Attention, Disney Vacation Club members! We’ve got a BIG new perk to share. Now, we should point out that this is one of those perks that isn’t free but instead is something you’re exclusively eligible for, thanks to your DVC membership. Got it? Good. Now, let’s talk about it!

Disney just dropped a full guide to its brand-new “Membership Magic Beyond option,” coming December 3rd, 2024. It will be available to use starting January 12th through December 31st, 2025. Let’s dive in!

The Membership Magic Beyond option is a paid “yearly enhanced benefits package,” giving you special ways to elevate your vacation. Eligible Disney Vacation Club Members can purchase this add-on option for $99 starting December 3rd, 2024, for usage from January 12th through December 31st, 2025.

So, what does this get you? We’re glad you asked. Disney broke the perks into three categories:

“Enhanced” Value

  • Available for the enrolled DVC member and up to seven family members living in their household.
  • More pricing details to come — stay tuned!

  • The enrolled Member must have a resort reservation and be staying on Points.
  • The enrolled Member can bring up to four guests or the number of guests on their resort stay reservation, whichever is greater.
  • Available seven days a week. Capacity restrictions may apply.
• Take advantage of priority access to:
  • Disney Vacation Club ImaginAtrium – A Member Lounge

More Flexibility

Note that to qualify for this new option, you must have an ownership interest with 150 Vacation Points or more purchased directly from Disney Vacation Development, Inc. Not everyone who is a member or in a household needs to purchase the Membership Magic Beyond option in order to use the benefits. That said, the ability to book, reserve, or purchase any benefit is limited to the enrolled member.

The Membership Magic Beyond option is nontransferable, nonrefundable, not redeemable for cash, and may not be resold, so be sure to think carefully before you purchase this add-on option. Disney notes that payment for the Membership Magic Beyond option cannot be split into monthly payments.

We’ll be sure to share more news about this perk, so stay tuned for updates!
