Hey Howdy Hey, Michael!
Welcome Home and welcome to planDisney! Oh boy! It looks like your magical Disney vacation is just around the riverbend. So, I'll get right to your answer so you can focus on packing your bags (remember to leave room for Disney souvenirs) and dreaming about your upcoming trip.
Michael, the best place to purchase
Disney Theme Park Tickets is direct from the Disney website. While eligible Disney Vacation Club Members (those eligible for Member Extras) can enjoy discounts on hundreds of
select tickets, tours, events, and experiences, including select merchandise and dining discounts, unfortunately, we do not receive discounts on Disney Theme Park Tickets or Park Hopper Tickets.
You can see a complete list of the currently available discounts for eligible Disney Vacation Club Members
here. Please keep in mind that discounts and Member Benefits and Extras are subject to change at any time.
Two of my favorite discount options are for the Disney Water Parks and for Special Event tickets (e.g. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party or Disney After Hours events) on select dates. If you are eligible for a DVC discount for these tickets, it will be connected to your My Disney Experience account. When you go to purchase the ticket when logged into your My Disney Experience account, the special DVC pricing will appear. Keep in mind that not every Special Event ticket date is eligible for a discount. So, if there isn't a DVC Member price shown to you when you log in to purchase these special event or Disney Water Park tickets, then unfortunately the discount isn't available to you on that date for that event.
Additionally, if you are eligible for Member Extras and benefits, your
Digital Member Card will have a designation on it. When you show your Membership Card, it lets dining and merchandise Cast Members know you are eligible to receive discounts on dining and merchandise when applicable. Not every restaurant or merchandise location offers a DVC discount but many do, so it is always a good idea to ask. If you have any questions about your eligibility for Member Extras, you can always give
Member Services a call and they can assist you.
I hope this helps you, Michael. If you have any further Disney vacation planning questions, soar back here to see me and I'll be so happy to help you.
Magically Yours,
Keri
