Welcome Home, Bernard!
As a
Disney Vacation Club Member for over 12 years, the
Walt Disney World Annual Pass discount is one of my favorite perks! If we’ll be taking at least two trips within a single year, the Annual Pass is almost always a savings for us. I am all about making and capturing those memories, and with
Memory Maker included with my Annual Pass, I have access to all the PhotoPass photos we have taken on our trips.
If you’ve seen the Pixar movie, “Inside Out,” you may remember the idea that without sadness, we wouldn’t appreciate the joy in life. In that light, I have both good and bad news for you, Bernard. Currently, the sales of new Walt Disney World Annual Passes have been paused, and there has been no announcement as to when sales will resume. Guests who are current Passholders may renew, Passholders who have a child who has turned 3 may purchase a new Annual Pass for that child so that the child may join the family in the parks, and Guests who canceled their Annual Pass or had it expire during the shutdown may apply for a case-by-case review to see if they will be allowed to purchase a new Annual Pass. If you don’t fall into one of these categories, you will need to wait for sales to resume.
Once sales resume, changes are always possible, but in the past, Disney Vacation Club Members could purchase discounted Walt Disney World Annual Passes for themselves, and immediate family members living at the same residence, up to a maximum of 8 passes. So your minor children would be included, as well as any adult children, or other adults who live with you. All adults would need to show proof that they reside with the Member at Guest Services when the Annual Pass was activated.
I would stay tuned to the
Disney Parks Blog, as reopening announcements are published here first. Once sales resume, if you wished to purchase with your Disney Vacation Club Member discount, you would need to call Member Services for that transaction. I hope this helps with your planning, Bernard. If you have any additional questions about your Membership, send them our way! We love talking about DVC and are here to help!
Wishing you
Membership Magic!-Kate
