Recently, Disney Vacation Club members who purchased Animal Kingdom Lodge Villa points as Founding Members received a beautiful gift in the mail.
No explanation came with the gift so I contacted DVC and received the following information:
Given to each Founding Member at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas, these traditional Masai collars were handmade by African tribeswomen and incorporate various natural elements found around the women’s village. Created especially for Founding Members, each collar was custom designed and no two pieces are exactly alike as the colors, patterns and adornments reflect the artisans’ mood and whimsy at the time of creation.
In addition to their ties to the themes and design elements of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas, these collars also complement the resort’s Founding Member ceremonial robes, which will be displayed in the resort lobby. Inspired by and modeled after traditional ceremonial robes worn by African tribal leaders, each robe will feature intricate stitched patterns that incorporate the names of every Founding Member in a unique and unexpected way.
Please send me a photo of your Founders Gift at [email protected] I’ll include them in a future blog!
