Disney is giving certain guests another chance to save big on theme park tickets in 2027, with a returning program that could make expensive vacations a little more affordable.
The company has confirmed that qualifying guests can access discounted admission at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort for an additional $99 fee.
Depending on how many tickets a family purchases, the savings could reach hundreds of dollars, with several other vacation perks included.
However, the offer comes with eligibility requirements and strict ticket restrictions. Here's what Disney has announced for next year.
Disney Renews $99 Program With Nine Benefits
Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is bringing back Membership Magic Beyond in 2027, offering eligible owners additional benefits beyond their standard membership perks.
The optional program costs $99 annually, with enrollment beginning January 1, 2027. Benefits remain available through December 31, and Disney doesn't reduce the fee for members who enroll later.
However, not every Disney guest can participate.
Generally, owners must have at least 150 Vacation Points purchased directly from Disney to qualify for Membership Extras. Some longtime owners remain eligible under earlier rules.
The $99 enrollment fee also doesn't cover the cost of becoming a Disney Vacation Club owner.
Disney World Ticket Deal Could Save Families $600
One of the biggest advantages involves discounted Walt Disney World admission.
Beginning January 7, 2027, enrolled members can purchase specially priced five-day weekday tickets that save $150 per person compared with standard admission featuring the same options and start date.
The tickets include the Water Park and Sports Option, allowing guests to visit one theme park each day, Monday through Friday.
Guests also receive five visits to eligible recreational activities, including water parks and miniature golf. Those additional visits can take place on weekends when permitted.
Eligible ticket start dates run from January 11 through December 16, 2027.
Members can purchase admission for themselves and up to seven additional guests in their traveling party.
For a family of four, the discount could total $600. After subtracting the $99 enrollment fee, potential savings reach $501.
Guests who want additional flexibility can upgrade to the Park Hopper Plus Option for another charge.
Disneyland Visitors Can Purchase $350 Tickets
The savings extend to Disneyland Resort, where eligible members can purchase three-day weekday Park Hopper tickets for $350 each.
That works out to approximately $117 daily, with admission to Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure.
However, guests must follow park hopping rules and reservation requirements.
Tickets go on sale January 7, 2027, with eligible weekday visits beginning January 11.
Each ticket expires 13 days after its first use or December 31, 2027, whichever comes first.
Members can purchase up to eight tickets during the benefit season, but the enrolled member must use one and accompany guests using the others.
Disney doesn't allow refunds or combining these tickets with additional discounts.
Unlike the previous year's offer, the announced 2027 package doesn't specifically include Lightning Lane Multi Pass.
Disney Brings Back Memory Maker and Lounge Perks
Beyond discounted tickets, members can access several additional vacation benefits.
Disney is renewing its 30-day Memory Maker entitlement, allowing enrolled members to download eligible Disney PhotoPass photographs.
The benefit could represent up to $210 in value compared with purchasing Memory Maker separately.
Members can choose when to activate the entitlement, but it only lasts 30 days rather than the entire year.
Disney is also extending evening access to ImaginAtrium at EPCOT, including character encounters generally scheduled from 5:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.
Another perk provides priority access when waitlists develop at ImaginAtrium, Star View Station at Disneyland Park, and McKim's Mile House at Magic Kingdom.
Members can generally bring four guests or the number listed on their resort reservation, whichever is greater. Admission remains subject to capacity.
Four More Benefits Complete Disney's 2027 Offer
Disney is also offering several benefits unrelated to regular theme park admission.
Eligible members can purchase a Disney Sorcerer Pass using Vacation Points, requiring 75 points for a new pass or 65 points for renewal.
Members can also purchase up to 12 One-Time-Use Vacation Points and receive 12 complimentary points, subject to reservation restrictions.
Disney will waive the $95 transaction fee for qualifying Disney Collection bookings, including select Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, and National Geographic Expeditions experiences.
Finally, eligible stays at Aulani in Hawaii include one complimentary 8×10 photo print.
For qualifying DVC members, the combined benefits could make the $99 enrollment worthwhile, particularly when purchasing multiple discounted tickets. However, families should consider the restrictions before deciding whether the program fits their vacation plans.
