Hiya, Jackie!
Welcome Home! Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your question. Jackie, don't you just love the flexibility of Disney Vacation Club Membership? Our family have been Members for over 22 years, and it has truly afforded us dream vacations year after year.
Jackie, while eligible Disney Vacation Club Members do receive many perks, such as
discounts on select tickets, tours, events, and experiences, we do not receive a discount for Disney theme park tickets. So to purchase your theme park tickets for the three or four days that you would like to enter the parks, you would simply visit the
Disney theme park ticket page, select the number of days, the ticket type (such as a one-park per day ticket or Park Hopper), the dates you plan to visit, and the number of tickets you are purchasing.
Standard date-based theme park tickets do require you to select a start date; however, there is a window for you to use the tickets and you do not have to use them on consecutive days. For example, if I put in my start date as March 17th for a three-day ticket, I have a five-day window - until March 21st - to use them. Once you purchase your tickets, you can connect with your other family members through the
Family & Friends link.Also, at present, date-based tickets
do not presently require Theme Park Reservations. If you are unsure if your ticket needs a reservation, you can try to make one on the
Theme Park Reservations page and it will let you know if it is not required.
Now, I do have some good news, Jackie. If you are an eligible Disney Vacation Club Member, meaning you are eligible for
Membership Extras, you may be able to receive a discount on Disney Water Park tickets, on select dates. If you are eligible, and when you log in to purchase the
Disney Water Park tickets, you will see a DVC Member price. And that would be how to purchase those tickets.
You can see the complete list of current Member Benefits and discounts for eligible DVC Members
here. It is a great way to save money to maximize the magic of your vacation.
I hope this helps you, Jackie! If you have any further Disney Vacation Club questions, soar back here to see me and I'll be so happy to help you.
Magically Yours,
Keri
