In this episode of The DVC Show, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about DVC Member Perks — from Moonlight Magic to lounges to discounts and beyond. If you’re curious whether the extras are really worth it (or just hype), this is your episode.
We’ll cover:
- What “Member Benefits” or “Membership Extras” really mean- How to qualify (direct vs. resale, 150‑point minimum, grandfathered contracts)
- Core advantage: booking flexibility with direct ownership
- Access to lounges, discounts, Annual Pass eligibility
- Member‑only events like Moonlight Magic, Meet & Treats, Welcome Home Weeks
- The ins and outs of Membership Magic Beyond (paid add‑on program)
- Some perks that look great on paper — but offer less value in practice
- Our take: when these extras tip the scale for or against buying direct
If you’ve ever wondered “Which DVC perks will I actually use?” — you’re going to want to stick around. Drop your questions in the comments (we’ll answer in future episodes).
