I am interested in the whole experience, beginning with the ABD. I have not made up my mind yet.
I notice that Adventures By Disney offers a New York City Long Weekend package for dates in September and October 2016, and it sounds a lot like the ABD package that will be offered before the Member Cruise. The price for the 3-night, 4-day package is $2,649 per adult. I doubt that ABD package connected to the Member Cruise would be priced less, assuming it could be purchased for cash.Did not realize ABD was not available for cash. We are saving points for Aulani. I think it would be one heck of a NYC experience. I would like to have it all arranged for me, but not for points.
Hi...I am a new DVC member (yeah!!) but not new to Disney. I'm wondering...is a member cruise worth the $$? We live in NYC so no airfare! We cannot pay in points (don't have that much yet) so if I figured correctly $$ for me, DH & DS would be around $4,000 (if inside cabin available and more if prices didn't include port taxes). Not cheap for a 4 night cruise. We've been on a Disney cruise before and loved it. The main reason we'd go on this cruise is for the members-only experience, not the destination (though Canada is nice - been on a Canadian cruise before). Is it worth it?? Has anyone been on a MC before?? Are the "members perks" worth spending this $$ for at least this one time...just to experience it?? We love MNSSHP and F&W and usually take a long weekend in Sept or Oct. to enjoy it. Is the members only cruise worth giving up a fall trip to Disney World? We all enjoy cruising...and love Disney. Just trying to decide if there a better way to spend this money on a Disney vacation (probably at least $5,000 or more after tips and whatevers) or is a members-only cruise definitely worth trying at least once. And since this one is NYC it's very convenient for us. Thanks for any input, opinions, advice....

Nope...adults are 395 points each and kids are 379 points each...For us, we only have 200points per year, it's completely infeasible. I honestly think they should have included a Disney Broadway show since there is no way to stop at CC. While it sounds fun, we will wait for the 2017 cruise. Hubby really wants to take our daughter to hear more about the jobs. She went nuts when we gave her all the stuff from the people on this year's cruise. Her art teacher cried.
It really just depends on the location. This NY to Canada trip, not really. The Alaska 7 day is only of the big ticket DCL cruises and does not go up to Denali...stays on lower Alaska/Canadian coast. Their Caribbean itineraries are goid prices, even using DVC...the trick is the season rates. If you can catch it off season, you get some great deals. We took our three kids on off peak for just under 2 years of our points. We don't have a ton of points so we are judicious when using them.Hi...I am a new DVC member (yeah!!) but not new to Disney.
