- Have you heard about the DVC Member Cruise and all the swag you get? Today I'm bringing you a HUGE HAUL and I'm sharing everything I received as a gift on my recent Disney Vacation Club Member Cruise. I was blown away by how nice everything was and YES I got it all home (barely;). Enjoy! (ETA I found a blooper!! I call the Empire State Building the Statue of Liberty. My brain does that regularly. See if you can find the mistake;)

I was so excited to find your video!! I think I have the best job in the world and get to design/create many of the gifts for the DVC Member Cruise each year. However, I don't often get feedback from those that actually receive the gifts. Already working hard on the 2020 Alaska sailing :)
Oh my word, Alisa, you all did SO GOOD!!!!!! Seriously no words and I can only imagine you all are a bit like the team that puts together Oprah’s favorite things although I’m sure it’s a ton of work!! THANK YOU for all you did for us and for commenting!!🥰🥰🥰
Leave it to Jen to connect with a real DVC designer!! I use my beautiful gray Member Cruise 2018 satchel every day!
What a fun job!!! (I’m sure it’s work but fun!)
Alissa, have you worked on the 2022 Alaska cruise gifts? We're scheduled for that sailing.
OMG, a reusable straw AND the fan? But wait, there’s more. Tumbler AND backpack? But wait, there’s more. Coasters AND Maleficent bag with Maleficent horns? But wait, there’s more. DVC canvas tote AND Lion King keepsake box with prints? That is AMAZING swag. 🤩
It was like Christmas everyday . . . .
Isn't it amazing how much stuff they give you, and like you said it isn't cheap or cheaply made items either. I do like how there is a balance of practical and "frivolous" things, but also keepsakes you will treasure.
Yes I was very happy with the mix of items, Ashley!!
Watching this as I am hankering to get on my rescheduled DVC Member cruise, LOL! Thank you for this video!!!!
I would love to be a gift bag putter togetherer for events like this! That skeleton print would be perfect for Halloween decor, too. 😄
Oh my goodness, right?!
I am a gift bag putter togetherer for this event - it's a TON of work...but so worth it!!
@@DisneyDeeva that is so amazing! Do you work in marketing for dvc? (If this is too personal to ask I'm @jlbnerdy on twitter 😁)
@@jlbnerdy I work for a promotional products company. We partner with Disney.
@@DisneyDeeva that is so cool! I want your job!
Really, Really nice gifts this time. Sometimes they are nice but not really very practical. This set seems to have a lot of really useful stuff, and collectors item stuff. Especially the books and the keepsake box. Really like the door magnets. "But wait there's more" There is always more on a DVC Member Cruise. Great video.
Thanks, Chris! And also thanks for all your great advice going in!!
That beach box thing is such a great idea. Usually, Dad is the one who sits on the chair and watches our stuff. Normally, you would think you wouldn't have a problem but this one time we went to this beach in Tampa, and we did have a problem. We rented a cabana and found out there was this local guy who watches people and takes over their cabana until they show up. It was scary because there have been times in the past where when the kids were little we'd leave them at the cabana while we went in the water. So I'm the new number one fan of a lock box at the beach.
Amazing haul!!
You got some great stuff. But I have to pick the safe as my favorite. It's the most unique thing.
Yes isn’t that cool? I didn’t even know things like that existed!
As I have mentioned it is on my bucket list to go on a Disney Cruise, But it sounds like the DVC cruise is the way to go when I do go. Now to convince my significant other.
Dean really it’s like combining D23 with a Disney Cruise!
Oh the Don Hahn book ... I’m drooling!
Carol it’s on Amazon! Just found it yesterday. Just search Don Hahn and it should come up.
Oh sweet - I will look that up! Thanks!
Jen, you are such a joy to watch. This was such fun! Thank you!
Absolutely my pleasure, Camille!
I've been waiting for this one. Lots of great swag, they really did hook you guys up.
Seriously so amazing. They absolutely did!!
There are always so many great surprises with Disney.
Love, Love, Love all your amazing things
So true!!
Wow. That was awesome!!!!!
