Do Disney Vacation Club Members Get Extra Magic Hours?

By Robert Palmer

If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you may have heard about Extra Magic Hours. These are special designated times when certain parks open early or stay open late exclusively for Disney Resort guests.

But what about Disney Vacation Club members? Do they get access to Extra Magic Hours too?

What is the Disney Vacation Club?
First, let’s talk about what the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is. It’s a timeshare program that allows members to own a piece of a Disney Resort property and use their points to book stays at any DVC resort. Members can also use their points to book stays at non-DVC resorts and hotels around the world.

What are Extra Magic Hours?
Extra Magic Hours (EMH) are designated times when certain parks open early or stay open late exclusively for Disney Resort guests. This gives them extra time to enjoy select attractions with shorter wait times and less crowds.

Do DVC members get Extra Magic Hours?
The short answer is yes. DVC members are considered Disney Resort guests and therefore have access to all the same perks as other resort guests, including EMH.

However, it’s important to note that not all EMH benefits are available to DVC members. For example, the nightly EMH that rotate between parks throughout the week are not available to DVC members staying on points at a DVC resort. Additionally, some attractions may not be available during EMH.

To take advantage of EMH as a DVC member, simply present your valid resort ID or MagicBand at the entrance of the park during designated EMH hours.

Other Benefits for DVC Members
In addition to EMH, there are several other benefits for DVC members staying on points at a DVC resort. These include:

  • Access to exclusive lounges
  • Discounts on dining and merchandise
  • Special events and activities
  • Complimentary parking at Disney parks

In Conclusion

DVC members do have access to Extra Magic Hours at Disney World, but not all EMH benefits may be available to them. It’s important to check the schedule and restrictions before planning your park visits. Additionally, DVC members can take advantage of several other perks during their stay at a DVC resort.
