Disney Vacation Club — "Welcome Home"

UPDATED November 22, 2025

When you think “Disney,” you probably think of a beautiful Castle in the middle of a world class theme park. If so, that’s certainly not a bad thing! (In fact, we hear you!) Many families make Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort their vacation destination year after year.

But did you know that the Disney Vacation Club offers Members the chance to enjoy Disney destinations far beyond the theme parks, including — and even beyond — Disney Cruise Line?

Whether you have one preferred Disney Destination like Walt Disney World Resort that is the perfect fit for your family, or you’d like to explore the whole world beyond the World, Disney Vacation Club — commonly referred to as DVC — offers members the opportunity to lock in their “future vacations at today’s purchase price.”

Many guests think of the DVC as Disney’s version of a timeshare. But uniquely, Members are not “locked in” to a particular Disney destination, Resort, style of accommodation, season of travel, or length of stay. Rather, Members utilize a Vacation Points system, offering more flexibility.

As they say to Disney Vacation Club Members around Walt Disney World Resort… “Welcome Home!”

Disney Vacation Club Membership

Disney Vacation Club Members receive a yearly allotment of Vacation Points based off of “the size of the real estate interest” of their “Home” Disney Vacation Club Resort. Members may then use their Vacation Points to book their vacations!

Disney’s Riviera Resort

In fact, Members are permitted to “bank” Vacation Points, which means you can bank any unused points from the current year towards next year’s vacation, or “borrow” from the coming year to put towards this year’s vacation.

Disney Vacation Club

A DVC Membership offers the following:*

As Disney shares, Members can “Vacation when, where and how often you want!”
Members stay at Disney Vacation Club accommodations in Disney destinations.
Members enjoy additional access to vacation destinations around the globe as part of the World Collection.
Members can take advantage of savings on things like theme park admission, special event tickets, Disney dining, and parks merchandise, as well as invitations to special Member-only events, such as Moonlight Magic!

Top of the World

But you should be warned. Top of the World was recently taken over by Disney Villains…

Top of the World Lounge

And it is now known as Top of the World: A Villains Lair!

Walt Disney World — Magic Kingdom

DVC Members can mosey on over to McKim’s Mile House in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland!

McKim’s Mile House

It’s named for Imagineer (and now Disney Legend) Sam McKim, who drew the famous Disneyland Souvenir maps, as well as lots of concept art for Frontierland. You can see some of Sam McKim’s art framed on the walls.

Some of Imagineer Sam McKim’s art is hung on the walls at McKim’s Mile House.

Inside, you’ll find plenty of air-conditioned seating, plus a Coke Freestyle machine and other beverages, WiFi, and plenty of places to rest and recharge — literally. There are outlets built into some of the tables here. The story of this lounge is that you’re traveling and stopping in at McKim’s roadhouse for a rest. They still live here (you can see their family quarters on the inaccessible second floor).

Guest names on the doors include:

B. T. Bullion (Barnabus T. Bullion) – a character from BTMR
M. Davis (Marc Davis) – Imagineer
Hoot – Hoot the Owl who was originally supposed to be an animatronic on the Western River Expedition attraction

Coke Freestyle and coffee machines at McKim’s

Access is available to DVC members with Membership Magic access. You can also visit as a guest of a DVC member. DVC members get up to 4 guests OR if you’re staying in a resort room, everyone on the reservation can come inside and sit a spell.
