Disney has announced that the price to enter its parks for a single day will now vary by park & season, and added expiration dates to 1-day passes. These moves seem destined to impact infrequent / casual visitors more than recurring guests like Disney Vacation Club members. But perhaps there is some overlap with the DVC audience.
Back in October, Disney raised the price of the Tables in Wonderland discount card from $100 per year to $150. At that rate, guests must now spend $750 at eligible dining establishments just to break even.
Meanwhile the price of the Disney Dining Plan has ballooned to $61.84 per adult and $20.96 per child for 2016. That rate covers one table service meal, one quick service meal, one snack and a refillable beverage mug. The DDP must be purchased for all guest on the reservation and all nights of the stay. These increases have undoubtedly lead to some guests changing their approach to dining at Disney.
Disney Vacation Club has utilized a number of different logos on its materials and merchandise in recent years. Included are the three images below.
The thirteen unique Disney Vacation Club timeshare resorts offer a wide variety of themes, amenities and experiences to owners. However, some resorts may prove to be a better match than others for certain groups. For example, a party with small children may be drawn to a particular resort based upon access to theme parks, pools & other recreational facilities or type of restaurants located within.
Disney Cast Members are a big part of the "magic" in any resorts or theme park visit. Even a relatively small gesture can make all the difference during a particularly difficult moment, or whenever some special attention is needed.
