Welcome Home Wed worth going to?

I was reading about the Welcome Home Wednesdays over at the BW and was wondering if any of you have gone and would you recommend us going during our trip in April? Is it fun for kids? Entertaining? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here is a fairly recent thread on Welcome Home Wednesdays...I think you will find that most people thought it was fine if you had some free time on your hands, but wasn't worth specifically setting time aside to attend.

Thanks! It doesn't look like I should change any of my plans to try to attend.

Very helpful link. Just one quick question. Are these always at BWV? Thanks!

We went to the one last week as I was curious about them and we had some time that afternoon. We enjoyed it, but then I did get picked to be one of the contestants. There are 4 contestants - one lady blew the rest of us away because she knew many of the answers (and the ones I knew, she buzzed in faster than me - except for two I got to answer and was right on!).

The kids were entertained by our hostess (DeeVee Sea) and of course the lemonade was refreshing. And the bagged snacks - we put some "spares" in our pack. The boys were excited about their souvenir ice scrapers (never mind we live in FL and park our car in our garage), but most of all we liked the free hats (DH saw similar DVC hats for $22 in the OKW shop).

Here's a pic of DS with his hat - he wore it for the remainder of our trip.

And FWIW, I wouldn't re-arrange plans to go, but if you have time, it's kinda fun. The boys enjoyed doing some pin trading with DVC staff, too.
