Disney Vacation Club, commonly referred to as DVC, is Disney’s timeshare program. Like most timeshares, it allows people to “own” a vacation resort and be able to book vacations there for many years in the future. Only these are on Disney property, and you become a member of Disney Vacation Club.
How long is Disney Vacation Club membership good for?
Every existing DVC contract will last until at least 2042. That’s 25 years from now! Others will last more than 20 years past that point. When you buy into DVC, you’re playing the long game. You know that your investment will pay off after five-to-seven years.
How much does DVC cost per month?
The Disney Vacation Club does provide financing at $365 per month for a 10-year loan with a 10% down payment. When guests use their points to reserve accommodations, the costs can vary depending on the time of the year, the resort chosen, and the size of the unit.
Is a DVC timeshare worth it?
Using points for cruises or regular hotel rooms just doesn’t give you as much “bang for your buck.” For that reason, DVC membership generally is not worth considering unless you plan to stay at a DVC resort at least every other year.

For example, if you own 100 points at Animal Kingdom and 100 points at Bay Lake Tower, your annual dues would be calculated as follows: 100 points x $8.24 = $824 for Animal Kingdom AND 100 points x $7.08 = $708 for Bay Lake Tower.
What happens when Disney Vacation Club expires?
What Happens When a DVC Contract Expires? Sometimes, like in the case of Old Key West, DVC will offer owners to extend their contracts. If DVC does not offer owners to extend, DVC simply takes back the units sold.
Do DVC members get free dining?

Conclusion.

How does Disney’s Vacation Club work?
The Disney Vacation Club is a unique approach to timeshare. Rather than purchasing a fixed week where you must travel within that week every year, DVC allows you to purchase points. You can then use those points however you want throughout the year.
