5 SEA DAYS - Disney Transatlantic Crossing! Celebrity Chef, SO many Characters, Things to Do on DCL

[@AddictedtoDisney]

We joined DVC in 2023 while on the Disney Dream it is so worth it our home is riviera and the resort is gorgeous

[@aclaireytale]

Ohhh it truly is a beautiful resort! Would love to stay there one day! Thank you so much for watching!

[@AddictedtoDisney]

Your also not restricted to staying at your home resort with DVC we love it if your main holidays are to Disney world then it’s totally worth investing and on cruises they do give you great deals as well

We have been DVC members since 2005. We love it and my 23, 25 year old sons still come with us. We love Aulani and Have been to Disneyland as well. Home resort is Sarasota Springs but have only stayed there 1 time. DVC is the best!! Do it!!

[@aclaireytale]

Awww amazing!! Yeah I only hear good things!! Maybe one day when we don't have the villa anymore!

[@larryeakin8610]

Another great vlog albeit a bit longer than usual (I think that is correct). Thanks for all the info and it looks like you had a wonderful time.

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you Larry, yes a bumper long vlog this week!!

[@hazelross4256]

Wow, what an amazing 5 days. Seeing so many characters was the best. Doing a transatlantic Disney cruise 🚢 is on my bucket list.

[@louisegough3808]

Loved this vlog especially seeing all the food options and characters interactions on the sea days, loved seeing Halloween 🎃 again, I’m looking forward to your Xmas cruise vlogs xx

[@aclaireytale]

Aww I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! Some jam packed days thank you for watching! I hope you will like the Christmas cruise vlogs too! It was short but very sweet!

We are DVC members since 2013. Bought on a cruise. Best purchase we ever made! Wish we would have bought sooner. Our home resort is AKL. We did it so it would give us an opportunity to stay at places we normally couldn’t afford. We have gone to Aulani three times, stayed at Poly, Rivera, Grand CA & The Villa’s at Disneyland. You are pre planning your Disney vacations. If you can do it, would highly recommend! We have made so many memories & met such great people.

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you for telling us more about it! It definitely makes sense if you are staying on property! Maybe one day when the villa is gone we will look into it again!! I've never met a DVC member who regrets it!

[@lilyellens]

Loved this Claire, I adored sea days on our recent Dream Cruise and 5 in row would be heaven to me! Spotted some familiar faces including our server Craig dancing with the celeb chef. Inez was also on our cruise and is so much fun - crew members are the best Can’t wait to see what you think of Lookout Cay ❤

[@aclaireytale]

Aww so glad you enjoyed the vlog, thank you!! Oh amazing that you got to see some familiar faces too! Loved Inez we did a cast compliment for her! Thank you for watching!

[@jennh7040]

Fun seeing your sea days! So many great things you were able to do on those days. You know we are DVC. Our home resorts are AK and Aulani. We joined 2013 and have never regretted joining. We use our points at WDW and Aulani. We have not used them for DVC as we feel they are more cost effective to use for hotel stays. We love doing trivia! So jealous that you have one three quizzes so far. We enjoyed doing the Art of the Show tour as well. We knew about the stars on the carpet but did not know about the carpet colors meaning where you are on the ship. Loved Simon’s penguin at Animators Palate.

[@aclaireytale]

Aw thank you Jenn! Such jam packed days! Yeah DVC members only say great things about it! I've never heard anyone say anything else! I think we shall wait and see but never say never!!

After your dream Christmas Disney trip I had forgotten you were still travelling across the Atlantic on this trip. Simon’s mum is a very talented artist. Simon is someone you need with you to make sense of the DVC figures. Though they looked frightening to me. Like another mortgage. 😂 Simon’s mum came up trumps again with the crayons task at dinner. Though since she’s cruised so many times, she’s probably seen them all before. 😂😂 The cookery show was such fun with the world’s first scouse comic chef. 😂 The Aqua Duck was even more fun. 😂 I would be more surprised if Simon didn’t win a Star Wars trivia quiz. 😂😂 The sea days passed so easily. So much to do and see to keep you entertained. An enjoyable hour as usual. Thanks for sharing.

