    If I purchase the membership magic beyond after already having paid for one time use points for an upcoming trip can I I still receive the 12 bonus one-time use points into my current use year? Or did they have to be purchased toward that particular trip

    Hi Melissa!

    Welcome home!

    Thank you for trusting us with another question, this time about your Disney Vacation Club Membership. I love chatting with fellow Members and helping them get the most out of their membership. My family and I have been enjoying our membership for several years now, and it has completely changed how we vacation at Disney Destinations. We just wish we had joined sooner. It looks like your next Disney adventure is just over a week away, so let’s get straight into your question.

    Melissa, it sounds like you are considering joining Membership Magic Beyond. This program gives access to lots of extra perks. Some of my favourites include priority entry to Member Lounges at the Disney Parks and exclusive access to the ImaginAtrium Lounge in EPCOT after 6 p.m. There are also discounts on multiday park tickets and more. The Membership Magic Beyond program is currently $99, although prices are subject to change.

    Another benefit of the program is a free one-time use point for each one-time use point purchased. I checked with Member Services, and they confirmed that if you join Membership Magic Beyond after already purchasing one-time use points, you are not able to receive the bonus points retrospectively. I know that may not be the answer you were hoping for, but I hope it helps you decide whether joining the program is right for you.

    I hope you have a brilliant vacation, whether you're heading to The Most Magical Place on Earth or The Happiest Place on Earth. If you have any further questions about your membership or trip planning, please reach out to me. I'd love to help.

    See ya real soon!