So glad you like it, Sandy!
My husband completely lost it when you showed the Silly Symphony Skeleton Bones picture. He was like we have to go on that cruise, he loves that short!
Lol yeah the cruise mixed with all the Disney archival stuff was extremely cool!
Wow! What amazing gifts!! 😍
Didn’t they do a great job, Buffie??
Ahhh!!!! SO MUCH STUFF!! 😍😍😍
Seriously, Shannon, it was so crazy great!
Very impressed by your cruise & swag!!! I’m so happy for you 😁
Thank you so much, Sierra!😍
Wow! What great swag! It's a good thing that you have been cleaning out your closets so you have a place to store it all 😁.
Trust me much will be given away to you guys!! Stay tuned....🥰🥰🥰
This haul gave me all the feels 😍 what beautiful gifts Disney provided for you!!
Seriously I was very impressed! Thanks for watching!
That’s a WHOLE LOTTA swag! 🖤
Right?! When I put it all together for the photo I was shocked!
What an amazing experience! And fabulous gifts! I love how so many items would be useful on Disney trips!
Yes they were almost all very practical!!
What a fun experience for sure!!
It really was!!
Nice items and great memories!
Absolutely agree on both counts, Margy!
Awesome vlog! So glad you had a fantastic time.😊
Thank you so much!
What awesome gifts...
Loved when you say almost done and shows 15 more things LOL
That is very typically me....🤣🤣🥰
Wow, so much cool stuff!!
They did such an amazing job, Kelley, truly!
I love that everything they gave seemed to be real quality items!
I totally agree - there wasn't any junk in the entire group and as someone who is trying to downsize stuff in my life, that was very much appreciated! I'll still be giving a lot of it away but again, glad to be able to give away GOOD STUFF.
Omg I loooove tervis; my favorite brand of cup! How cool!!!
I seriously love it!
I love the gifts! Great video!
Thank you so much, Amy!
Wow! So many amazing gifts! Both of those books look amazing!
Corrie I love books so much!
Wow that’s a lot of amazing stuff!!!!😃 I so need to go on a Disney vacation club cruise.
Jen, you would LOVE it, especially with all the cool presentations they offer.
I like that you mentioned it's different from Halloween on the High Seas, I'm sure some will ask. My bag was 10 lbs over the 50 lbs limit on the way home, eek. But...worth it! I love that you are sending Kiera (sp?) the book, so sweet. They were SO amazing. Another great video, Jen!
I was at 47 pounds - whew!😳😂😂😂
Some pretty cool stuff, my favorite was the coasters.
Aren’t they so amazing?!?! Thanks for watching, Gina!
Love that canvas tote and the pictures, so many special goodies!
We were very spoiled, Helen!!
Such awesome swag! Especially the artwork box. So beautiful!
They did such a great job with everything, Ashley! Just gorgeous.
But wait, there’s more! So many awesome gifts!! Thank you for sharing! I think my favorite would have been those prints, those look sooooo nice!!😍
I'm completely in love with them as well, Nataly!
What memorable gifts you received! Sounds like an amazing cruise! Adding a DVC member cruise to my bucket list...
Sherri you will love it!!! Not sure if I’ll ever be able to go again but so glad I did it once!
I love all the gifts and the story behind them. I CANNOT believe all of the swag you received!
It was truly unreal, Katelyn! Like Christmas everyday!
Oh, like the practical aspect of so many of the gifts so that you can actually use them.
Also, you are such a good person. I hope she loves the book.
I know she will!! I’m happy to be able to do it!🥰
That is an impressive haul. Looks like a wonderful experience. Welcome home.
Thanks, Emilie!! I’m glad to be home.🥰
What fun goodies, I love the canvas tote!
It’s every well designed, Tammy, and we know how i feel about a good bag.🤣😍
Wow, what great swag! That's awesome for you!
Seriously it was amazing!
Incredible haul! Wow! You got some really beautiful items. That fan is so smart. Love that book!
I've been reading the book off and on all weekend and it is so good! I actually found it on Amazon for only $29 if you're interested. Just search author Don Hahn and it will come up.
