Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is introducing a new optional enhancement for its members called the Membership Magic Beyond program.
Launching on December 3, 2024, eligible members can opt into the package for $99, which will unlock exclusive perks and benefits that can be used from January 12 through December 31, 2025. This new offering aims to provide additional ways for DVC members to maximize their stays across Disney destinations, although the program remains entirely optional.
One of the key highlights of Membership Magic Beyond is access to specially-priced theme park tickets. Members and up to seven family members in their household can purchase 5-day weekday Walt Disney World tickets, which include one water park visit, as well as 3-day weekday Disneyland Resort tickets that come with Lightning Lane Multi Pass access. Full pricing details for these tickets are expected to be released closer to the program's start.
Another benefit includes a 30-day Memory Maker entitlement at Walt Disney World, allowing members to capture and share photos and videos of their vacation—an offering valued at $210 if purchased separately. For members who enjoy spending time at the DVC lounges, the program also introduces exclusive meet-and-greet experiences with Disney characters at the ImaginAtrium Member Lounge at EPCOT. Members with a valid Resort reservation booked using DVC points can bring along guests to these exclusive experiences, subject to availability.
Additional lounge access perks include priority entry into the ImaginAtrium, the Star View Station at Disneyland, and a new Member lounge projected to open in Magic Kingdom in 2025. Members enrolled in the program will get priority on the waitlist when lounges become crowded.
Other perks include the ability to purchase the Disney Sorcerer Pass for access to Walt Disney World parks, along with the option to buy one bonus One-Time-Use Point for each One-Time-Use Point purchased, effectively doubling the points available for the year. Members can purchase up to 12 One-Time-Use Points per year with this benefit. Additionally, the standard $95 transaction fee is waived for booking stays at Disney Collection Resorts and other special experiences, including Adventures by Disney and Disney Cruise Line.
