DVC Membership

Discover the flexibility, value, and lifelong memories that come with DVC Membership, and learn how you can make the most of your Disney Vacation Club experience.

For families and Disney fans looking for flexibility and long-term savings, DVC Membership offers an extraordinary way to enjoy magical vacations year after year. Backed by more than 25 years of experience, our team at DVC Sales has helped thousands of buyers and sellers experience the benefits of Disney Vacation Club. Here’s everything you need to know about what makes DVC different, how the points system works, and tips for finding the best membership for your family.

What Makes DVC Different from Traditional Timeshare?

Since 1991, the Walt Disney Company has been selling memberships in the Disney Vacation Club. DVC offers a unique approach to timeshare ownership. Unlike traditional timeshare, DVC members can travel any time of year in various-sized accommodations. A Disney membership is based on purchasing an annual allotment of vacation points and using them as you choose every year.

Currently, members have access to 14 Disney Vacation Club Resorts, 10 of which are located at Walt Disney World, but other destinations include Hawaii, California, South Carolina, and Vero Beach, Florida. 

The Flexibility of Owning a DVC Membership

The flexibility of the Disney Vacation Club program is what members say they enjoy most about being part of the Club. The ability to not only stay at different resorts any time of year, but to choose from a variety of accommodations based on the number of people traveling that particular year.

Maybe you’d like to skip this year’s vacation so that you’ll have twice the number of points next year easily! Bank your points from this year into next year. What if you’re short 35 points for your trip and need to borrow from next year’s allotment of points? No problem!  Whether you are looking to buy DVC because you love the fun and excitement offered at Walt Disney World, or you prefer the quiet relaxation of Disney’s Aulani Resort and Spa in Oahu, Hawaii, or Disney’s Grand Californian Resort at Disneyland in California, the Disney Vacation Club has something for everyone.

If you’re like most DVC members, you’ll want to experience all 14 DVC Resorts. That’s the benefit of purchasing your membership on the DVC resale market- you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of membership for 20-50% less than buying directly from Disney. You’ll experience the highest quality of accommodations available, regardless of which Disney Vacation Club you choose.

Which Home Resort is Right for your Family?

When purchasing a DVC Membership, you will need to choose a Home Resort. Currently, there are 14 Disney Vacation Club Resorts, most of which are located in Orlando, Florida. Purchasing a resale contract means owning a percentage of real estate at the resort. The percentage is represented by several DVC points that you receive every year. So, where should you own YOUR real estate interest?

Our philosophy is to own the resort that you like most. If you own at Disney’s Bay Lake Tower Resort, for example, you would have Home Resort Priority at that location. This allows you to book up to 11 months before your intended travel time at that resort only. At 7 months before your travel date, you (and any other member) can book at any DVC Resort. This 4-month window is what we refer to as Home Resort Priority, and it can be essential.

Suppose your family enjoys traveling during some of the busier weeks of the year, such as Christmas, spring break, and other peak travel periods. In that case, the 4-month priority window may be significant. If you visit Orlando during Disney’s Food and Wine Festival or Flower and Garden, for example, and you like to walk to Epcot-- staying at either Disney’s Boardwalk Villas or Disney’s Beach Club Resort may be necessary. Those resorts are very much in demand during those times.
