As Disney Vacation Club members gear up for their 2022 vacations, Walt Disney World promises a host of new attractions, resort enhancements, and dining experiences. These updates not only enhance the magic of Disney but also offer practical benefits for DVC members, such as improved access and planning flexibility. Let's explore what's new and how DVC members can make the most of these offerings.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

EPCOT introduces one of its most ambitious attractions, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This indoor roller coaster features a reverse launch and rotating ride vehicles that immerse guests in storytelling with Star-Lord and his crew. As a major thrill ride, it is set to be a centerpiece of EPCOT's expansion. Guests staying at nearby resorts such as the Beach Club Villas or BoardWalk Villas enjoy easy park access and extended early entry hours. For planning, members can use the official points charts to schedule EPCOT stays effectively.

The strategic location of these resorts allows DVC members to maximize their time in the park. The 11-month home resort booking advantage can be particularly beneficial for securing accommodations during peak seasons or special events. By planning ahead and utilizing these benefits, members can experience the latest attractions with ease.

New Rooms at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

The Polynesian Village Resort has unveiled reimagined Deluxe Studios with Moana-inspired décor and updated amenities. These enhancements add a modern touch to the resort's classic island hospitality, merging Disney storytelling with convenience. Staying at Polynesian Villas & Bungalows provides excellent access to Magic Kingdom via the monorail and direct boat transportation. The nearby Disney Skyliner now links select resorts to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, enhancing transportation convenience for DVC members.

For members, the Polynesian's updates mean more than just aesthetic improvements. The enhanced transportation options, including the monorail and Skyliner, offer seamless travel between parks, allowing for more spontaneous and flexible itineraries. This can be particularly advantageous for families looking to make the most of their park days without the stress of complex travel logistics.

Disney Enchantment Nighttime Spectacular

Magic Kingdom has debuted Disney Enchantment, a new fireworks show replacing the beloved "Happily Ever After." This spectacular features breathtaking fireworks, projection effects down Main Street, U.S.A., and an emotional Disney classics soundtrack. Guests at Bay Lake Tower or the Villas at Grand Floridian enjoy prime viewing spots from their resort balconies or nearby beaches. This dazzling performance showcases Disney's ability to reinvent its entertainment offerings while honoring traditions.

For DVC members, staying at these resorts offers the unique advantage of enjoying the show without the crowds. This can be a significant perk for those looking to experience the magic of Disney's nighttime entertainment in a more relaxed setting. Additionally, the proximity to Magic Kingdom allows for easy access to other park attractions before or after the show.

Expansion at EPCOT

EPCOT's multi-year transformation continues with the development of the Play! Pavilion, a family-friendly space filled with games and digital adventures. Upgrades to Spaceship Earth enhance its storytelling and design, ensuring it remains a must-see attraction. These updates, alongside Cosmic Rewind, make EPCOT an essential stop for DVC guests booking nearby accommodations. Use the DVC point calculator to plan stays at EPCOT-area resorts effectively.
