Docs and DVC points

[KarenB]

We booked our cruise (July 3-10 Magic/Western) using part DVC points and part cash. Will we receive our Excursion information and docs just as cash reservations do?

I know it has been asked before, but when should we expect them?

Thanks,
Karen

What are DVC points?

 

[RickW]

We have cruised on points in the past, and there seemed to be no difference from the way things worked on the "cash" cruise that we did.

You'll receive your excursion info at 60 days & your docs will come UPS 2nd day about 2 weeks before. They do get them out a bit late, but they come!

Don't make any changes to your ressies. It will cost you $75 a pop! They love those fees at DVC!

Ok I was reading over the FAQ on that site, and it sounds like DVC is a timeshare. I personally don't know what's involved in a timeshare - however how do you use DVC points on a DCL cruise?

Also from what I was reading it requires $13000 to enroll!?!?!

 

[RickW]

Yes, DVC is a timeshare, and trading your points for Disney Cruises is one option (the value of this trade is a debated subject) I would suggest heading over to the DVC Board, where they will be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Thanks for the information-hhmmmmmm-according to most folks, we should have received our excursion booklets by now.

jfs9900-like RickW mentioned, the DVC board can answer all of your questions and most posters there have much more knowledge on DVC than I do!! I know about our points, what we paid for them and how we like to use them, but the DVC board can give you all the specifics!
