DVC Sep 2013 members cruise-extras/special entertainment, etc.?

[ldo]

If you were on the Sept 2013 Members cruise, please post what extras there were that are not on a regular DCL Dream cruise? I know about the free stuff--hats, etc., but what about special shows, extra entertainment, extra presentation, such as art/animation, etc. We are trying to decide if we want to book for next year. Thanks, Elaine

I would like to hear about the free stuff as well!

I wonder if the free stuff and additional entertainment is worth the extra price.

If you go to Facebook, the DVC site, you can see the official pictures. There are videos of performers and pictures of the gifts. As far as "worth" that's very personal. Lots of people pay lots of money for the special things at F&W. I would not try to sell anyone on a MC, but I have enjoyed the 2 I was on, I am hoping to book next year's, with a friend who has never cruise, but who does love Disney things.

DH and I went two years ago and loved it. I'm planning to call to book tomorrow for 2014. There were an assortment of Disney gift items as well as special events including a presentation where two cartoon artists drew sketches in front of a live audience and then the sketches were raffled off. They had a really nice reception with officers for the higher level of repeat cruisers. There were two stops at Castaway Cay instead of going to Nassau. The ship wasn't sold out and there weren't as many children as usual, I guess maybe because owners like us who bought in 1995 don't have minor children now. We really had a great time and it was worth the extra money to us.
