Disney Vacation Club continues to offer its members and their guests more value with a delightful new perk. Starting in 2025, DVC members will enjoy free access to water parks on their check-in day. This article dives into the details of this exciting benefit and what it means for DVC members.
A Splash of Fun on Arrival
For reservations with check-in dates throughout the calendar year of 2025, DVC members can kickstart their vacation with a splash. The new perk allows members to access any of the Disney water parks for free on their check-in day. This means you can slide into the fun from the moment you arrive at your Disney resort. Whether it’s the tropical paradise of Typhoon Lagoon or the frosty fun of Blizzard Beach, there’s plenty of excitement waiting for you right on day one.
Enhancing the DVC Experience
This initiative is part of Disney’s ongoing commitment to enhance the DVC experience. By offering free water park access on check-in day, members get an extra day of enjoyment without any additional cost. It’s a fantastic way to start your vacation off on the right foot, and it adds even more value for DVC members or renters (renters are guests, after all).
Making the Most of Your First Day
Traditionally, the first day of a vacation is often lost to travel and settling into accommodations. With this new perk, DVC members can make the most of their first day. After checking in, they can head straight to the water parks for a day of aquatic adventure. It’s an excellent opportunity to unwind after a long journey and immediately immerse yourself in the Disney magic.
Important Details for DVC Members
While this new perk is exciting, there are a few things members should keep in mind. First, the free water park access is only available on the day of check-in, so plan your arrival accordingly. Additionally, this benefit is for all DVC members and their guests. This is regardless of whether or not the member qualifies for Membership Extras or has purchased their points on the resale market.
Important Information About This Benefit
- This benefit is exclusive to registered Members and Guests staying at a Disney Vacation Club Resort or Disney Resort hotel with a check-in date from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.
