Paying Your Disney Vacation Club Deposit: What Buyers Need to Know
How to Pay the DVC Deposit is an essential part of securing your Disney Vacation Club (DVC) contract. Once you’ve signed the purchase agreement, you’ll need to submit your deposit to the title company to lock in your transaction. This deposit is typically 10% of the contract price, with a $1,000 minimum, and demonstrates your serious commitment to the purchase.
Where and How to Make the Deposit
After both parties sign the agreement, a link to the title company’s payment portal will appear on your dashboard. In most cases, you’ll also receive a secure payment link via email, making the process simple whether you prefer desktop or mobile. You can also access the payment option under the “My Agreement” section of your profile. For additional support, the DVC Sales team can answer any questions.
Accepted Payment Methods
Credit card payments are allowed up to a limit (usually $5,000–$10,000, depending on the title company). For larger amounts, you’ll need to use a wire transfer or certified check. If your deposit exceeds the credit card limit, contact the title company directly for specific instructions. More tips on secure transactions are available at Why DVC Sales.
Deposit Timing and Contract Protection
You must submit your DVC deposit within 24 hours of signing the agreement. Delays can slow down your submission to Disney for their Right of First Refusal (ROFR) or, in some cases, cause your agreement to expire. Prompt payment keeps your transaction moving forward without unnecessary holdups.
What Happens After Payment?
Once processed, you’ll receive a payment receipt from the title company, usually on the same day or the next business day. Your dashboard on DVC Sales will update in real time to confirm your deposit status. This transparency helps both buyers and sellers stay up-to-date with every step.

Deposit Refunds and Penalties
Your deposit is always applied toward the final purchase price. If Disney exercises its ROFR, your deposit is refunded in full. If the buyer cancels after the rescission period, penalties may apply based on the contract terms. For details, review your agreement or connect with the DVC Sales team.
