Hi Linda,
My family is also members of Disney Vacation Club and have held Annual Passes to Walt Disney World for many years. We love taking advantage of the many benefits that come with both! Over the years we have enjoyed discounted Annual Passes through Disney Vacation Club, and discounts on merchandise and dining through both Disney Vacation Club as well as Annual Passholder benefits. Let me offer you some thoughts on your situation.
Many benefits for both Disney Vacation Club and Annual Passholders may remain the same year after year. It is important to remember that these benefits can also change or be removed at any time. Here is a link to
Annual Passholder Benefits, as well as one for
Disney Vacation Club member benefits. You can peruse these pages for benefits of each.
If you are looking for special offers on rooms or packages at Walt Disney World, also take a look at the
special offers for Walt Disney World page. Here you will find currently available offers with their expiration for booking date as well as last date for vacations to qualify for those offers. Be sure to log into your Walt Disney World account, because then you will be able to see any categories for which you qualify, such as Annual Passholder and Disney Vacation Club member. If you are looking for room discounts, I see that there is an
offer available for the beginning of 2018 that you do not need to be an Annual Passholder or Disney Vacation Club member for, so you could take a look at that one that is available to guests.
Please do let us know if you have any further questions, Linda!
