What is Disney Vacation Club (DVC)?
Many of you have asked me what the heck is Disney Vacation Club, and why are you a member? I won’t try to sell anyone on DVC, because that is not the point. I will try to give you the basics of it, and tell you why we became members. To put it in layman’s terms, DVC is Disney’s version of a timeshare. The difference is that with a traditional timeshare you are limited to when and where you can vacation. Many people might have a choice of a week here or there but in general, they are tied to a specific time and place. DVC learned from those timeshares and tried to offer a different option. Basically with DVC you are pre-paying for your future vacations. You are buying “points” to use for future vacations each year. You pay a certain amount of money each month for anywhere from 1-10 years- based on your loan. After you have paid off the loan, you then only have to pay annual dues each year. The present contracts run until 2057. Each DVC resort has a point chart, which places point values
