Very amazing

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@EmmaJonYoureWelcome]

Wooo congratulations on becoming DVC!! What a lovely relaxing sea day. The farewell show is so emotional at the end of a trip. xx

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you folks! Big commitment but something we’ve been toying with for a long time…. We can’t even blame the cocktails… totally sober at the time. The next adventure awaits!

[@Disneycrazyhazey]

Congratulations on becoming DVC members 🎉 it was definitely the best decision for us ❤ members since 2008 at Animal Kingdom Kidani

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks so much! We’re excited to be staying on DVC property for the first time…. Including Kidani!!!!!!

[@iainrobison5700]

Great vlog. . I don't think you will regret becoming a dvc member. I bought in to it in the early 1990's at old key west it at that time was the only dvc resort. We had many many holidays over the years and it certainly paid for it self. It was only due to a change in circumstances and the pandemic that I sold my ownership... Enjoy 😊

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Iain! We’re looking forward to seeing what all the benefits have to offer so hopefully exciting times ahead! Just can’t wait to be back. Cheers so much for joining us!

[@lauramaguire5152]

Congratulations, you made the right decision. Think of all those magical Disney memories to come. I am so pleased for you both xx

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Laura! It’s worked out on for us so far so hopefully lots more memories to come!

[@amandadodgson2444]

Wow...Rome was so Rome...you could see and feel the history as viewers. So PLEASED you will have your second home at Disney, plenty of vlogging to come now, with all those DVC events you will be invited too...i cant wait to see how you plan it all. 😊❤😊

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks so much Amanda! Rome was so lovely and we had a great time seeing all those sights albeit brief.. and as for DVC, we can’t wait to bring you more mischief and adventures…. Get ready for the next series…. We have SO much to bring you!

[@seancotter4610]

DCV 🎉Congratulations 😅 Tom looks shell shocked 😂

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

😂😂😂😂 Thanks Sean! That’s his usual expression….. apart from when the bad jokes get told and the eyes roll 😂😂 Excited to see what the benefits of DVC bring!!

[@jadelivermore5076]

Glad you got a plate full of bacon even if the service was rubbish! Perhaps you should have told that waiter to stop nosing over and get the maple syrup! Despite knowing you had become dvc members it was still great to see Tom’s reaction to it!! Xx

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks Jade. Think he was in shock. It took a few drinks to bring him round afterwards 😂😂😂😂 Oh he’ll no doubt settle in the second he hears those famous words “Welcome Home!” Cheers for coming to play!

[@Benandkirstyhere]

Great series chaps!! I bet you are both buzzing for your Florida trip! We loved Rome, well worth heading back!

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you! One more episode to go….. then that can mean only one thing! It’ll be time to start filming Travel Day!!! We will hopefully go back to Rome when we get chance!

[@anjyharris8962]

The waiter was a nosy beggar lol

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

😂😂😂😂😂 Always nice to see what’s on a folks plate Anjy! Hehehee

[@raebirchall7896]

Congratulations on your DVC purchase the Riviera resort looks amazing, when we first went to Disney in the 90's DVC was not really available if it was what it is today we would have got it but too late for us now but hope you both enjoy all your future trips looking forward to the vlogs.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you Rae! It’s something we’ve been thinking about for some time and we did quite a bit of research before going for it. We’re really excited to see what the benefits bring!

[@deanfreeman2524]

Amazing vlogs series so far and your now dvc members. You both must be so excited

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Dean! So glad you’ve enjoyed this adventure! We can’t wait to see what the DVC benefits will be. It’s been something we’ve thought about for a long time…

[@jamesstanley9082]

We have been watching your vlogs for sometime and you mentioned you will be in orlando in August just wondering when as our daughter and family are out there in August and I will tell them to look out for you. Unfortunately we won't be going , we will be in Torquay but in November we are off to Australia so have to give disney a miss this year but will be back in 2024😅

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

@@jamesstanley9082 Hi James! Thanks so much for following along with our adventures! Really appreciate it! We are out from July 30th until August 15th… not sure if they’re out at the same time? We are hoping to do a meet up on the 12th in Disney Springs…. Are any of them part of our Banter With The Blokes From Stoke Facebook group or on our socials? We usually post lots of our content on there too!

