While most guests rush from one festival booth to another at EPCOT during the holidays, a lucky few are relaxing in a quiet lounge—and getting the chance to meet Mickey and Minnie like never before.
Inside the ImaginAtrium, a DVC Member-exclusive lounge at EPCOT, Mickey and Minnie are hosting an incredibly rare holiday meet-and-greet. Instead of their usual Christmas sweaters or formalwear, the characters are bundled up in ski-inspired costumes, complete with snow boots, silver jackets, and alpine accessories.

This meet-and-greet isn’t open to the public. It’s part of Disney Vacation Club’s Membership Magic Beyond, an exclusive tier that adds limited-time perks for Members who opt in. Guests who qualify can access the experience nightly between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m.—with minimal wait and a truly calm, festive environment.
DVC Members enrolled in Magic Beyond can bring up to four guests (or the number on their resort reservation), which means families can enjoy the moment together without worrying about splitting up or getting in a long line.
What really sets this apart is the intimacy. It’s not a flashy event, but rather a simple, peaceful moment with two classic characters dressed in an outfit combo that won’t be seen anywhere else in the parks.
Becoming a Disney Vacation Club Member comes with its own commitment—starting at $23,500 for a 100-point ownership, plus closing costs and monthly dues. But there are real benefits over time. Members have access to deluxe resort stays at locked-in pricing, and Disney claims they can save up to 50% over the course of the membership.
For those who travel to Disney often or love being part of exclusive moments like this one, DVC can be more than just a savings tool—it’s a pass into the more personal side of Disney magic. And this holiday meet-and-greet proves just that.
