I have! It's nice. They do tell you about point discounts and encourage you to buy, but they serve snacks, mimosas and non-alcoholic drinks. They also give away several prizes.

Will they send out invites to the DVC members or is it in the Navigator?

Oh nevermind. That's that big pirate Mickey thing they leave on the bed, huh? I forgot about that.
If you are a DVC member, you are supposed to get a magnet on your door, a box with lanyards and an invite to the "Member Celebration". It is also in the navigator. On our cruise (5-night from Miami) it was on the morning of our first full day, but I have heard that sometimes it is on embarkation day. At the Member Celebration I got a hat for everyone in my party and then afterwards we all got a bag and a bingo card. There were some prices given out during the event as well. They showed some videos, not only about DVC, but also about Adventures by Disney and about what is new at Disney parks (which included all the worldwide Disney parks surprisingly!). There were pastries, mimosas and all kind of non-alcoholic drinks available. I thought it was a neat event and while they told you about the available incentives, it was not too much of a sales pitch.
Also, make sure to visit the DVC desk daily, they hand out small things to the DVC members daily. One day we also got a small lithograph in our cabin from DVC. I really liked all this!
Oh, and if you don't get the magnet and the lanyards, just go and ask the DVC people - I did it and got the stuff from them directly.

Do you get these things if you don't use your points to sail? We're paying cash.

From what I've heard, yes. You don't have to be sailing on points.
Yes, I did not use points either.

Thanks! Would you be able to say what kind of bag it is? Plastic or drawstring style?
Drawstring with mesh on the front. I did not like it very much, but the friend I travelled with was happy to get it.
And I am happy to add to the cruise excitement!

Nope! They've known for us every time! If they should miss you somehow, you can just go let them know and they'll fix it.

Excellent, I'll make sure to pack my member ID
You don't even have to. They'll take your word for it! They have your legal name and birth date.

My family and I just cruised on the Fantasy in May and we used some points for the cruise and cash for the rest. We went to every meet and greet for DVC and got stuff (hats, bags, nice leather binder, etc.). Everyday my wife and I made a point to pass by the DVC booth to recieve the days goodies which were nice touches to the trip. Also, while we were on the cruise they had made the announcement public for Grand Floridian DVC and started offering sales to DVC members only on the cruise. Well, I didn't know it at the time, but we needed more points and from GF DVC resort. That's what my wife said and I didn't argue. Haha! Now they did have very good deals on the ship at other resorts that are still for sale, so good luck and enjoy the gifts!

we just got back in May from the Dream and we NEVER said anything about being DVC members...they just knew!!! we also got the mesh backpack/bag, leather binder. and hats and pins, and the lanyards were on our bed.....we attended one of the presentations just to see if they said anything about GF DVC, but all they said was what we already knew, didnt know at that time when points would become available for purchase....going again on the DREAM in June 2014 and counting down the days~!!
