Hi there, Janet!
"Welcome home" to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! As a fellow Disney Vacation Club Member, I just want to say that I love all the member benefits and perks I have been able to use on my many trips to the Disneyland Resort. Always show your Disney Vacation Club member ID to Cast Members at shopping and dining locations in the parks and hotels as many of these locations offer great discounts for members.
In the past, the Disneyland Resort has held a special holiday meal just for "DVC" members like yourself. We haven't seen details just yet about if this will be offered during the upcoming holiday season, though. My advice is to keep your eyes on the
Disney Parks Blog for details. Last year it was around this time that the Disney Parks Blog released the details of this event. You can also keep checking the
Member Benefits page on the Disney Vacation Club site as historically you will need to sign up via the DVC Member Services phone line.
Did you know that DVC members are also able to sign up for exclusive events like the Neighborhood Power Walk and Fitness in the Park at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa as well as the Member Tour of Soarin' Around the World? Make sure to sign up for these exclusive experiences before arrival by calling Member Services.
I hope this helps, and I wish you the most magical trip at the Happiest Place on Earth.
-Jennifer
