In a letter sent to members, Disney Vacation Club Senior Vice President Ken Potrock outlined a policy change for eligibility in Membership Extras.
Effective April 4 2016, members who do not purchase their ownership interest directly from Disney Vacation Club will not have access to Membership Extras, such as exclusive Member experiences and discounts.
Current members, regardless of where they purchase membership, will not be affected by the change.
The move is attributed to Disney seeking to offer a premium advantage for purchasing membership directly from Disney Vacation Club, rather than the growing number of DVC resellers.
Disney has been boosting Membership Extras this year as part of the DVC 25th Anniversary. The Magic Kingdom recently hosted an after hours event for DVC members, and a new member lounge will open this spring at Epcot.
