Well...I went...I saw...I conquered! 
All I can say is...it was <i>fantastic</i> - expensive it was, but it was worth every point without a doubt - a truly unique experience.
A ship full of DVC'ers...one big family...and boy, do us DVC'ers know how to party Everyone was so friendly and chatty - where-ever I went, the lift, the deck, a show, the beach...people would stop and chat or say hello or just ask if we were having fun 
Then, there were the Stateroom goodies...
On entering our Stateroom there were limited edition Dangle SS Membercruise pins, a couple of other WD Classic Collection pins, and some really cute cardboard Mickey hands for us to all wave with at the Sailaway party (this was quite a bundle when added to our return cruisers pins and beach towel)
2nd night there was a little carry-all DVC bag
3rd night there was our DVC t-shirts with the big member cruise logo on the back - blue for adults, yellow for ankle biters - pretty cute, though made me feel a bit like a clone when everyone was wearing them the next day at Castaway Cay, LOL.
Then on the last night, there was a <i>very</i> cool collectors Teapot (and even some Tea!) in the room - black and white Mickey Sketch design and DVC exclusive printed on the bottom - a nice parting gift
Oh, and <i>then</i> there were all the extra activities laid on. Some guy, (can't think of his name right now) who was the ex-coach of the Redwings in the NHL was a guest and did a question/answer session and signing (and he's a DVC'er to boot - he rocks!). There was Andrea McCardle (sp?) who was Belle on Broadway for 2 years, she did a special show, and a signing the next day as well. There was another guy called, ummmm...I'll look that name up too! Tim something, he was a Disney Imagineer who was part of the team who designed both the Disney Magic and Wonder and just finished working on the DLP Studio's - he did a talk about all his work, plus a very cool ship tour telling us all about the special little features they worked into the ships design - it was truly fascinating. Oh, and on the 2nd Castaway Cay day, which usually is just a beach day there, they laid on some extra activities, like a Sandcastle competition, a Scavenger Hunt, Beach Volley ball (!) which if you participated in, you 'earned' vouchers to go into a draw to win prizes - it was a lot of fun too...even though I'd never played VolleyBall in my LIFE
Fortunately, everyone was playing in the spirit of things and nobody seemed to give a hoot, hehehe.
If they did another one of these (WHEN, the do another one of these) if I can work my dates, I would <i>definately</i> do it again!!!
I'm hooked....DVC...you can just reel me in now