[@aclaireytale]

Haha love your detailed comments, thank you Alan! Love what you pick up on! Thank you for watching

[@tg5275]

This was such a fun vlog. Loved it!

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed it!!

[@dibberbats]

Yay, another vlog!

[@aclaireytale]

Haha hope you enjoy it!!!

[@cindyandkurt]

This was amazing!! Glad we bought snacks😄😄 As far as DVC goes we figured we can always rent points from DVC rental store and stay at a DVC property paying moderate resort prices! Without being tied to a long term commitment with ever increasing annual dues! Something to think about!! Take care and have a great week!!! PS The cooking segment was hilarious 😂😂

[@aclaireytale]

Yeah that's a good idea to rent points, I've seen more and more people do that! We might look into that too eventually! Definitely something to think about! Thank you for watching!!

[@AnniStores]

Lovedddd this vlog! So many amazing highlights, love a sea day and they look jam packed with so many fun activities. By any chance, did you find out where the navy fish extender was from? It’s amazing! 😍

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you so glad you enjoyed the vlog! Thank you for watching!! No I didn't unfortunately!!

[@mumph1968]

We did the DVC presentation on board and ended up buying 150 points

[@aclaireytale]

It’s dangerous isn’t it haha! Amazing. So that was Riviera?

[@mumph1968]

@aclaireytale we were the same as you, been thinking about it for ages, had a personal meeting after the presentation and finally went for it, we were planning a big family trip to WDW next year, so made sense to do it. Yes, the Riviera is our home resort.

[@aclaireytale]

Oh wow!!! Amazing to hear! I’m sure it was the right decision, I’ve never heard anyone say anything bad about it!! Riviera will be amazing for a home!!

[@mumph1968]

@aclaireytale we have a night booked there before the Eastbound this May, along with 2 nights at Beach club.

[@laurenhughes4632]

I love Simon's Halloween tshirt! Where is it from?

[@staceymoorebarker]

We'd love to do a transatlantic! We're DVC! And we've just added to our contract with Polynesian. We now have two home resorts. Riviera and Polynesian. I advise not to keep the loan with Disney direct. Transfer to a UK loan and pay off Disney. Works out cheaper overall and we managed to reduce pay back time. We love it and it's allowed us to experience so much (including Disneyland CA hotel). It's only worth it if you're going to use it. We always stay at Deluxe resorts, with the price increases of resorts DVC is a no brainer for us. Also the discounts have been well used 😂

[@staceymoorebarker]

Also, at the DVC member cruise events you do get cocktails lol

[@aclaireytale]

Haha they must have changed it to DVC member cruises, they used to be at all the DVC meetings even if you weren't a member yet! They're the ones we used to work. Amazing that you have had such great experience with DVC - I have never heard anyone ever say they regret it!! Yes that's exactly it, because we stay at the villa there's just no point (yet!)

[@khardy1801]

I think the kids walked as they had to be at least 12 months to do a sailing like that? I think anyway?

[@aclaireytale]

Oh I didn’t know!! Maybe that’s why then! It was still good fun haha, thank you for watching!

[@marysouza413]

I've been a DVC member for 11 years now, I bought 100 points in 2014 at AKL. I do love it, however, in recent years I feel like its lost some of its charm. We don't get nearly as many deals as we used to get eback when i first bought in and its getting harder and harder to book at other resorts that aren't your home resort now with a vailability being so limited. I will say though i wouldn't trade it for the world and wish i had bought more points and thought about buying resale points so i could have gotten more points for the price i paid!!!

[@aclaireytale]

Oh ok that’s really interesting to hear that. It’s always such a big question mark, it’s not been worth it for us while we have the villa. We might look into renting dvc points instead! Thank you for watching!!
