Show Me Your DCL Lithographs

[super mike b]

Many are curious about the lithographs.
I always had questions, but was reluctant to ask.

So..... how about 1st person omniscient.

All concierge level cabins receive one. (Yes)
Is there a way to get one if not booked CL? Sometimes on EBAY
Do all cabins receive them? (No, unless unque cruise, CL)
How often do they change/differ? (annually if you lucky)
Are they unique per itinerary? (Yes)
Does everyone receive one on the specialty cruises? (Yes)
Does everyone receive them on normal itineraryies? (no)
Does CL on specialty cruise receive anything different than the usual, given to all? They receive both the concierge and the special litho
If upgraded to CL do I get one? (Yes)
How large is the print? (our's was 16 X 20)
Is the size always the same? No. We have several different sizes
Who is the artist? Don "Ducky" Williams. He is the senior character artist at Disney
How thick is the paper? (thick paper)
Is the artist always the same individual? Yes
Has the artist always been the same over the decades?
Does the print come with a cover/case? (Our's came with a thick cardboard envelope 17 X 21, that was huge to handle, carry on only, oversize definitely, worked great, we placed our signed photo mats, and purchased photos in there.)
Why would I want a delicate item to debark? (For us - unique rare item, possibly never accessed again)
Does anyone get home with these large prints un damaged? (Yes, us, even with air fare.)
Can you say carry-on? Thankyou Jet Blue.
Do I really need one? (No)
Am I glad I got home with ours? (Yes)

I have filled in a few blanks for you. Don also does a litho for New Years and Christmas. Each cabin gets one. If you are lucky enough to have him on your cruise he will also sign them. Once in a while, you also get a chance to buy the originals or artist proofs at silent auction.

Great lithos, thanks for sharing!

There is an annual litho done for concierge cabins. In addition, there is one done for most of the specialty cruises (14 nights, for instance).

Thank you for the explanation of where they came from.

I was very disappointed to not get one on the second Hawaii cruise. We are going on a New Years 2013 -2014 cruise and I hope we get one on that cruise. (Fingers crossed)

Did they do one for the final inaugural cruise on the Dream? We'll be sailing on the final inaugural for the Fantasy (not CL) and I was wondering if our stateroom would have one.

Whenever I receive a lithograph from a cruise I get it framed and matted. Here is my small but growing collection. I would like to see your framed/matted lithograph. Sometimes I am lucky and I get the artist to sign my lithograph.

Your lithographs look great. We only have one and just managed to get it framed today, after almost a year!

We got a set of Don Ducky Williams litho cards all of the refurb plans for this fall. We were not CL, but it was during our Magic cruise on the day they announced the upcoming refurb plans. Later the same cruise they had a presentation for the CMs from the brass when we were having a port day in Port Canaveral.

We are leaving to board the Fantasy on the Oct 5th sailing. Any recent concierge cruisers know how big the current lithograph is? I am looking to buy a photo mat to have characters sign. thanks

We were on the Dream two weeks ago and ours is 16x20 -- bigger than I expected. I haven't had a chance to have it framed yet.

I have the Pixar one..framed and hanging. I love it

This is a wonderful thread!

Here's one given on DVC's 2005 Member Cruise!

Anyone know what the Dream is giving out now?

 

[Floridatinaherb]

Isn't a lithograph delivered to each cabin staying concierge?
I wonder how often they change them on regular sailings.
TIA

There is a special lithograph for concierge guests, it has the concierge keys at the bottom. I believe the concierge hosts told us that they are changed yearly? I know that the only time that we got a duplicate litho was when we did a B2B, the others were a year apart.

I put ours in frame too, together with all the pins

We did a shadow box for the pins and stuff like the hand they gave out at the sail away party. I will try to remember to get pics of this and our 2 concierge unframed lithos too.

We sail the Dream in 44 days, I'll be able to tell you what Concierge is giving out. We got the "Kicking Back, Chilling Out" litho in September of last year

 

[cgolf]

Here we go, shadow box from Hawaii cruise, very simple

Litho from same trip


Bonus from that trip


Concierge 1


Concierge 2


Seeing that someone got the same litho as we got in 2013 or 2014 I wonder if the limited edition # of 7500ish is legit.
