Make your Disney Vacation Club experience seamless by understanding how to link your DVC resale contract to your existing Disney account. Get expert support from DVC Sales for a smooth transfer and unified membership management.
Why Account Linkage Matters for DVC Resale Buyers
When you buy a Disney Vacation Club resale contract from the secondary market, linking it to your existing Disney account allows you to manage all your points from one login. This means you can bank, borrow, and book points across contracts, maximizing your flexibility for magical vacations. At DVC Sales, we help buyers avoid account headaches, ensuring your resale contract merges with your Disney membership whenever possible.
How Disney Combines Contracts
Disney bases account linkage on two factors: names on the deed and the Use Year. If the deed for your new DVC resale contract exactly matches your current membership, including full legal names, spelling, punctuation, and the Use Year, Disney will merge the contracts under your existing Member ID. You’ll log in once to manage all points. For more on Use Year, visit the Disney FAQ on Use Year or use the Disney Vacation Club Checklist to get prepared before closing.
Small Differences Lead to Separate Accounts
Even a minor difference, like a missing middle initial, reversed name order, or omitted spouse, will cause Disney to assign a new Member ID. Even if the Use Year matches, you’ll have two separate accounts and logins. Managing two memberships means points cannot be automatically combined for booking, banking, or borrowing. For more details, check the Disney FAQ on the Resale Department.
Transferring Points Between Accounts
If you have two Member IDs, Disney allows a manual transfer of points between memberships, but only once per Use Year, and it must be requested. Manual transfers add friction and could limit your vacation booking flexibility. Learn more at the Disney FAQ on Points Transfer and consult with DVC Sales for support throughout the process.
How to Avoid Account Issues
To avoid complications, let your broker or title company know your preferences before closing. At DVC Sales, we work closely with you and the title company to ensure the new deed is titled correctly, matching Disney’s requirements for account linkage. You can also review up-to-date DVC resale listings to start the process right.
