Explore the World Beyond Disney
Disney Vacation Club members have access to Interval International, one of the world's premier vacation exchange networks with over 3,200 resorts in more than 80 countries. Through this exclusive partnership, you can trade your DVC points for stays at luxury resorts worldwide — from tropical beach destinations and European capitals to mountain retreats and bustling city centers. It is one of the most valuable perks of DVC membership, giving you the freedom to vacation virtually anywhere in the world.
Interval International operates differently from booking at DVC resorts. Instead of using your points directly at a Disney property, you deposit them with Interval International in exchange for vacation weeks at participating properties around the globe. This opens up a world of travel possibilities beyond the Disney umbrella, perfect for members looking to diversify their vacation experiences or explore new destinations they have always wanted to visit.
How the Exchange Process Works
To use Interval International, you first deposit your DVC points into the exchange system through your Disney Vacation Club Member website. Once deposited, you gain access to search for available weeks at thousands of resorts worldwide. The number of points required depends on the unit size and season of the exchange you are requesting. Studios require fewer points than larger units, and low-season weeks cost less than peak travel periods.
Members can browse and book exchanges online through the DVC Member website or by calling Member Services directly at (800) 800-9800. When you find an exchange that interests you, a service fee applies to complete the booking. Planning ahead and remaining flexible with your travel dates will significantly improve your chances of securing the best exchange opportunities at the most sought-after destinations.
Who Can Use Interval International?
All DVC members who purchased directly from Disney have full access to Interval International exchanges. However, members who purchased their DVC membership on the resale market after January 19, 2019 may have limited or no access to the Interval International exchange program. This is one of the resale restrictions Disney implemented, making it an important consideration for anyone buying DVC resale. If you are unsure whether your membership includes Interval International access, contact Disney Vacation Club Member Services for clarification on your specific contract.

The fee covers the administrative costs of processing your exchange request and is non-refundable once the exchange is confirmed.
Important Information for Exchanges
Booking Window
Exchanges can be requested up to 24 months in advance. Depositing your points early increases your chances of securing popular destinations during peak travel seasons. The earlier you plan, the more options you will have available.

All exchanges are subject to availability at participating Interval International resorts. Popular destinations and holiday periods book quickly, so flexibility with dates and destinations will significantly improve your options.
