    Can guests who are staying in vacation club rooms at a resort hotel use the vacation club hospitality suites at the parks?

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Thomas! 

    You are as welcome as can be here at planDisney. How exciting that you are will be staying at a Disney Vacation Club Resort. As a Member for the last 22 years, Disney Vacation Club Deluxe Studios and Villas have been our home sweet home wherever we've wandered and wherever we've roamed.  They sure make family vacations so much easier.

    Thomas, the Disney Vacation Club Member Benefits and perks - including access to Disney Vacation Club Lounges such as ImaginAtrium in EPCOT, McKim's Mile House at Magic Kingdom Park, and at the Top of The World Lounge - A Villains Lair Atop Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary Resort - are reserved exclusively for eligible Disney Vacation Club Members who present their Digital Member Card and valid photo ID.  Unfortunately, they are not available to Guests who are non-Members, even if you are staying at a Disney Vacation Club Resort in a Deluxe Studio or Villa. 

    If you are traveling with an eligible Disney Vacation Club Member, and they present proof of eligibility, they would be able to bring in up to four Guests per Membership Card or the number of Guests on their reservation.  Unfortunately, unless you are listed as the Member on the Disney Vacation Club account and have proof of eligibility - specifically, the Y on your Digital Member Card and a valid photo ID matching the name on the Membership - you would not be able to access the lounges without a Member present.

    I wish I had better news for you, Thomas. But, I hope you can enjoy all of the many magical places and spaces during your upcoming Disney vacation, and I especially hope you enjoy your home away from home at your Disney Vacation Club Resort.  If you have any further Disney vacation planning questions, soar back here to see me and I'll be so happy to help you.  I'll be right here, at the second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.

    Magically Yours,
    Keri