So much stuff!
Lol right?! My luggage was so full, Kara!
That was some AMAZING swag! But, of course, my favorite was the coasters:)
I absolutely adore them!
What a great haul! I really love the pocket-size itinerary/activities guide!! What a useful resource and great little keepsake!!! Oh, and gorgeous pin!!!
I really felt like everything was so well thought out! Thanks, Caitlin.🥰
I’ve been waiting all day to watch this, such a nice Friday night treat! So much swag, that keepsake box was amazing. I never know what to do when I get prints and they solved that issue with storage and a frame to showcase one at a time. 🌊 🚢 🎁
I loved that as well!! Hard to choose my favorite but that comes close.
Wow, what amazing gifts you received! I must say, though, that those ears look so beautiful on you! Hugs, Kim
Thank you, Kim!! I’m glad I got them.😍
Holy 🐮 those gifts look amazing. Now to find a friend who is DVC 😁
Lol yup!!
So I have to say I didn’t know about the swag on the DVC cruise and I’m in awe!
At first the practical me was excited about the fan with the charger but then wow that book was beautiful and then the shadow box with all of the prints - I mean WOW how amazing!
Thank you for sharing all of that awesome swag with us!
Also how amazing is it that you are sending the book to the sign language interpreter! That’s is very thoughtful and kind!
They are true artists and I am thrilled I can do that for her. Truly a very special gift!
Great swag 😃
Thanks, Jules!!
Very nice swag! I like the thought that went into practical and unique gifts! Well done by DVC. Hope you are getting your land legs back. Have a lovely weekend!
They did an excellent job all around, Cindy! And i hope you have a great weekend as well.🥰
I might have to become a DVC member just to get all of that swag! Thanks for sharing it all with us!
YES DO IT!! (I mean, with all those grandbabies seems like a good call to me;)
So many awesome item but I would have loved the fan because Florida is hot and those are lifesavers
Agree! The fact that it’s also a backup battery is awesome!
Very nice gifts. I can't wait to see the vlogs of the cruise.
I'm excited to start editing!
Wow, that’s an awesome haul!! My husband and I are constantly going back and forth on whether DVC is right for us or not....maybe one day!
It took us years to decide as well so I totally get this!
On my bucket list to do.
It was on mine as well, Norleen!🥰
Incredible amount of gifts! Going on an anniversary year I suspect helped. Really nice stuff
I'm super happy with all of it!!
Such great swag - almost like going to a conference!
Actually it really did feel like D23 on a boat!
Maleficent gear! My favorite villain. What great stuff!
Seeing the premiere on the ship was amazing! I love her too!
Love the fan/charger so useful. Plus totally agree the little Riviera coffee cup needs a saucer. I’m not coffee drinker but drink tea and saucer would go perfect with that cup.
Right? It’s so obviously the size that needs one! 😍
You doubled my anticipation for our August 2020 Members cruise to Alaska! I can't imagine what Alaska themed swag we might bring home. It will be our First Members cruise and only our second cruise. Thanks for the info.
Oh hurray!! And after your busy season that cruise is going to be lovely.🤩🤩🤩
Such awesome swag. That safe is really cool. I love that they included practical items.
Yes I loved that as well!! I’ll actually use many of the gifts and they weren’t just for show.😍
@@JenLefforge I would definitely be using a bunch of those items too if I had gotten them. Which of the items do you think will be the most useful for you?
Omigosh, they really did think of everything! It’s all beautiful.
I want to be in that team that picks all the stuff - like Oprah’s favorite things!🤣😍
Jen Lefforge Now I’m bummed that no guidance counsellor ever mentions that as a viable career option!
Yowza that’s a lot of stuff! I love the print of Mickey on the Riviera most of all 😍😍😍
Did you like my wait that’s not Mickey at Disney that’s Mickey at the like REALLY REAL Riviera!😳🤣🥰
Jen Lefforge YES
We are DVC members unfortunately the cruise is a bit out of our price bracket but wow a lot is included I would need another case to fly trans Atlantic lol so enjoyed the film of you sailing out of New York it was a relaxing watch after a 12hr shift much appreciated ❤️
Norma, seriously, I wish they had offered an option to just have DIsney ship it all home! I mean I'm sure they would have but probably cost a fortune.
