Hey there, Phillip! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney - it's always a great day when I get to chat with a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member! It looks like you are currently immersed in the magic at
Walt Disney World Resort, so I will cut right to the chase so you have the information you're looking for.
The
Membership Magic Beyond program has been a great addition for DVC Members. This enhanced benefits package unlocks all sorts of extra features, from a one-time
Memory Maker entitlement to the ability to purchase extra
One-Time-Use Points. We added this last year before a family vacation, and it was definitely worth the cost.
I see that you're specifically interested in the Members-only Character experience at the
Disney Vacation Club ImaginAtrium - A Member Lounge, located in
EPCOT. We actually stopped in for this experience more than once last summer, and it's a lot of fun! The Characters are typically available from 5:30-8:30pm, and you can also grab a snack and a drink while you're in the lounge. I recommend checking in with the DVC Cast Members at the stand in the
ImageWorks shop in the Imagination! Pavilion in case there are any changes to the schedule.
The Member Lounges are a great spot to take a break during a long day in the theme parks, charge your devices, and talk strategy for where to go next! The Membership Magic Beyond option also includes priority access to the lounges at EPCOT and
Magic Kingdom Park, so hopefully you can take advantage of that during your visit.
Phillip, I hope you're having the best day ever at The Most Magical Place on Earth and that you get to spend some quality time with some special pals at the Character experience! Please come see us again at planDisney anytime if we can help with other questions about your Membership or your next Disney adventure.
See Ya Real Soon!
Susan
