What is Disney Vacation Club?

The Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is Disney's take on vacation ownership, offering flexibility, savings, and exclusive perks to loyal Disney fans. Instead of booking a hotel room for each trip, members use vacation points to stay at luxurious Disney resorts and partner properties worldwide.

Unlike traditional timeshares, Disney Vacation Club lets members customize their vacations based on timing, duration, and destination, making it one of the most flexible vacation ownership programs available today.

How Does Disney Vacation Club Work?

Joining DVC means purchasing a real estate interest at a specific Disney resort (your "home resort"). This purchase grants you an annual allotment of vacation points, which you can use to reserve stays at:

• Disney Vacation Club Resorts
• Disney Hotels
• Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii
• Disney Cruise Line
• Adventures by Disney trips
• Partner resorts worldwide

The number of points required for each stay depends on resort location, room type, and season. Members can bank unused points or borrow from the following year, adding flexibility when planning big vacations.

Should You Buy Disney Vacation Club?

If you vacation at Disney every 1:2 years and enjoy deluxe resorts, then the Disney Vacation Club membership could save you money in the long run. Members also pay annual dues, which cover maintenance and operational expenses, but these are typically lower than the cost of booking similar accommodations on your own.

For added savings, consider Disney Vacation Club resale options through DVC Sales, which allow you to enjoy many of the same benefits at a reduced price.
