Disney Vacation Club Annual Passes

DVC Member Discount Tickets

As a DVC Member myself I am always trying to stay in touch with all the available discounts offered to members. A quick glance at the Member Discounts page through disneyvacationclub.com will show you that there is a lot of opportunity to save! And while some of the bigger savings that we look for are in the Annual Passes, are there any DVC Member Discount Tickets?

Over the years DVC Members have enjoyed discount tickets to Walt Disney World including special 5 and 7 day tickets that were deeply discounted. These were killer deals that could be shared with friends and family members.

As of right now for 2022 and 2023 there are no special ticket offers for DVC Members to Walt Disney World or the Disneyland Resort. I know it’s a bummer but not all is lost!

DVC Member discount tickets are still available for you to get but no membership is required. Park Savers offers discount tickets for anyone to purchase with significant savings. Tickets are available from 3 days and up and the savings can be up to $81 per ticket. Ticket options include Base, Park Hopper and Park Hopper Plus and Genie+ can be purchased with any of them!

I highly recommend taking advantage of these savings for any friends and family that you may be buying for.

Be sure to read through each section below to cover exactly what you’re looking for. There are many options for DVC Member Discount Tickets but it all depends on which resort you’re headed to. If you want to skip over some stuff because you know exactly what you’re looking for then use the table of contents above to skip to that section.

DVC Disney World Tickets

DVC Disney World Tickets

Most of us own a DVC property at Walt Disney World because it’s home to the biggest collection of DVC resorts. This means that the majority of us tend to use our points at Disney World and would really benefit from DVC Disney World Ticket discounts.

Many DVC members have Annual Passes to the resort but there are some who don’t and need to purchase tickets for their visit. As I mentioned above, Park Savers is the best place online to purchase discounted tickets to help you save when there are no offers directly from Disney Vacation Club.

Purchasing DVC Disney World Tickets is very simple and takes less than 5 minutes to complete. It’s as simple as:

  1. Selecting the number of days you’re going for, from 3 days up to 10.
  2. Selecting either One Park Per Day, Park Hopper or the Park Hopper Plus option.
  3. Selecting how many adults and children are in your group.
  4. Choosing your first day in the parks.
  5. Adding the tickets to your cart and checking out!

The average guest is savings $40 per ticket and for a family of 4 that’s some serious savings!

Now I realize you may have some questions about purchasing with Park Savers vs. Disney when it comes to DVC Disney World Tickets. Let me answer most of the FAQ’s.

  1. Do Park Savers tickets work just like Disney’s tickets? YES. Park Savers tickets come from Disney so they work exactly the same.
  2. Can I still make Genie+ reservations at the parks? YES. Park Savers send you your ticket confirmation code via email so that you can link them to the app.
  3. How do I receive my tickets after purchase? Park Savers offers 2 delivery methods, both of which are free. First you can have your actual tickets mailed to you. They are RFID enabled and allow you to go straight to the gate. The second option is will call pick up. This allows you to go to any of the 4 parks box office locations or guest relations and pick up your tickets.
  4. Do Park Savers Tickets link to MagicBands? YES. Once you link your tickets to your Disneyworld.com account you can assign tickets to your group and any associated MagicBands they have.
  5. Can I make changes to my own tickets? YES. Once linked to your Disneyworld.com account you can change your arrival dates, upgrade your tickets with options and additional days and even upgrade them to an Annual Pass.

You can see how easy it is to save on DVC Disney World Tickets with Park Savers and that you receive the exact same tickets as you would purchasing with Disney.

DVC Disneyland Tickets

DVC Disneyland Tickets

These may be the hardest tickets to come by. I haven’t seen a Disney Vacation Club promo on Disneyland Tickets for years though they do offer a $20 discount on Annual Passes (more on this below).

If you’re headed to Anaheim and need DVC Disneyland Tickets the best place to purchase them discounted is with Undercover Tourist.

I’ve been working with Undercover Tourist for several years and love offering their discounted tickets to DVC Members who are looking to save. Why? Because they offer a Best Price Guarantee on every ticket they sell!

