Eligible Disney Vacation Club members can take part in an upcoming meet-and-treat opportunity at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort to kick off the 4th of July at Disney World. You’ll be able to interact with favorite characters, enjoy a special treat, and take a spin on the dance floor at a red, white, and blue dance party! To be eligible, members must be staying at a Walt Disney World Resort at the time of the event. We’ve listed more details in the important information section below to help determine eligibility. This offering is listed as a Disney Vacation Club event that’s presented as part of Membership Magic.

However, the line may be closed before 1:00 PM, depending on the number of Members and guests waiting to be admitted.

You may remember a similar Valentine’s meet-and-treat was offered at Disney’s Contemporary earlier this year.

Final Thoughts

Overall, this sounds like a fun opportunity to get a special treat and meet a character. If you’re eligible, stop by the BoardWalk and check it out. If you’re at Epcot, you can easily walk out of the International Gateway and get to the Boardwalk in about 5-10 minutes, depending on how fast you can walk. You can also take the boat.

If you’re a DVC member who will be visiting later this summer, make sure you’re also aware of the return of Disney Vacation Club Welcome Home Weeks in 2026. That event runs from July 22nd through August 26th, and offers even more fun opportunities + a few discounts. We’re always exploring what’s new around Walt Disney World!
