We have a cruise in January and we are DVC members. We booked through an agent and used cash (we are resale members so we cannot use our points for a cruise).

Is there anything we need to do so they know we are DVC? Does it matter?

It is not a members cruise, just a regular sailing.
 
I don't think it matters.

I bought resale before my last cruise and they automatically knew and I got a magnet on my door. I also visited the DVC desk on our last day and they gave me a weeks worth of little gifts. But those are the only DVC-y things about the cruise
 
If you don't get a call in advance of the cruise or a DVC magnet on your door on embarkation day, that means DVC didn't realize you're a member.

In that case, just stop by the DVC desk on boarding day and tell the rep there that you are a DVC member. The DVC desk is across from Guest Service on the Dream/Fantasy -- I'm not sure where it is on the other ships, but I'm sure it's somewhere.

You should then get an invitation to the DVC member celebration and the opportunity to stop by the DVC desk for a small gift each day (lip balm, stickers, lanyard, etc.).

I was just on the Sept 24 sailing on the Magic and this is the first time I have not received a phone call before my cruise. When I mentioned it to the DVC cast members they apologized but also said they were being told by other members who also did not a phone call. So I'd say the phone call is hit or miss. As for the door magnets, we (as in those of use who went to the get together on embarkation day after the sail away party) were told they are not putting door magnets on the doors as members have been telling them they are being taken on some of the ships. You will need to stop by the DVC desk to get the door magnet. Also, make sure to stop by the DVC desk everyday to receive a little gift (lanyards, magnet, luggage tags, magic band slider).

That's sad but not surprising. Now that I'm thinking about it, we may not have had a magnet on our cruise a year ago, but we did get a phone call.