Purchasing DVC Disney Tickets with them is also a quick 5 minutes or less when you follow these steps:

  1. Choose your ticket type and option. These include 1 Park Per Day or Park Hopper Tickets both with or without Genie+.
  2. Now choose how many days you want to visit for, 2-5 days.
  3. Now add however many adults and kids you have in your group.
  4. Add the tickets to your cart and check-out!

Undercover Tourist offers eTickets only which means that your tickets are emailed to you after purchase. eTickets allow you to go straight to the gate without having to stop at a Box Office and exchange. You can either show your tickets from your phone or print them out. Either way you’ll head right to the park entrance and have your tickets scanned.

These DVC Disneyland tickets can be purchased at anytime and by anyone involved with your group. You do not have to provide Membership ID.

Just because you’re saving on your tickets doesn’t mean you’re going to get any less of an experience. Your tickets will work exactly the same as if you bought them from Disney. This includes ticket linking, app usage and Genie+. That one of the things that I love about these tickets.

DVC Annual Passes

DVC Annual Passes

These are the staples for DVC Members as many of us make multiple trips each year to the theme parks and an Annual Pass just makes sense.

DVC Annual Passes are offered basically every year right through DVC Member services and can have some serious savings. I’ll go over each pass available by resort and then let you know which one is the best value.

DVC Disney World Annual Pass:

Out of the passes that are available only the Sorcerer Pass is available to DVC Members to purchase. Unfortunately the pass is sold out for the foreseeable future with no return date. This is due to Disney limiting the number of guests allowed in the parks with their Park Pass Reservation system. And because the system seems to be here to stay, passes like the Sorcerer my not become available for some time.

For the Disneyland Resort DVC Annual Passes there are no special passes available to DVC members only. You can purchase what’s available to the general public but with a discount:

DVC Disneyland Magic Key Passes

Dream Key

$1,399 – Sold Out

  • Reservation-based admission to one or both theme parks every day of the year.
  • Hold up to 6 theme park reservations at a time*
  • Up to 20% off select merchandise**

  • 10% off select dining**

As you can see there are no DVC Magic Key discounts. And most of the Magic Key’s at Disneyland are now sold out for the foreseeable future. With Disneyland’s Park Pass Reservation System in place there are a very limited amount of days available for Magic Key holders to utilize. Most reservations are given to ticket holders which is where I recommend you start.

You’ll have much better success at getting your park reservation by purchasing a regular ticket at a discounted price as mentioned above.

DVC Member Discount Tickets Warning

Like any theme park ticket be sure to purchase from reliable and well rated sources. Searching Craigslist and eBay is a bad idea. There are no such things are half priced tickets unless you are doing some sort of timeshare. If you really want to save big time on your Disneyland or Walt Disney World tickets then check out our tried and true method for free tickets.

Don’t meet someone in a McDonald’s parking lot to get cheap tickets or use a roadside stand. Too many people have lost their hard-earned money doing this and it’s really, really sad. Also, Disney won’t do anything about it because they were your actions, not theirs.

If you do have anyone in your family who is retired or active military there are tickets options for you and the prices are about half or more. I highly recommend these if you can pull it off.

Conclusion

DVC Member Discount Tickets

There are plenty of options for DVC Members to receive DVC Member discount tickets. First, always check disneyvacationclub.com for any promotions or discounts. These will always be a great way to save. If you can’t find them there for tickets only then check out Park Savers for Walt Disney World tickets and Undercover Tourist for Disneyland Tickets.

DVC Disneyland Passes are cheap and come with a Best Price Guarantee. They work perfectly if you have an Annual Pass but are bringing guests who may not have them. You’ll save a ton of money over gate pricing and receive them quickly via email after purchase.

DVC Disney World Tickets are also very cheap with savings up to $81 per ticket. Currently Disney Vacation Club doesn’t offer any ticket discounts for Walt Disney World so Park Savers is a great option.

DVC Annual Passes have all but gone away. Only the Sorcerer Pass at Walt Disney World is available for DVC members but it is currently sold out. Disneyland’s new Magic Key program does not offer DVC members any discounts. Members are better offer purchasing a discount ticket.

Lastly I just want to mention that most of these deals and offers are available without needing to show your DVC membership.
