August 2 2025, DVC member Cruise on the Dream!

[bobbiwoz]

Would a meetup include people bringing their children or just adults? Trying to think of alternative meet-up options that are easier to drop-in/drop-out. Not sure my kids would be excited to do a member meetup anyway?

We have had children at the breakfasts. Totally up to you!

Called my guide to find out more info.

Looks like there is a developer credit for the cruise.

How does that differ (or add to) the just-released new incentives?

Do these DCL Member Cruise developer credits stack on top of the new incentives?
If so, how much per point discount does it come out to be?

I don't know yet but will reach out to my guide to find out. Maybe someone will beat me to it... Usually these are stackable, so you do get a better price on the cruise.

Here's my own "reverse engineering" for that incentive

You can kind of get an idea because it says "save up to $5550 on 150 points" which is $37/pt, and "save up to $8200 on 200 points" which is $41/pt. The resorts it applies to are are AUL, RIV, VDH, CFW and Poly.

So if I assume you get $37/pt on 150pts for a purchase at the most discounted resorts (in the link you sent VDH and CFW are $30 off at 150pts) then you save an extra $7/pt ($1050).

And if I assume you get $41/pt on 200 pts at the most discounted resorts (in the link you sent VDH and CFW are $34 off at 200pts) then you also save an extra $7/pt ($1050).

So, if I had to guess I'd say the additional incentive is $1050, or in that range!

I also saw the email, looking forward to finding out what they tell you. If it’s only an extra $7/pt on the active resorts, it’s probably not going to move the needle for us…I was going to say if you needed a Y card it might be a good opportunity—then remembered that everybody on the cruise will already have one.

Yeah, when you raise the price by $10 (which they did in the Spring) and then give back a fraction of that in the form of a new "incentive", it's not going to cut it for most.

Do you think they will be showing the live action Stitch?

 

[HyperspaceMountainPilot]

Do you think they will be showing the live action Stitch?

Probably, though I think it came out before Elio?

 

[Mathmagicland]

Do you think they will be showing the live action Stitch?

It was on the Wonder the last sailing so I’d guess yes. Both Stitch and Elio had multiple repeat screenings.

 

[bobbiwoz]

I would be happy with Elio, too.

Just saw a banner ad that Fantastic 4 is coming out next week— so I’m guessing that will be playing also?

I am happy we have a Halloween cruise booked when the Wish Discounts came out. I do not want to spend too much time in the movies on this Member Cruise!

This is our first member cruise and we’re trying to plan as little as possible to make the most of the special activities—but if my kids want to spend some time in the theater my husband would probably rather go with them than spend too much time on anything DVC related.

We have a Wish HotHS cruise in October and Destiny in November and I keep telling myself there will be more time for everything else then (of course, new ship in Nov will also have plenty of must explore items).

Was anybody able to get more information from DVC on the onboard offers? I’m going to keep hoping against hope we get some sort of promo on sold out resorts.

My guide hasn't called me back...

Whatever the deal is, I'm sure we'll find out in 2 weeks. At least now I have a genuine excuse to go get more swag.

Our check in is approved! Tom got the email!

Very close!
