Understand how DVC expiration dates impact value and long-term vacation planning before making a purchase.
Every Disney Vacation Club contract has a fixed expiration date. Unlike traditional real estate, DVC is a long-term leasehold, meaning your membership lasts for a specific number of years, depending on the resort. Whether you're buying directly from Disney or through resale, the expiration date remains the same, making it one of the most critical factors to evaluate when shopping for a contract.
Why Expiration Dates Matter
A contract expiring in 2042 is likely to cost less than one ending in 2068 or later. That doesn’t make it a poor choice; it all depends on your vacation goals, timeline, and budget. At DVC Sales, every listing includes the expiration date so that you can make informed comparisons.

What Happens at Expiration?
Once a contract expires, ownership ends. You no longer receive points, and the property may either leave the program or be restructured. Most resorts do not offer extensions, with Old Key West being a rare exception (extended once in 2007). Expiration is final and applies equally to resale and direct purchases.
How to Use Expiration Dates in Planning
Expiration dates can help you compare the total value of different contracts. The DVC Resale Value Calculator allows you to factor in expiration to estimate the annualized cost of ownership. This is especially helpful when comparing listings across resorts or between resale and direct pricing.
