Embark on one of TWO Member Cruises coming in 2015!

I’m excited to announce that Disney Vacation Club will embark on two unique Member Cruise voyages in 2015 as part of Membership Magic: our traditional 4-night Bahamian sailing and our first 7-night Member Cruise to Alaska!

Both voyages will elevate the already spectacular Disney Cruise Line experience with added special entertainment, in-room gifts and more, all created with Members in mind. Here’s a quick look at the two itineraries.

Up first on the calendar is the 7-night Alaskan voyage, sailing aboard the Disney Wonder from May 25-June 1, 2015, out of Vancouver, B.C. Members will enjoy scheduled port days in Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan, an awe-inspiring pass through the Tracy Arm Fjord and two sea days filled with Disney Vacation Club-created entertainment. Both the special entertainment and the in-room gifts for this sailing will draw inspiration from the voyage’s wild and wintery setting, creating a Member Cruise unlike any other.

For Members who prefer sunglasses and sandals to scarves and sweaters, a 4-night Bahamian voyage will sail aboard the Disney Dream from Aug. 24-28, 2015, out of Port Canaveral, Florida. Two scheduled visits to Disney’s private-island paradise, Castaway Cay, will bookend an activity-filled sea day, with Disney Vacation Club-created entertainment celebrating Disney’s storied history and exciting future.

Bookings for both voyages will open on Sunday, June 22, 2014, with Member Services’ operating hours from 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m. EDT specifically for 2015 Member Cruise reservations. As previous Member Cruise voyages have quickly filled to capacity, calling early (at 1-800-800-9800 or 407-566-3800) is highly recommended.

After much speculation, innuendo, outtuendo, it was finally confirmed at the D23 Expo 2017 this past weekend that Walt Disney World is not only getting a new skyway transportation system that will take guests near and to other points of interest on property, but also a new Disney Vacation Club property!

Transportation will be coming via the new Disney Skyliner, a gondola transport offering never-before-seen birds-eye views of Walt Disney World that will connect the new Disney Vacation Club property, Disney’s Art of Animation, Pop Century and Caribbean Beach resorts with Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the International Gateway at Epcot.

The new Disney Riviera Resort will feature a rooftop restaurant that will offer “unbelievable views of nighttime spectaculars at both Epcot and Hollywood Studios” according to Bob Chapek.

Estimated to open in fall 2019, this new resort experience is slated to be the 15th Disney Vacation Club property with approximately 300 units spread across a variety of accommodation types.

Last week, Disney Vacation Club Moonlight Magic gave timeshare members a very special after-hours appreciation event at Disneyland Park. The evening included special character greets, complimentary treats (churros, ice cream, and popcorn) and most of the park available with short waits all around! In fact some of the longest lines were for churros! Here’s a few pics from the magical evening!

There’s no bigger merchandise phenomenon at Tokyo Disney Resort than Duffy & Friends, a group of plush characters designed exclusively for the parks that have taken on lives of their own as they spread to Hong Kong Disneyland, Shanghai Disney Resort, and Aulani. Duffy and his girlfriend ShellieMay have been flying off the shelves for years, but recent efforts to expand the line have brought popular characters Gelatoni and StellaLou into the fold.

Earlier this month, Hong Kong Disneyland introduced an exclusive new friend of Duffy, a canine pastry chef named Cookie. There’s scads of Cookie merchandise, food items and you can even meet Cookie on Main Street USA alongside Duffy himself. For now, Cookie can only be found at Hong Kong Disneyland.

On July 27, Aulani will introduce an exclusive character as well: the adorable ukulele-playing sea turtle, ‘Olu. While ‘Olu isn’t greeting guests at Aulani just yet, his line of merchandise will no doubt be a huge hit with Disney’s Hawaiian guests.

It’s unlikely we’ll see any of Duffy’s new friends at Disneyland or Walt Disney World, so your best bet is to book your own trip to visit all of Disney’s amazing properties in the Pacific region. Which of Duffy‘s friends is your favorite?

As Disney continues to roll out announcements at the D23 Destination D event in Orlando, we’ve just learned that DVC will be welcoming yet another new resort to the mix in Walt Disney World: Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge.

The deluxe new property nature-inspired resort will feature more than 900 hotel rooms and proposed Disney Vacation Club villas!

Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge is expected to open in a few years. No official opening date has yet been given.

This morning at D23’s Destination D event in Orlando, Bob Chapek (Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products Chairman) treated guests with a bunch of new announcements, confirmations and surprises about the upcoming few years at domestic Disney Parks.

If you followed along with us on Twitter this morning you probably saw the exciting announcements but if not, here’s your recap:
