"Welcome home," Patricia! It's great to have you here at planDisney and I'm excited to chat with you about your December vacation!
Patricia, as a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member, I appreciate the discounts offered and love to stretch my vacation dollars! You will find a large array of discounts offered and I would encourage you to peruse the
Member Benefits section when you have time. This is a great place to get activity inspiration, but I will be sure to highlight a few! (
Just keep in mind that these are subject to change.)
Now, let's first talk about theme park tickets. Currently there are no listed discounts for theme park tickets, however Disney Vacation Club Members are eligible to take advantage of
special pricing on select annual passes. If you are frequent visitors in the parks, this is a great perk. As part of the
phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort, purchases of new annual passes are currently on pause, but keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog as you never know when sales will resume.
The number one discount my family and I took advantage of this past trip was dining! Many of the table-service restaurants such as
Be Our Guest Restaurant or
Garden Grill Restaurant offer members a percentage off the total bill. Take a look at this
full list of possibilities and hopefully you'll spy one (or more) that your whole family would love.
Patricia, I'm not sure if your grandkids love putting around as much as my kids do, but you'll find that Disney Vacation Club Members can enjoy a
discount at both Winter Summerland Miniature Golf and
Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf. If your family enjoys Disney Springs, why not treat them to bird's eye view in the
Aerophile—The World Leader in Balloon Flight. Currently Disney Vacation Club Members are able to take flight for a discounted price! For
Brave warriors like Merida, I would suggest timing this experience for sunset.
Finally, since you're traveling in December, you might be wondering about
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. One of my favorite events of the year, this party is bound to put your whole crew in the holiday spirit. With the phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort, dates and details about this party have not yet been released, but keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for announcements!
Patricia, I hope this helps as you're looking ahead to your Magical vacation. Please come on back to planDisney with any other questions you might have!
