I've been on MC 2005, as well as the one this past January and hope to go on another one in a few years. They are more expensive, and the gifts like the little travel suitcase, picture frame, and Monopoly game mean more to some collector than to me, but the experience of the special shows make it worthwhile to me. I especially enjoyed the Broadway Disney Stars Show. The then current Mufasa, the original Ursula, Mary Poppins and a Tarzan put on an show I thought was excellent!
My sister, cousin & I left the ship thoroughly satisfied. I never went to one DVC meeting so I don't know if it was a hard sell or worthwhile cruise from the add on standpoint. It was an experience I am glad I did not miss!
