Good evening everyone,

DH and I are seriously considering buying a resale at either BCV or BWV. Is there anyplace I can find a list of benefits that we would be eligible for once we become members?

Thanks!!!
 
Here is MOST of the info from the DVC Member web site. I omitted the sections on spa services and "Behind the Scenes" tours largely because the discounts are pretty standard:

Tours: 15%
Spa: 10%

I'm not sure if it's mentioned below or not, but we also get 10% off of the Unlimited Park Hopper. That is the ONLY park ticket discount for DVC members. We also get a couple dollars off of the "gate" prices for the water parks and DQ.

Also bear in mind that these discounts are subject to change at any time. The discount program is NOT guaranteed to DVC members by contract, and they could eliminate it at any time with no member recourse.

Nothing wrong with seeing what's out there, but I wouldn't suggest making it a very large component of your purchasing decision.

Introduction

From time to time, we're able to provide special offers and discounts to our Members. Although these offers aren't part of your ownership interest purchase in a Disney Vacation Club Resort, we know that you like to receive them (everybody likes to save money!) and that they add to your Membership experience.

Discount programs are available at all Disney Vacation Club Resorts and include savings on dining, recreation, and other "mouse"ellaneous experiences. We hope these special offers make your next vacation even more magical than your last. Information about these special offers can be found in Vacation Magic, the Member Clubhouse newsletter (available when you register your email address), your Member Benefits Guidebook (found in the "Understanding Your Membership" section of this site), and the Perk Pages you receive at check-in at a Disney Vacation Club Resort. But, the most up-to-date, detailed listing is found right here on the Members Only web site.

To take advantage of these great discounts, you must present either your Disney Vacation Club Member card or your Walt Disney World® Resort ID card (with your "DVC Member" designation on it) at the location. When paying for purchases with your Disney's Visa® Card from Bank One, you must also present your Member Card at the time of purchase to receive any available Member perks.

We look forward to providing you with additional discounts throughout the year!
