Disney theme parks frequently offer discounts or special amenities for certain groups of guests, such as annual passholders, visitors staying overnight at a Disney hotel, or Disney+ subscribers. We keep track of these offers to help you get the most value from your Disney experience. A monthlong slate of new discounts and offerings just launched for another group of guests: Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members.
New perks are now available for DVC members at both Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World in Florida, including exclusive character greetings and free food. We have the full list of benefits and which select dates each perk is offered. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including a new Disney sweepstakes with huge prizes and new Disneyland menu items.
