Good morning everyone - happy Monday. Time to start another week.

I asked the question because over the years many here on the DIS felt the cruise wasn't worth it. I remember the negativity over on the DVC boards for the first cruise. How DVC thought we were cash cows because the cruise is more points than a regular 4 day. That one went to CC twice and also to Nassau (no sea day). We had a great time and loved the guests. That is what has brought us back year after year...the guests that DVC brings on board.

Then there are some that after sailing on the member cruise say it just isn't worth it and they would rather do a 7 day cruise for not that many more points. I can see that and we definitely enjoy a 7 day cruise as well.

For us it is the guests, the two stops at CC, and of course getting to sail with our fellow DVC members that make it special. Some years DVC has hit home runs with the line up and how they treated us cruisers, some years not so much. Wonder what they have planned for us now. I hope all of you first time member cruises get as much out of it as we have.

Memo to DVC : it has been Spring for a few weeks now. Time to announce the theme.

Mary,

I look at it this way. If you went to a dinner show or any thing like that you are going to pay more and also the things you get.

I do like your memo to DVC~ I agree

take care

What a weekend, first my daughter got a rejection letter from the Disney College Program on Friday.
So on Saturday to cheer her, we went to Disneyland and my arm was twisted into buying annual passes

Then yesterday it got up almost to 98 degrees and it was too hot to do anything. That would have been the perfect day to be on Castaway Cay.
(Can't wait).
Anyway, if I'm not on the boards on the weekends, I'll be in Disneyland, it's only 90 minutes away.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Oh your poor daughter! I feel for her.

Annual passes that is going to be fun. I wish we were that close. Soon for us.

take care

Sorry to hear she didn't make it into the program. I have heard that it is very very hard to get in but some people try more than once and make it.

I think getting Disneyland AP's is great. They look so much nicer than the WDW ones. They are good for both Disneyland and California Adventure right? Sounds like a great day trip on a weekend. Enjoy!

Thank you All for the concern of my daughters 1st attempt. She is not the kind to give up, so she will try again next semester.

Todays weather reached 102 where we live, and so I had to look at this picture to remind me of a cooler place. (Castaway Cay)

I sat in that chair with the water line starting just above my waist, and just watched the tide come in.