Jen Lefforge we have to be careful when we fly from the uk with what we bring back we paid for an extra case last year and we are going in November so we will most probably do this again I am nervous about them shipping it to the uk and would need a stiff drink when they would give us the price lol
Wow! That is impressive! So cool! I love the coasters! 🤗
Me too! A few things I plan to give away but not those!
Jen Lefforge 😍
So glad that I found your video. We made the cut to get on the 2022 Members cruise to Alaska! We had been scheduled to sail in 2020, but you know how that went. If our swag is anything like yours, I will need that extra suitcase that I've been told to take. We might even need a pack mule. I'll try to get back to you afterwards with how ours went.
How was it? Can you share your gifts and experience?
Omg it would have been so funny if the eye mask would have had Maleficent’s actual eyes on them. Nice haul tho, Dramamine as a parting gift. 🤣💖
Thankfully I don’t get sea sick but if I did this cruise would have been a nightmare!!
Wow that Frozen book seems like it would be beautiful. That’s so nice of you to send it to a CM. So cool that you got to meet some Disney celebs on the cruise too!
Wow I love that lock up beach container too!
Lauren the sign language interpreters were so incredible! Half the time we were in the theater I was completely enchanted by them!
Wow everything was a great no junk all super cute and useful!
Yes that’s what impressed me as well, Amanda! So well thought out.😍
What was the name of the book again? I would love to order it online
Good lord! I wouldn’t even know what to do with all those amazing goodies!
I will definitely be giving some away, Mark Alan!
Great video!!! It is so awesome that Disney puts magic in everything they do and the detail and thought behind each gift is so special. Thank you for sharing your experience. Do you know if only the DVC member receives the swag or if I would take a non-DVC guest would they also receive the gifts?
Nancy that is such a great question and I think it’s for both parties in the room but I’m not 100% sure???
Jen I think that outline of the building on the coasters may be a building on the Disney Studio Lot in Burbank...... I think the one in Hollywood Studios mimics it.
I'll have to check with them! I know for sure it's not the Statue of Liberty (clearly I meant Empire State Building;)
Oh my goodness such good Disney swag! Where did you get your monogrammed Mickey pullover? I must have one for my upcoming December trip.
It’s from The Blonde Ruby! Love her stuff. theblonderuby.com/
Wow! You really were spoiled 🤗x
Seriously, Kelly, so true!
Oh someday, I'll win the Lottery, but into DVC, & go on one of these!
Always good to have a new thing for the bucket list! I honestly never thought I’d do one either!🥰
@@JenLefforge that haul was AMAZING!
Hey Jen! It was so lovely meeting you and chatting with you about interpreting services on board. I am truly blessed to be able to do the work I do and meet all the people I get to meet. I’m watching all your videos getting ready for my upcoming trip to Disney. Thankyou so much for the beautiful gift. It is so thoughtful of you and I very much appreciate it. Thankyou! 🤟🏻
Hurray you found me! I’m mailing it today! Loved our conversation, Keara, and I hope you all have a fantastic trip!🥰🥰🥰
that was some SWEET swag. thought about a DVC cruise for years. now I'll be $5000 less in 2021. On my list of thing to do now. 2020 all planned out.
Happy to, um, help?? LOL!
U r awesome
No YOU are! Thanks, Michelle
WOW, you got so much cool stuff!!!! Did you EACH get these gifts? For example, was there 1 blanket or 2 left in your room? Do they give a gift to each person in the room or just the adults, or just 1 gift per room? Did that question make sense, lol?!
Yes! The question totally makes sense and we both got the gifts!
Please do more member cruise haul videos in the future
But I would have to go on another member cruise? Oh.🥰🥰🥰
You’re almost there Jen #tenthousand
I know! Hopefully by Christmas! It's what I'm asking Santa for;).
Wow! Do you have to use DVC points to take this cruise? Oh my word, I love the coasters!
