The Disney Vacation Club (DVC) isn’t just about staying in beautiful villas and deluxe resorts. Members also unlock hundreds of exclusive discounts and experiences that can add up to serious savings. In fact, there are 315 perks currently available to DVC members, and a few of them could save you thousands of dollars over time.

Here are five of the most valuable DVC perks that go far beyond hotel rooms and park tickets, and why they might make you rethink how you plan your next Disney vacation.

1. Save on Disney Weddings and Vow Renewals

If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “I do” in front of Cinderella Castle or celebrating a vow renewal surrounded by Disney magic, this perk alone could save you thousands. Disney Vacation Club members can save 15% on standard food menus and nonalcoholic beverages when booking a wedding or vow renewal reception at Walt Disney World Resort. On top of that, DVC members receive 10% off Disney-provided photography, floral, and select entertainment, which can really add up when you’re planning a large celebration. Disney weddings are already known for their fairy-tale details and flawless service, and this perk helps bring that dream a little closer to reality (and within budget).

2. Boarding at Best Friends Pet Hotel

Bringing your furry family member along for your Disney trip? Disney Vacation Club members can save 10% on boarding at Best Friends Pet Hotel, located right near Walt Disney World. This full-service pet resort offers everything from cozy kennels to luxury suites, plus play groups, grooming, and even bedtime stories for your pet! For families who hate leaving their pets behind, this discount makes it easier (and cheaper) to keep your best friend nearby while you enjoy the parks. It’s one of those little-known DVC perks that adds convenience and peace of mind to your vacation.

3. Keys to the Kingdom Tour

If you love Disney history, storytelling, and behind-the-scenes secrets, the Keys to the Kingdom Tour in Magic Kingdom is a must-do. DVC members can save 15% on this five-hour guided experience, which takes you through hidden areas of the park, including the famous Utilidors underneath Main Street, U.S.A. This tour gives Disney fans an entirely new appreciation for the park. And since the tour’s price can be around $169-$189 per person, that 15% discount makes a real difference for families or groups booking together.

4. Golf Courses

Disney Vacation Club members receive 15% off rounds at Walt Disney World’s golf courses, including the Palm, Magnolia, and Lake Buena Vista courses. These beautiful, PGA-caliber courses are open to guests of all skill levels and offer some of the most scenic golf experiences in Central Florida. If golf is part of your Disney vacation tradition, that discount can easily save you hundreds over multiple rounds.

5. Merchandise at Disney World

And of course, what’s a Disney trip without a little shopping? DVC members can save 20% on select merchandise at Disney World, and this is one of the most popular and widely used perks. Whether you’re grabbing matching spirit jerseys, holiday ornaments, or park snacks to take home, those savings add up fast. Between resort gift shops, Disney Springs stores, and in-park shopping, this discount can really pay off.
