Membership Magic Beyond 2027: More Perks, Same Price

Membership Magic Beyond, Disney Vacation Club’s paid add-on perks program, is returning for 2027 with expanded benefits and no increase in price, according to reports published Tuesday, November 10, 2026. It would be the program’s third year, and the reports say at least one of the 2027 additions came from a guest survey Disney circulated earlier in 2026 asking owners what they wanted added.

As of Tuesday, November 10, 2026, Disney has not confirmed the 2027 renewal, the price, or the specific perks being added or improved.

The program’s signature benefit today is access to the DVC ImaginAtrium – A Member Lounge at EPCOT, located in the former upstairs ImageWorks space above Journey Into Imagination. Enrolled members get in every night of the week, including during extended evening hours.

The lounge also hosts a Mickey and Minnie meet and greet available nightly to eligible members from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, with costumes worn only for this program. Reports describe a four-look rotation across 2026: an après-ski winter set, cruise-inspired spring outfits, a “cottagecore” summer look, and U.S. National Parks hiking gear for fall, with the winter costumes back in rotation after Halloween.

One detail worth weighing before you pay for anything: the lounge is reportedly rarely busy, with visits where only a handful of parties — sometimes two guests total — were inside at once.

What we know

• Membership Magic Beyond — reported returning for 2027, a third year, with no price increase
• DVC ImaginAtrium – A Member Lounge (EPCOT, above Journey Into Imagination) — nightly access for enrolled members, including extended evening hours
• Mickey and Minnie meet and greet (ImaginAtrium) — nightly, 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, program-exclusive costumes
• 2026 costume rotation — four looks; the winter après-ski set returned after Halloween
• One 2027 addition — reported to come from a 2026 guest survey of members

What’s not confirmed

Disney has not announced the 2027 perks list, the enrollment date, or the price, and the reports do not name which survey proposal is being added. The program is a paid upcharge limited to Disney Vacation Club owners, so nothing here is purchasable by a regular ticketed guest.

What it means for your trip

• If you are an enrolled owner with an EPCOT day between now and March 2027, put the lounge in the 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM window — earlier sunsets make the evening visit the version of this perk worth building a park day around, and it doubles as the character meet.
• Owners weighing enrollment in the new year should decide on usage, not cost. Flat pricing means the math is simply how many EPCOT evenings you will realistically have.
• Do not book a long table-service dinner against that 5:30 to 8:30 PM window. Push the reservation earlier or take it after 8:30 PM so the lounge is not the thing you skip.
• If you want a late EPCOT dinner that night, a SupaPark dining Drop Watch catches a cancellation the moment it frees up so you can grab it in My Disney Experience.
