    Can the guests (my kids) on my reservation use my dvc discount if I am not present? My kids are older and will probably spend some time shopping and going out on their own so just wondering if I can link them to my member card to receive the dvc discount

    Welcome Home, Jaise!

    Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney. Oh boy! It looks like your magical Disney vacation is just around the riverbend.

    Jaise, as a Disney Vacation Club Member for over 22 years, don't you just love the flexibility of Membership? It has afforded our family so many dreamy vacations year after year. And, the Member Benefits and extras have added so much extra value - making our family trips even more affordable.

    While eligible Disney Vacation Club Members can enjoy the Member Benefits and discounts on tickets, tours, events, and experiences, this benefit can only be used by the Member-owners (those on the deed.) For example, only my husband and I can receive discounts on select merchandise and dining as we are the Members.  So unfortunately, your children would not be able to use the Member discounts when they are on their own.  

    In some cases, Members may be able to add adult children as Associate Members, which enables them to make reservations and bank Vacation Points.  However, as a Member is defined as an owner who is on the deed and the one who receives a Membership Card, only the Member is entitled to all of the privileges of Membership.  

    I should add that merchandise and dining locations ask for proof of Membership, which would be your Digital Member Card and your photo ID with your name matching your Membership Card.  There is also a code in the Digital Member Card that notifies the Cast Member if the Member is eligible for Member Extras - including discounts.  

    I wish I had better news to share, Jaise. But I hope your family is able to enjoy a wonderful vacation. If you have further questions, soar back here to see me.  I'll be so happy to help you.

    Magically Yours,
    Keri
