Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is a vacation timeshare system and program owned and operated by Disney Vacation Development Inc. You have the option to buy directly from Disney or from a DVC Broker that is assisting an owner that is selling their ownership (DVC Resale).

It offers buyers a chance to own contracts in a specified resort with allocated points each year. These points are used to pay for hotel nights and can be banked to next year or borrowed from the upcoming year. These points can then be used to rent rooms at Disney World, Disneyland and a few resort locations outside of the major parks. Learn about buying your DVC contract here.

How Do Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Resales Work?

It’s first important to set the point size and location of what kind of contract you’re looking for. When you find a resale contract you’d like to purchase, putting in the offer to the broker will help you kickstart the process. It’s important to note that you have to buy the entire contract when opting for a resale rather than buying the points directly from Disney.

After agreeing on a purchase price, the contract then goes to Disney for the right of first refusal, where they can claim the contract for themselves, costing you nothing, but it does mean you have to repeat the process. From there, the titling and deed process will begin, which can take approximately 90 days to complete, Aulani can take longer. When properly processed, you will be made aware that you are now a member of the Disney Vacation Club and can use your allotted contract and its associated points as designed.
