How the Disney Vacation Club "Works for You"
|
 
How it works
The Disney Vacation Club Point SystemThe real estate interest is represented by "vacation points". A customer purchases a number of vacation points as a one-time purchase, becoming a "member" of the "club". Please see our active listings for prices and availability at all DVC properties. After the initial purchase members are charged annual dues based on the number of vacation points they own (see below). There are no additional annual charges. Vacation Club members can then use these points to make reservations at one of the Vacation Club resorts or any of the other options available. The number of points needed depends on the room type, resort, and time of year selected. Points can be saved, or "banked", for use the following year. Points can also be borrowed from the upcoming year, for use in the current year. Maximum use is 3 years worth of points at one time. If you need more you will either have to buy another contract or rent them from another owner. A member's "home resort" is the resort in which they have a real estate interest. The main advantage to owning a real estate interest in one resort over another is that members are allowed to make reservations at their home resort up to eleven months in advance. For the other resorts it is only seven months. Another very important fact relating to the home resort is that any exchanges for accommodations external to resorts are made to and from a member's home resort. Lastly, a member's home resort determines the amount of a member's annual dues.
