DVC Points

Although the brand Disney Vacation Club (also known as DVC) is well known, how it functions as a vacation ownership program may remain a mystery for some. Commonly referred to as a timeshare program, some vacationers may steer clear due to the stereotypical high pressure sales tactics and perception of DVC timeshare ownership.

The reality of the DVC experience is completely different, especially when using the resale market to find DVC points for sale. The facts of the Disney Vacation Club program are in the article below, where you can read information to help you make a choice that's best suited for your family and your vacation needs.

Are DVC Points Timeshare?

Based on a simple points system, a DVC timeshare gives you the flexibility to enjoy a different vacation experience each year at any of the Disney Vacation Club properties. When you buy DVC points you are essentially purchasing a piece of Disney resort real estate. Your one time purchase will include applicable real estate closing costs and fees and you'll pay annual dues for the life of your membership, based on the DVC timeshare purchased. Dues function like homeowner association fees and are used for upkeep and advancement of the property.

Because DVC operates on a points system, when you buy DVC points you are purchasing an allotment of points that can be used annually, banked or borrowed from future allotments depending on your annual vacation needs. Points can be added to your contract and even split into separate contracts to pass on to your family members, if you so desire, turning your purchase into a lifetime of magical memories for your family.

The point requirements vary across the DVC timeshares as well as across the "travel seasons" and are laid out in a simple chart that's issued annually by Disney.

How Can I Find DVC Timeshares?

You can find DVC timeshares for sale through DVC direct or through a third party company such as Timeshare Broker Associates. Since DVC points are deeded to a specific resort, owners essentially own real estate with the freedom and flexibility to sell it at any time. This is why using a timeshare resale company is such a good option for people either looking to buy or sell DVC points, because of the ease, low costs and low prices compared to buying directly from DVC.

Many people will list their DVC timeshares for sale on a third party website for interested buyers to consider. Some buyers are existing members looking to add to their contract and others may be first time buyers looking for a deal. Regardless, there's something for everyone when it comes time to buy DVC timeshare.

Vacation With DVC Rentals

If you aren't ready to buy DVC timeshare, a rental is a great option. You can rent DVC points without the expense and responsibility of membership. Renting is a great way to try the Disney Vacation Club experience before you buy. Some owners find renting points is a way to subsidize their annual dues on their primary contract, others simply don't want to bank points and would rather benefit from renting out their DVC points then wait out the annual point process.

You can find DVC timeshares for sale year-round in many point increments and many prices. Owners who are selling DVC timeshare can help you determine how many points are ideal for your family's needs. Don't forget to consider the property and the season when making decisions on rentals or purchases, larger villas and high travel seasons will cost you more points.

Disney Vacation Club properties range in size from studio accommodations to 3-bedroom grand villas (which can sleep up to 12) so regardless of your travel needs, there's something for everyone, and it's all right inside the magic. Experience the Disney difference and give DVC a try.
