Hey Brian!
Welcome home!
Thank you for visiting us with another of your Disney planning questions, Brian. We are always happy to see Guests again! I love helping fellow Guests make the most of their Disney vacations and helping
Disney Vacation Club Members with their memberships! My family has been enjoying our membership for several years now, and we say this all the time: we wish we had joined so much sooner!
Let’s talk all about
Member benefits. Members eligible for Membership Extras are usually those who purchased their ownership interest directly from Disney. Now, I won’t be able to cover them all, because Brian, there are loads! But I’ll share a few of my favourites. Let’s start with exclusive events. Of all the benefits, my favourite has to be
Moonlight Magic. Since we only take one longer trip a year from the UK, we’ve been really lucky that each visit has lined up with a Moonlight Magic event. My favourite so far was the one held at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, which included exclusive character meet-and-greets, food tokens, and unlimited select frozen treats. Another great event was a Halloween-themed one at Disney’s BoardWalk area, with more exclusive meet-and-greets, including Duffy the bear!
There are also exclusive Member Lounges across Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World. You’ll find them in Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park, the ImaginAtrium at EPCOT, and the newest lounge to open is
McKim Mile House in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom Park. These lounges are great spots for Members to take a break, enjoy a complimentary drink, and charge devices.
In terms of discounts, when shopping at Disney-owned and operated locations at Disneyland Resort, you’ll receive 10% off, and at Walt Disney World, the discount is 20%. I have linked a list of all member benefits for you to check out
here. Keep in mind, Brian, that member benefits are all subject to change and removal at any time; they are just an extra on top of being able to access deluxe Disney Vacation Club Villas for the length of your ownership interest and create memories to last a lifetime - that's where the real magic is!
I hope this answers your question, Brian. If you have any more vacation planning questions or questions about Disney Vacation Club, please
reach out to me. I'd love to help!
See ya real soon!
