Disney
Vacation Club
The Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is a very unique concept in vacation ownership
that allows for unprecedented flexibility. Disney is making vacation ownership a dream come true for many families by providing years of
fun-filled quality vacation experiences. Just as Walt Disney imagineered the amusement park concept into a theme park, Disney Vacation
Club improved on the foundation of earlier timeshare programs. Disney
Vacation Club offers unique flexibility in choosing among a vast array of
vacation experiences:
- Your length of stay is up to
you: stay for night, weekend, a week, or longer.
- You can choose when to go:
plan for a romantic winter getaway or a summer adventure with the
kids.
- Choose from a variety of luxurious accommodations, from deluxe Studios, to
1 and 2 Bedroom Vacation Homes, all the way up to 3 Bedroom Grand Villas.
- Never stuck with the same vacation experience; there is always something
new such as other resorts, member getaways, adventure travel and cruises
The Vacation Point System
When people become DVC Members, they purchase a real estate interest in the
club. This real estate interest entitles members to an annual allotment of
vacation points. The larger the real estate interest purchased, the more
points that are received each year. The current price is $140-165 per
vacation point with the minimum purchase being 100 vacation points.
Home Resort
Your "home resort" is the resort in which you have your real estate interest.
There are currently thirteen DVC resorts : Animal Kingdom Lodge
Villas, Bay Lake Tower, Beach Club Villas, Boardwalk Villas, The
Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Old Key West,
Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, Saratoga Springs, and the Villas at Wilderness
Lodge are all located at Walt Disney World Resort. Disney's Vero Beach
Resort is located on Florida's East Coast and Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort
is located in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Disney's Grand Californian
Villas is located at the Disneyland Resort in California, while Aulani
is located in Ko'Olina on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.
The main advantage to owning a real estate interest in one resort over
another is that you are allowed, as a member, to make reservations at your
home resort up to eleven months in advance of your stay. For resorts other
than your home resort, you are permitted to make reservations only seven
months in advance.
Another very important fact relating to the home resort is that any timeshare
swaps performed are made to and from your home resort. These "Member Getaways Resort Exchanges" are actually exchanges of accommodations at a DVC
Resort for an accommodations at a Member Getaways destination, based on availability.
