Hi there, Chansouk! Welcome to planDisney. I am always excited to meet a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member, and it's my pleasure to help with your question today.
One of the things that initially drew us to becoming DVC Members was the ability to use our
Vacation Points for all sorts of Disney adventures, both on land and at sea! Members can exchange points for a magical voyage on
Disney Cruise Line, with destinations around the world. Our family has sailed on DCL several times, and it is an amazing experience--these vacations combine luxury, relaxation, family fun, and core memories, all with plenty of pixie dust!
Disney Vacation Club Members do enjoy some exclusive experiences during each sailing, including a Member celebration that usually takes place on departure day. You can also visit the DVC desk daily for some fun swag and enjoy merchandise discounts in many of the onboard shops!
Chansouk, the discounted cruises from 2023 were part of the DCL 25th anniversary celebrations. Unfortunately, there are currently no discounts on 2024 trips offered to Members. There are
Members-only sailings, including the 2025 Western Caribbean voyage. I have not had the opportunity to experience one of these yet, but it is definitely on my Disney must-do list!
If a journey beyond the reef is still on your mind, it's an easy process for DVC Members to
exchange points for a DCL sailing. You can complete the transaction by calling
Member Services. At least one Guest on the reservation must be booked using points, and additional Guests can book with cash--however, you can't combine points and cash for one person. There is a one-time, non-refundable fee (currently $95, subject to change).
I hope this information is helpful, Chansouk! Please sail on over to planDisney again anytime if we can help with other questions about DVC Membership or Disney Cruise Line. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Stay Magical!
Susan
