I just received the 2009 Member Cruise information for Disney Vacation Club members.

Here's the info....

"Be there when Disney Vacation Club takes over the Disney Wonder for the S.S. Member Cruise 2009! On this one-of-a-kind voyage from September 13-17, 2009, you'll enjoy two scheduled tops at Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, plus exclusive offerings created for Disney Vacation Club Members:

Guest Appearances
Enjoy the company of special guests with live performances and autograph signings. We've welcomed Broadway stars, Disney Legends and Imagineers, as well as TV celebrities on past Member Cruises.

Special Shows & Activities
Meet your fellow Members during all-new activities and experience live shows created exclusively for Disney Vacation Club.

Magical Gifts & More
Unique surprises await you in your stateroom and limited edition Disney merchandise will also be available. Plus, you will be able to take advantage of exclusive onboard incentives."

"If you've never experienced a Member Cruise before, this is your chance to get in on the excitement. It's truly the ultimate Member event-and it will be one you'll remember for decades to come.

To request reservations, call Member Services on November 2, 2008 between 9:00am and 5:00pm EST. Just dial (800) 800-9800 or (407) 566-3800.

We expect to sell out quickly, so please stay on the line if you experience extended hold times. Be sure to visit dvcmember.com for Vacation Points Charts, 'Things to Know Before You Call,' and more booking information."

....is anyone going to this one or gone to one of the member cruises in the past?

I was wondering that also. Do you have to be a member to go on this cruise?

I believe that you do have to be a DVC member. But, I'm not 100% sure

I've never been on one of these, but I'd love to. Maybe one of the other DVCers can give us more info

I've never been on a member cruise, but I have been on Castaway Cay on the Magic the day after the Wonder was there with a member cruise...and it was decorated nicely for the DVC members, we were a little jealous that we missed it
Only members can cruise, and it sells out quickly. Sadly, I vowed to not take my kids out of school for vacations since my older one started high school, so the member cruise is out for me.

Barb, that is so kind of you. I doubt my kids would like me going away without them, but who cares?
