Hi Michael, welcome home and welcome back to planDisney! Being a
Disney Vacation Club Member certainly has its benefits! And that extends beyond the great villa accommodations, such as the discounts we receive for merchandise, dining, and other unique experiences! Now, let’s talk all about dining specials!
Michael, DVC Members generally receive a 10% discount for food and nonalcoholic beverages at most table service restaurants at Walt Disney World. I recommend visiting the
Member Benefits page to see the latest dining offerings for DVC Members. While certainly not unique to DVC members, don’t forget that there’s a
Free Dining Plan for Kids promotion for 2026. We did the Dining Plan during our last visit over spring break and it was a great opportunity to try restaurants we hadn’t been to before! Note that these benefits and perks are always subject to change so it’s best to revisit the site shortly before your visit to see the latest offerings.
One exclusive dining experience unique to DVC Members is the
Wicked Wind Down experience at the Top of the World Lounge - A Villains Lair at Bay Lake Tower. As part of this experience, you’ll receive a cocktail and appetizer from the lounge’s villains-themed menu along with a chef’s selection of a dessert of the day. You’ll also enjoy access to a reserved viewing area for Magic Kingdom fireworks on the outdoor terrace. You’re able to book this by calling Member Services starting 60 days prior to your Resort arrival.
Michael, I hope this information is helpful for you as you plan your trip for next month. If you have any additional questions about getting the most out of your DVC membership, feel free to
contact me and my fellow panelists here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Sean
