Derek & Marissa’s Spring Break Vacations
It’s spring break season—and Derek and Marissa kicked things off in true Disney style! Marissa took a relaxing trip to Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, while Derek enjoyed a much-needed staycation at the Polynesian Villas & Bungalows. The team shares highlights from their time away and offers a few tips for your own upcoming Disney escape.
One of the most exciting updates? Derek reveals an incredible 2025 promotion where you can enjoy a FREE day at a Disney Water Park on your check-in day—even if you’re renting DVC points! That’s right—whether you’re staying on points or renting them, be sure to take advantage of this splash-tastic perk during your next vacation.
Epic Universe Excitement & This Month’s Giveaway
The team also dives into all the buzz around Universal’s Epic Universe, set to open in 2025. With new lands, immersive experiences, and next-level attractions, it’s no surprise travelers are already making their plans.
That leads us to this month’s giveaway! We want to know: What are your travel plans for the next year? Are you heading to Epic Universe, staying at Disney, or doing a bit of both? Let us know for a chance to win!
This episode also introduces a very special guest—Gray, our new Social Media Manager and a newcomer to both Disney and DVC. Gray shares the heartwarming story of visiting Walt Disney World for the very first time at age 21, and what it was like seeing the parks with fresh, adult eyes.
From his first walk down Main Street, U.S.A. to catching a glimpse of Cinderella Castle, Gray’s story is a beautiful reminder that it’s never too late to experience the magic of Disney for the first time. Since joining the World of DVC team, he’s been diving headfirst into all things DVC—learning about resale, rentals, vacation planning, and helping bring the magic to life through content and community.
A Magical Proposal at Saratoga Springs
As if his first trip to Disney wasn’t magical enough, Gray also shares the incredibly sweet story of his engagement at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. Surrounded by the peaceful charm of the resort, he proposed to his now-fiancée—adding another unforgettable memory to his Disney journey.
For Gray, Disney is no longer just a vacation destination—it’s a place of milestones, joy, and lifelong memories. And now, as part of the World of DVC family, he gets to share that magic with others every day.
DVC Q&A: Gray’s Fresh Take on Disney Vacation Club
To wrap up the episode, the team puts Gray in the hot seat with a fun DVC Q&A! He shares what surprised him most about Disney Vacation Club—from the flexibility of the points system to how welcoming and passionate the DVC community is.
What really stood out to Gray was how personalized the DVC experience can be. From choosing your home resort to customizing each trip. He also loved learning about the value DVC offers, especially when compared to traditional Disney hotel stays. For someone new to the DVC world, it’s clear that Gray is quickly becoming a true believer in the magic of membership.
