Couldn't agree more.
I'll be petty with you.
Personally, I don't want to be home when I am at Disney. Home is one thing, DVC is another. I like home, mind you, but when I go on a Disney Vacation, it's about the furtherest from home that I can think of.
I mean, where are all the talking mice at home?
Hmm, the walk-around Mickey doesn't talk, so maybe I AM home when I go to WDW???
To me, Disney promotes that phrase heavily as DVC only type thing. I did get the warm fuzzies when I heard it and it does bug me a bit that it's become the standard.
I don't understand why they can't come up with a special phrase for the other non-DVC resorts.
The DVC Membership is growing so quickly, Disney just assumes that everyone will be a Member.
move over, I've got a ticket on the petty train too.
Although it doesn't bother me it makes more sense for a DVC member to get a Welcome Home versus a resort guest. Since we have an ownership its more of a home for us since we probably visit more often. I'm sure non-DVC members visit often. I always thought it was nice from a DVC perspective since we bought a piece of the Magic.
Also, we just returned and whenever a Disney bus drops you off at your resort; DVC or not the last thing the recording says is "And Welcome Home".
