DVC’s “Welcome Home Weeks” Returns July 22, 2026
Welcome Home Weeks is returning to several Disney parks and Disney Vacation Club resorts in 2026. From July 22 to August 26, eligible DVC Members can enjoy complimentary snacks, discounts on dining and experiences, exclusive character meets, and more.
As always, DVC owners need to be eligible for Membership Extras to take part. If you’re unsure if that’s you, open your digital DVC card. If you see DVC Y (or DVC BY for Membership Magic Beyond people), you’re good to go!
Finally, you’ll have to show proof that you’re a member. Be prepared to show a photo ID and your membership card when checking in for any of these perks.
