I got back from DCL house party!!! The hosts were very gracious!! DCL did not give what was promised!!! I did receive a shopping bag from DCL, a POTC eye patch, recipes cards, a very nice goofy pirate hat,DVD of the cruise (the same one) and a couple of paper masks from Peter pan. There was no $50 certificate... only to the host which said it must be used on new booking. I will be doing a survey to give feedback.

Thought a lot of you were curious!! I got home late because I really had a nice time!!!

FYI on the "promised" gifts for the DCL house party. Apparently the list that was previously circulated that included OBC for guests and many other really nice DCL gifts was a proposed list and not finalized and approved by DCL. The House Party folks were not supposed to share that list. So when the finalized party packages were put together, they were very different from the original list. I'll go see if I can find the email that someone received from DCL after complaining about the party package.


For those who don't know, the party packages ended up not being DCL themed. In fact, the cocktail napkins were not even in a package, but just thrown in the box loose. There were Peter Pan paper masks promoting Return to Neverland (maybe 4 or 5), a few Mickey or Goofy pirate ears and a few bandanas. There were other things, but the main issue many hosts had were that there were not 10 of anything to stuff the 10 goodie bags that came with the party pack.

found it, turns out it wasn't an email, but a recap of a phone call

I just got off the phone with the director of marketing for Disney Cruise Lines who was calling me in response to the email I sent to Tom McAlpin President of Disney Cruise Lines. I sent the email after reading all the negative comments here on the boards and expressed our displeasure in the party packages.

He called to thank me for the feedback on the boxes we received. He then went on to explain some of what happened. He claimed that since this is thier first time throwing a house party, they turned to the house party people to help them put together what was in the packages. He said the first list of items that were posted here was just a rough draft of what they would have liked to put together in the packages and was not set in stone. He said that he was aware that the houseparty people had released that information to us and that they have said they made a mistake in doing so because it was not a done deal.

He told me about lifting the restrictions on the onboard credits and said there was new information about this on the house party site but I have not been there yet to see what it says. He said they now understand that we were not given enough things to fill the goody bags and that have now learned this for the next time. He said that they had originally had plans for Cruise lines merchandise like a cruise lines plush but that did not pan out for whatever reason so they turned to thier warehouse to fill the boxes with stuff they thought was comperable. He said they also turned to other departments for help with merchandise since they knew that children would be coming and what they got from that was the Peter Pan merchandise. He thought it was a great addition because it was a popular Disney character for the kids.

I told him we were not looking for expensive things but that the boxes really lacked the Cruise theme and was way too generic Disney. He said he totally agreed but they worked with what they had at the time it was needed. I told him we really did not appreciate getting 10 bags and then not enough stuff to add to the bags. I said on the ships they give away small items all the time that have the Disney cruise logo on them, small things like pens, keychains, magnets, stuff people could take home use and see the logo to remind them about Disney cruise lines, family fun magazines do not do that. He again said I was correct and that they have learned for the next time.

He told me he appreciates all that we have done to make these parties happen and even though the packages did not come out as planned that we still have a great time at the parties. I just thought I would pass on the info I had gotten from them and let everyone know that the higher ups at Disney are aware of our unhappiness. I also gave them the link to this thread in my original email to them so I hope they have read just some of the comments here too.
