There are a lot of great perks that come with being a Disney Vacation Club Member. We’re talking hotel rooms, exclusive perks, great Disney deals, and more!

We know about some of the big perks, but what about the special low-key ones, like how Disney Vacation Club members can get access to exclusive character meet-and-greets?! There’s a new meet-and-greet in EPCOT, exclusive for DVC, and members are rushing to the park!
Disney Vacation Club perks are having a very busy 2026, and yes, there is fine print. There is always fine print. Disney fine print does not sleep. It merely waits under the bed with a tiny legal notepad.

But if you’re an eligible DVC Member, 2026 is bringing some legitimately interesting savings, upgraded access, and limited-time extras that could make your next Disney trip a little cheaper, a little easier, or at the very least, slightly more smug when you tell your group, “Don’t worry, I have a perk for that.”
Something big is coming for Disney Vacation Club members this summer!
Disney Vacation Club
“Welcome Home Weeks” is coming BACK for Disney Vacation Club members! From July 22nd through August 26th, 2026, the limited-time celebration is returning, featuring exclusive treats, special experiences, and enhanced discounts just for eligible Disney Vacation Club Members!
There are lots of perks to being a Disney Vacation Club member. Sometimes it’s a little difficult to understand the fine print, what it all really gets you, and if it’s worth it in the long run, but one of the perks people really enjoy is getting access to an Annual Pass they otherwise wouldn’t get.

Unfortunately, you don’t get a FREE Annual Pass with your very expensive DVC membership, but many members do appreciate the ability to buy the Sorcerer Pass, which is the second-highest tier on the passholder program and usually only available to Florida Residents. However, it’s important to note that Disney recently changed their wording to crack down on WHO exactly can get this pass as a DVC member.
Staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa — for many Disney fans — is the ULTIMATE must-do at least once during a Disney World vacation. If you’ve ever wondered what a stay is actually like, look no further — we’re spilling the tea.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
As one of Disney’s most luxurious hotels, the Grand Floridian can feel like an elusive bucket-list stay. Packed with Victorian-era theming and amenities and restaurants that are often considered world-class, this hotel can provide a Disney experience unlike anything else around the world. During one of our stays, we were able to enjoy the DVC resort studios (which boasts Mary Poppins theming), and there were some seriously impressive elements that have us itching to book another visit.
It’s the dream, isn’t it? A FREE Disney vacation with all expenses paid? Just think of all the fun things you could do!

Well, it’s not just a dream, at least for the winner of a brand new giveaway being hosted by Disney Vacation Club. That’s right, DVC is giving away a Disney World or Disneyland vacation (your choice) as well as a $150 Disney gift card. Keep reading to find out how you can enter to win!
While there are a ton of Disney World hotels to choose from, there are some you’re going to love more than others, and this one is mine! This resort keeps me coming back every year and let me show you why.
Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge doesn’t get nearly enough hype when Disney fans start ranking their favorite resorts. Between the incredible dining options, the easy access to Magic Kingdom, and the cozy, woodsy vibe — it truly stands out. It feels like you’re tucked away in a peaceful woodland retreat, yet you’re still right in the middle of the Disney magic. It’s home to my all-time favorite hotel room, and I’m taking you along for a full tour!
The Magic Kingdom’s latest exclusive Disney Vacation Club Lounge — McKim’s Mile House — is proving to be one of the most popular membership lounges added in years. In fact, the location’s operating hours have been expanded to 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM each day, two hours longer than its previous 6:00 PM closure time.

Located in the space that had long been occupied by the Frontierland Shooting Gallery, McKim’s offers a cozy spot for Members to recharge.
Since it’s founding in 1991, the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) has offered members a slew of perks associated with their ownership.

From extra time in the parks to discounts on dining and theme park experiences to exclusive merchandise and access to members-only lounges, these perks remain a major part of the DVC membership experience to this day.
