What more would you like as a member of the Shareholders Club?

A&S&O

We're just back from 10 days at the park. While we were there we discovered that our Shareholders cards no longer gave out fastpasses.

What simple (free or cheap to implement!) extras would you like to get as members of the Shareholders Club? There used to be suggestion cards in Salon Mickey, but we couldn't see any this time.

Maybe someone at DLP will read this list and think "Hmm, what a good idea".

We'll start with -

Re-implement the additional fastpass option for Shareholders cards.

Have a shareholder club pin (might make DLP some money!) - either a straightforward "Member" pin, or "Member since xxxx" or "x year Membership".

Turn down the temperature on the drinks machine in Salon Mickey! I think the Imagineers have succeeded in getting water above 100 degrees!

Slimy yet satisfying

Been a shareholder for almost 8 years and didn't know that you could get extra fastpasses, oops! :-[ missed that one. Iwould love to have a members pin or a range of merc that you could buy...i think they have pins and lanyards in the states but not sure if they ever did that in dp. Maybe now they have changed the share requirements it would be possible.

Have they actually changed the requirements now? I thought new memberships were suspended while they thought about the whole membership / benefits thing.

It is possible to get water above 100 degrees without boiling it, but I doubt the drinks machine is designed to actually pressurize the vessel it uses to hold the water. ;)

As a real world example, Geysers generally have water that sits at around 180 degrees C, but it flashes to steam the instant it erupts and the pressure vanishes. :)

I never knew there were perks for being a shareholder at DLP, then again, I don't have any shares. :)

No you are correct, I meant raising the shareholding to 100. I havent heard whether they are accepting new members yet and if the requirements to join will be different. I suppose they would have to be considering their drop in individual value.
Still worth it for the hot chocolate IMO!

That's probably why the geysers at DLP don't work, they're being re-routed to the drinks machine in Salon Mickey.

If that were true, then that machine would make some of the best Espresso on the planet. ;D

Not yet. Had an email convo with them today and after pushing it out several times since January of this year. They now told me to contact them end of the year to see whether they are again accepting new members.

Apparently they are still deciding whether the minimum amount of shares has to go up and whether they have to change any other conditions.

At DLR they have AP and DVC only pins which makes it a bit more exclusive. Those pints were also LE which made them even more wanted. I have a few of those and although they are also more expensive, they are worth it.

You could get extra fast passes????  :o All these years, and I never knew that!! How did that work?

What I'd really like would be longer opening hours for the Salon Mickey, we hardly ever go because when it's open we're either travelling to the park, or enjoying the morning to do lots of rides before it gets busy. If we could go for a coffee and a rest after lunch for example, or later in the afternoon, it would be really lovely.

I think I might know who removed the suggestions box!! It was possibly a CM named Jenny who received a number of complaints about her abrupt manner back in March! Various Salon Mickey guests of differing nationalities were driven to complain about her unnecessarily rude communication skills.  If I was her I would probably have hidden the suggestion box!

Just saying...!

I had cause to complain about the way she spoke to us last November. Very rude unnecessarily.

Can't believe have been missing out on fastpasses all this time!  :'(

A couple of years ago they issued a limited number of VIP fastpasses which were valid for 1 (chosen) day and up to 5 people which we were lucky enough to receive. I think the option to have one of these once a year would fab. Also if they ever thought of expanding, would be rather nice to have a 'Salon Mickey' over at the Studios too.

I think they were going to "review" things "in January".

I don't know how long the review will take, or how long it will take them to announce and implement any changes.
