If you want to save thousands of dollars when buying DVC, then there is only one place to go DVC Resale Market.  Let Nick and the gang help you make your dreams a reality.  Let them know The Mickey Dudes sent you.

In honor of a new podcast that we will record this week called Face-Off, we are going to look at the ultimate face-off: The Dole Whip Versus the Mickeys Premium Ice cream Bar.

First the Dole Whip

What actually is a Dole Whip?  It’s a cup of pure heaven thats what it is.  It’s light and refreshing with a taste of sweet golden pineapple.  You can add a little pineapple juice to it for a float and you have a picture of perfection.   The Dole Whip is classic Disney and can be found at the Aloha Isle in the Magic Kingdom and over at the Pineapple Lanai at the Polynesian.  This epic treat will cost you around 5 dollars, let me repeat that….This epic treat will cost you around 5 dollars.  Yup… that’s it 5 dollars to pure happiness.  Oh by the way this treat is only about 90 calories.  So if you are watching those pesky things this is the way to go.  If you add the juice add about another 130 calories.    Either way, on those hot summer days in Walt Disney World there may be nothing better to beat the heat than a Dole Whip!

Now onto the Premium Mickey Ice Cream Bar

I will admit this is a quintessential Disney snack.  It’s shaped just like Mickeys head and it is…… OVER RATED!!!!!  Yeah, I said it; this snack is the same chocolate covered ice cream bar you can get at any grocery store whenever you want.  Big deal…that it’s in the shape of Mickey.  I am sure I can hand you a few things in the shape of a Mickey and you wouldn’t like it.  Just because it’s in the shape of Mickey does not change the taste of it.  This is not a magic Mickey made of the greatest chocolate that the world has ever tasted.  It’s a simple ice cream bar, which you eat the ears off.  Think about it, you eat off Mickey’s ears!!!  That’s just pure evil right there.  Its 330 calories and will cost you $ 4.25.  I can get a whole box of the same things at the store for less than that, they just won’t be in the shape of Mickey.  Waste of Money!

I think it’s pretty easy to see who won this face off.  THE DOLE WHIP!!!!  I completely understand that everyone has an opinion and that you could completely disagree with me and that is great.  That’s the idea of a face 

A face-off.  Who would win?  Why do you like or dislike a certain item, resort, attraction, or park?  Which one would you choose over the other and why?  Only time will tell when we have other face-offs.  Listen up in the upcoming weeks for the Face-Off episode.  Until then, listen to our past episodes here:  The Mickey Dudes Podcast

The True Winner is You!  No no no its not, it is really only the Dole Whip people!

We may not agree on this face-off, but I am sure we can agree on the following…

If you want that taste of Disney when you are home look no further than the Official Specialty Coffee of Walt Disney World.  Order your Joffrey’s coffee here:  Joffrey’s Coffee    Joffrey’s Coffee, a flavor for every Disney memory

Who has the largest selection of DVC resale listings and is the #1 DVC reseller in the world?  Who has 90% of their listing sell within 30 days with no upfront fees? Who has 95 years of combined Disney Vacation Club experience and have been selling DVC since 1993? Who has over 360 million dollars in sales of DVC?   The answer is the same for all the questions.  It is …………..

The Mickey Dudes would like to thank and welcome our newest sponsor DVC Resale Market.  So who is DVC Resale Market?

Nick Cotton and Kevin Macquarrie were top performing Disney Vacation Club Sales Guides for many years for the Disney Company and both have a passion for Disney and Disney Vacation Club.  Ultimately, they wanted to bring the world class service they learned working for the Disney Company to service Disney Vacation Club Members and potential new Members in the DVC resale industry.

Prior to Nick and Kevin creating the DVC Resale Market, there was not a DVC resale company in existence that had any previous DVC Guides that had been formally trained by Disney on Disney Vacation Club.  Now, at the DVC Resale Market, members can have professionally trained sales guides sell their DVC Memberships.  In addition, members looking to add-on or potential new members looking to join can enjoy the savings of buying resale and still get world class service from previous Disney Vacation Club Guides.

Now, in DVC Resale Market’s 3rd year, it has became the leader in the DVC resale industry, and includes 9 former DVC Sales Guides and a former DVC Quality Assurance Manager.  Combined, the team speaks four different languages, has sold over 360 million dollars of Disney Vacation Club and has over 95 years of combined direct DVC experience.  Whether you are buying or selling, the DVC Resale Market wants to put their knowledge and world class service to work for you.

If you are in the market for buying DVC, or have questions about DVC then look no further than DVC Resale Market.   Nick, Kevin and the whole team will do their very best to get you exactly what you need and answer any questions that you might have.

Take a look at their website for some great information, their latest listings or just some FAQs.  Dvc Resale Market

We would like to thank DVC Resale Market for being part of our team.  Now its your turn, let them be a part of your team when buying DVC.  We could not recommend them highly enough.
