Newbies and lanyards?

No as a first time cruiser you will not get castaway club lanyards. If you area dvc member you will get those, even on your first cruise and on each cruise after (I'm so glad they weren't the blue dvc ones again this time but were red w mickey heads) you can buy lanyards at wdw or on the ship. They sell lots of nice cruise lanyards.
 
Or look on eBay. I got 4 Mickey/Minnie..etc lanyards for the price of one on the ship.
 
We're DVC members, but we paid OOP for the cruise. Will we still be able to get the DVC lanyards?

I am a DVC member, have been on 2 cruises and the only time we got DVC lanyards was when we went to the meeting. On the 1st cruise we bought lanyards, 2nd cruise we got CC lanyards on check in then DVC lanyards at meeting. that was our experience.
 
Yes I did get the dvc ones at the meeting, should have mentioned that. But if you can't make the meeting they will give them to you from the desk. They give out enough for you to bring home for family and friends too bc they ask you your party size and then hand you how every many you asked for. No questions asked. Hats too. And they weren't the ugly red ones this time. Nice khaki ones w red mickey outlines on them.
 
Hmmmmm.... our last cruise was in 2008. We received CC Member lanyards upon check in at the port. DVC lanyards were waiting on our beds along with "Welcome Home" magnets and the CC Club gift. We did do the DVC meeting and got the hats, I won a bag and they gave DS extra hats at the DVC desk after the meeting.
 
First time cruisers in 18 days! :cool1: - Do we need lanyards? I know people use them to hold their room key/card, but does everybody have one? Or rather do you recommend that we have one?
 
Most people have them bt you don't have to.

If I had a Platinum lanyard, I would wear it all of the time to show off that I'd done so many Disney cruises .. alas, I only have a silver!!!

I wear one because it's easier, but on Formal Night, I don't. I put my KTTW card in my wristlet.

We have always gotten our lanyards in the book that they leave in the room, there are usually two and you can ask for more. Additionally we have gotten DVC stuff whether book with cah, points or a combo (3 cruises). We were very surprised during our first cruise in 2007 that they even knew we were on board as we had paid cash.

Hello to a fellow Long Island DVCer!
 
If you don't get DVC stuff and are a member and can't make the meeting, just stop by the DVC desk.
