Hello Zoe!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Let me be one of the first to congratulate you on becoming new Disney Vacation Club Members! It has opened up a new world of fabulous family vacations for us, and I hope you are going to love it as much as we do.
My absolute favorite perk of Membership is the ability to purchase discounted Walt Disney World Annual Passes. We purchase Walt Disney World Annual Passes for the entire family, then schedule at least two vacations during that one year period. I have calculated the price comparison each time I go to purchase our Annual Passes, and for us, the Annual Pass has consistently been a better value than two separate sets of multi-day tickets. You also receive discounts on select dining and merchandise with your Annual Pass, as well as special Passholder Events and a quarterly Newsletter.
Currently, Disney Vacation Club Members can purchase either a Walt Disney World Annual Pass, or a Walt Disney World Premium Annual Pass with a discount. There is not a strictly seasonal pass available to Members at this time like the ones for Florida Residents. To purchase your discounted Annual Pass, you can visit the
Walt Disney World Ticket Store online, call Disney Vacation Club Member Services, or wait until your arrival and purchase in person.
I hope this information is helpful, Zoe. Please come back and let us know what additional questions you have about your Membership or trip planning. We love to help fellow Members.
Wishing you a very warm, “Welcome Home!”
- Kate