[@jamesstanley9082]

Thats a shame they are going out just after you get back. We're all going out together next year (son in law is a teacher so have to go in holidays☹️) so maybe see you then using your DVC benefits! Have a great time

[@rachohara]

Congrats on becoming DVC members! Would be great if you could do a vlog about it all as I've read up on it but still don't understand it 😖

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Rachel! We’re really excited for the opportunities we hope it’ll bring! We’ll look to do a DVC vlog as a few folk have asked. Stay tuned!

[@davinaweller6163]

Congrats on becoming DVC members . What hotels can you pick with DVC , fabulous vlog series Paul & Tom ❤❤xx

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Davina…. DVC gets us access to all of the Deluxe Disney resorts in WDW as well as some of the hotels at other parks around the world, although their points value per night stay. We’re excited to be sharing this in future episodes!

[@spoons165]

Hi guys loved the vlog, as much as we love Disney we looked into Dvc membership in the 90’s in its infancy decided at the time it wasn’t for us and being 100% honest I’m glad we didn’t take it up as We don’t think it’s good value, but we are so pleased for you keep safe Andy and Vonnie

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

@@spoons165 Thanks so much folks. We toyed and toyed for a while and after spending time with some friends who own DVC last year, we decided to go for it and they were doing some incentives on the ship which persuaded us…. Given how often we go, we think that in the long run it’ll probably pay for itself… we hope! 😂

[@janesewell2843]

Just watched 🎉 congratulations guys I can sense your excitement.x

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you Jane! It doesn’t usually take much to get us excited hahaha, but this really is something we can’t wait to experience more and hopefully bring everyone along for the ride!

[@anneoreilly9007]

We were on the same cruise and we found the same experience with breakfast, that morning. It was cold. The previous Sea Day, breakfast was wonderful.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Anne! Yeah not sure why we had those few little issues as it wasn’t really busy at that time. Still, we enjoyed what we had and that omelette was delicious!

[@mariahanc9842]

Loving the vlogs guys ❤❤

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Mariah! Last episode of this series next week…. Then it’s back to Orlando!!

[@leejon8716]

I cannot find the the vlog were you see the gators at the crazy golf ?

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Oh think it’s the one from February where we have the Denny’s breakfast. We walk along that way after we’ve eaten….,

[@paulorourke4315]

The view at the back of the bar is gorgeous! So did you become Disney cruise members ?

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Yep, we’re DVC members now. Stay tuned for our next series where we’ll be staying in four of the resorts and doing an exclusive DVC event!!! Thanks for coming with us on this one!

[@xxBIGDAVExx1]

Welcome to the DVC club or should I say welcome home.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Dave! Excited to see where this next adventure takes us! Cheers for joining us!

[@xxBIGDAVExx1]

Riviera is our home as well we love it there.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

@@xxBIGDAVExx1 We had a look around a few years ago and thought it was lovely… so excited to be having a little stay!

[@xxBIGDAVExx1]

@@TheBlokesFromStoke we brought there back in 2019 wasn’t even finished. Have stayed there 13 nights now as well as Wilderness Lodge 3 nights, have 1 cheeky night in Grand Floridian booked in Oct trip using our points. Also rented some out during pandemic and gifted a night to friends. It works for us so far. Can’t wait to here your opinion. 8 nights for you now isn’t it ?

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

@@xxBIGDAVExx1 Yep, not long to go!!

[@aqualiv7978]

Was it better value than doing it off the cruise?

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Hiya! They were offering some savings incentives because we were on the ship but not sure if this is something they do all the time…. It may be different when you’re signing up at a resort or on line…
