Anyone know if the kids gifts are different?

Anyone know if the kids gifts are different?

No they typically have been the same. The first year the gifts were one per room. Since then they have been one per person so you'll have lots of gifts. Bring an extra suitcase!

Hi Kathy - welcome aboard!

The only downside I would see to bringing your Owners Locker on board would be storing it. I don't think it would fit under the bed like luggage and might not fit in the closet.

Hi Mary

The Owners Locker board says that the locker fits under the desk on DCL ships. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with bringing it along and having them pick it back up at the airport.

Thanks

Did someone on here say the tips are included on a Member cruise? If so, do you tip extra anyway if they so deserve or is that considered in bad taste for a member cruise?

 

[manascarfan]

Mimi,

We have always tipped extra, I feel they deserved something extra for all they do to make our trip memorable.

Mimi,

We have always tipped extra, I feel they deserved something extra for all they do to make our trip memorable.

But they are included already? I am all for tipping extra when it is deserved.

 

[manascarfan]

Sorry Mimi,

Yes, tips are included on the members cruise. LOL

Yes they are included, and I agree extra only when deserved!

Mimi - I'm with Dave. They are included but we've always gotten such great service that we've tipped extra!

Having only sailed on Carnival and RCCL before, everyone tells us we will be blown away by the service and everything else on Disney. We are SO excited!

Last year I tipped one of my breakfast/lunch head servers extra. He always knew me and asked me what I wanted and then got the chef ( who was also outstanding) They made me extra soy icecream shakes that I could take with me.

We were never informed that the tips were included in the price/points for the DVC Members cruise. It ISN'T noted on the website either. That is GREAT news! I told DH. He called DVC to confirm. We now have more $$$$$ for Midori Coladas (Yummy!). Of course, we will tip extra when merited. Also, I have to bring some ones for my midnight snack of a Mickey Bar from room service. It has become a tradition. I don't eat them in the parks. But, I have my fair share onboard.

Welcome aboard all the new Dis Board people. As Mary has said we are a fun bunch and most of us met on the 2007 Members Cruise. We all can be a bit chatty but as I said alot of us have met each other.
As you know Mary and Mark are the Board wisdom people if you want to know anything just ask Mary or Mark. Right Mary. .
Well I see we finally have a theme I don't think they will beat last year.
Joan I hope everything is going well.
Catch everybody later.

Right Dan! I'll get that check in the mail to you as my pr person.

Dan is right though we are a fun group and it is great to see more new people joining us!

Some of us have sailed on all of the Member Cruises so if you have any questions just ask away and we'll be happy to help!

Any Guesses ! Look at the Official Cruise Page.

I would bet on Joe Rodhe for sure, maybe Figment !

My wife wants Eisner but I say no way although I would love to see him.
