Hello! We also just returned from the July 9 cruise.
I agree with this. Personally, seeing the Summer at Sea stars was not all that important to us. And yet, we bumped into them quite frequently. My husband said several times throughout the cruise, "there's that dude again". It took about three times before I realized he was referring to Corbin Bleu.
I thought they were highly visible. While lunching with Absy she pointed out Tiffany Thornton nearby.
The 'star' stuff was a bonus. For us the real stars were Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Cinderella, Snow White, Mulan, etc...
And truthfully I thought having the TV stars onboard caused some inconveniences, mostly with the Goofy pool. They closed it early on Nassau day to get ready for the 4 p.m. show. So in the heat of the afternoon, when all the kids wanted to swim there was just the Mickey pool open. It was packed. My son and daughter were in it and DS refused to put his head underwater because he was afraid he'd get kicked. I told him it was just as well as he'd probably get e.coli from so many kids in a such a small pool.
Other DIS people on my cruise, who were not in suites, but in regular rooms had quite a bit of talk time and interaction with the stars, it had nothing to do with room category or DCL or being "chosen ones", and that whole "chosen one" is in my opinion not at accurate.

I agree with this also. We went expecting a great Disney vacation and that's exactly what we got. We did not get a "magical moment" certificate, my kids were not called on stage (and would have refused anyway), I did not win anything, and yet it was completely wonderful!!I personally would hope that everyone's own experience would be unique and memorable. While there is an expectation, and certainly there are standards for DCL to meet with providing service, no two cruisers can have an identical experience.
