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 sweet - I will look that up! Thanks!

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.

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.

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
