Hello There, Janelle!
Welcome to planDisney! How exciting that you are considering adding extra pixie dust to your Disney vacations with Membership Magic. As a
Disney Vacation Club Member for over 22 years, it has added a whole new world to our family trips. Disney Vacation Club has made dream vacations possible that wouldn't have been possible for both our family and my parents, who are also Members. As Walt Disney says, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." When Disney Vacation Club makes vacation dreams come true, it truly is fun and magical indeed.
Janelle, the minimum buy-in requirement to be eligible for Member Extras and benefits is currently
150 Vacation Points. Please note this is subject to change at any time and you must purchase directly through Disney Vacation Club for this eligibility.
Our family has 220 Vacation Points and this affords us at least one six or seven-night vacation to Walt Disney World each year, plus a little left over. Using your Vacation Points at Disney Vacation Club Resorts - either at Walt Disney World or Disneyland or at one of the beach properties - is the best use of your Vacation Points and they will stretch farther. But this year, for example, we are using our Vacation Points for a few days at Walt Disney World Resort, a few days at
Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort, and a few days at
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa! Now, that's Member Magic!
You can also add to your Vacation Point portfolio at any time, as my parents have done. They have three contracts and they use their Vacation Points for Disney vacations of their dreams, including
Disney Cruise Line cruises to Alaska,
Adventures by Disney vacations, and even for exchanges through
Interval International. The flexibility of Disney Vacation Club is truly unmatched and we have found it has paid for itself soon after purchasing, yet our vacations continue much longer than that.
Additionally, Janelle, purchasing through Disney Vacation Club will afford you
eligibility to Member Extras and benefits, including discounts on tickets, tours, events, and experiences, exclusive access to events like Members-only cruises and Moonlight Magic events, and Member Lounges, and so much more. Janelle, with Disney Vacation Club Membership, who knows how far you'll go?
To figure out the practically perfect in every way Vacation Points that most suit your family, I recommend starting with the
Disney Vacation Club Points Cost Calculator. This will help give you an idea of how many Vacation Points that will get you the most out of your family vacations. Then, when you are ready, visit the Disney Vacation Club Sales Team page and give a jingle to one of the Sales Cast Members. They can walk you through the process and help get you set up.
Janelle, I hope this helps you and inspires you to become one of our Disney Vacation Club neighbors. It has truly been a gift of affordable family vacations year after year, and I hope you can share in the magic of this wonderful program. If you have any further questions, stop back and see me and I'll be glad to help!
Have fun discovering new horizons to pursue!
