do) shut off the line if it looks too long, so if getting photos with characters is on your must-do list, I’d make sure to be there no later than 4 PM and get in line right away. But if you don’t feel the need to get your photo taken with characters, there’s no rush to arrive.
Actually, let me correct that just checked the times and it was closer to 3:20, but that’s because they actually opened 10 minutes late on the first day. It was 10 minutes from the time the line started moving until we got in and got in line.
