I just got the DVC newsletter about the "Summer Block Parties" that are going to be held at Pleasure Island this summer. Is anyone going to attend any of them? Are they fun, has anyone ever been before? I have never been to a DVC event but I was wondering if it was worth taking an evening out to go? I am pretty sure we are going to attend the August 24th party, anyone else going to be there? Are non-member guests allowed and I wonder how many?

Here was the description I got:

"Attend the Summer Block Party!

Disney Vacation Club is inviting Members and their guests to take part in the second annual Summer Block Party, an exclusive Member gathering taking place at Pleasure Island at the Walt Disney World® Resort on Thursdays from July 20-Aug. 31.

Members will gather with their Disney neighbors in and near the Rock 'n' Roll Beach Club and Motion clubs for two hours of evening fun (5-7 p.m.), including live entertainers, games, refreshments and more. Admission to the party is free.

As an added bonus, Members attending the party will receive complimentary admission to Pleasure Island nightclubs for the remainder of the evening. (Note that some clubs require Guests to be age 21 or older.)

"Last year's Summer Block Party events were big hits," said Disney Vacation Club Cast Member Carol Chukwu, one of the organizers behind this year's events. "It's a great way for Members to visit with other Member families and get a jump start on a great night at Pleasure Island. We're really looking forward to welcoming Members 'home' to this year's events."

No registration is necessary for this event. Just show up, present your Disney Vacation Club Member ID and get ready to seize the night!

We are members and I didn't get this information. When did you get it? Is there a summer block party in September?

Hey NokeyNick, if you log-on into your DVCmembers.com it's under "new" I believe. Do you get the DVC newletter? That's where I saw it. If you aren't getting it in e-mail you should call member services so they can add yuor e-mail to the list!

Oh, and as far as I know it might only be August.....

Unfortunately we don't go in the summer so we miss out on this.

I am really glad that I read this post. Somehow I have stopped getting the DVC newsletter and this just reminded me to re-request it! Thanks!!

Thansk for the information Wish! I actually logged on to the DVC site for the first time in a couple of days last night to see my countdown (57 days to go!!!!), and there was some information there. I don't get the email so I have to sign up for it. Unfortunately we are going to miss this event, but it sounds like a great time. Thanks for sharing the info. You are always on top of these sort of things!