Nope! You can absolutely pay cash!
Wow, fun gifts! Did kids get gifts too? Were they the same or kid focused?
No gifts for kids that I'm aware of but then we weren't traveling with kids. There were honestly very few children on the boat!
Does the Tervis work with their Tervis AR app? If so it's really neat!
I didn’t know there was such a thing!
@@JenLefforge LOL! Well you MAY have even MORE to your swag than you thought (at least I hope I'm not building up a big nothing!) There was a little slip of paper in my tumbler that told me to download the app and point the camera at the cup.
Wowza, the gifts are incredible. Was the price of the DVC cruise comparable to the regular Disney cruise?
I honestly don't know as I'd never done a 7 night before so didn't have anything to compare it to? I do know that they never offer discounts so in that regard slightly more expensive.
Can you make a video about the new laws? Also what are you plans for your channel?
Yes I plan on doing that next week! Thanks, Estella!!
Hi Jen! Thanks for sharing all the great DVC gifts that you received on the cruise, that is pretty cool that they do that. I have questions, sorry that there are so many, hopefully you will able to answer all of them. Did you do try to do this video in a single take? I only noticed a couple of breaks, nicely done! Was this the 20th overall DVC Member Cruise or the 20th DVC Cruise of 2019? How many member cruises do they do a year? If they only do 1 a year, I have to believe that demand for it must be pretty high. Did I understand it correctly Is the cruise line doing away with the plastic straws? If so, are they doing away with straws in the resorts too? The safe is really cool, I have a similar one I purchased for my Hawaii vacation 6 years ago and use it every year. That was really cool that they showed you Maleficent movie on board before it was released in theaters. The fact that each of them have a story is so great. Those prints are awesome! I cannot believe that you got all of that included! I cannot image what the value of all that is! One last question, why did you fly out of LaGuardia instead of Newark? Ken
Hi Ken! LGA was the most convenient choice for flight times, they usually do one member cruise a year but did two this year and yes they sell out quickly! This was the 20th member cruise. I only made a couple of edits so thank you for that!
Jen Lefforge Your videos are really stepping it up. It is amazing watching them grow since you have started them a year and half ago. Cannot wait to see how they continue to improve in the future. No pressure, I just get that feeling that they will continue to improve more. Ken
Just appeared in my inbox. Yeah!! “Free” Disney stuff. Is there anything that is really free when it comes to Disney??
LOL yes I was very careful to say INCLUDED in the video.
This is wonderful. Making me want to go. The gifts they leave are they one per person or one per cabin? There would be 4 of us.
I believe all the adults in the cabin get the gifts?
4 people in the room = 4 gifts. In most cases it is 1 gift for each person registered on the cruise. In certain (rare) occasions, it will be one gift per cabin.
I need to go on a Disney Cruise!! What time of year do you think is best?
Anytime but the fall? Seriously I won’t be sailing in tropical storm season again soon.
Not sure if you’ve answered this, but, do you have yo pay the total cost of the DVC member cruise at the time of booking or is it like other Disney cruises where you make the initial payment and pay the balance over time? Thanks in advance!
That’s the one downside - you do have to pay in full at time of booking
@@JenLefforge ok. Thank you ☺️. Good to know!
Great gifts they gave y’all. I love the canvas tote bag. #JENGOALS 😘❤️
And I love the pin. You already know what I would do to it, cut off the back and make a magnet. Lol.
LOL yes, I know, Major. Thanks for watching, Friend!
Call me paranoid but I love the small safe lol always afraid of my camera gear or wallets getting stolen when at water parks or beaches
I hadn’t even thought about it at the water parks but you’re so right🥰
The saves are also great for college kids for dorm and libraries.
Safe...not save
Which Etsy shop did you that sweatshirt from?
It’s from The Blonde Ruby theblonderuby.com/
Does each person get each gift? Or is it 1 of each gift per cabin?
Each adult in the room gets one. We had two adults, so two sets of gifts.
hahahah! If you have a lot of evil to do.
Because you just never know, Kristin.
