Disney DVC Resale Restrictions
When purchasing Disney Vacation Club memberships on the resale market, it’s crucial to understand Disney DVC resale restrictions. These restrictions are imposed by Disney to differentiate between direct buyers and resale buyers. At DVC Sales, we help you navigate these limitations, ensuring you know exactly what you’re getting with your resale contract and how it might impact your long-term use of DVC points.
What Are Disney DVC Resale Restrictions?
Disney DVC resale restrictions are limitations that apply to resale contracts. These can affect:
• Booking flexibility: Resale buyers may have limits on booking at certain resorts or making advanced reservations.
• Access to Disney perks: Some direct perks — like special event access or discounts on dining and merchandise — are not available to resale buyers.
• Resort availability: Certain resorts, like Riviera, may only allow resale buyers to book at that specific resort. These restrictions exist because Disney wants to encourage buyers to purchase directly from them.
How Do Resale Restrictions Impact Your Ownership?
While resale restrictions limit access to some benefits, the core features of Disney Vacation Club ownership remain intact. Resale buyers still enjoy:
• The ability to book stays at your Home Resort 11 months in advance
• Flexible point usage for booking vacations, banking, and borrowing
• Full access to many Disney resorts, including EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and more
For most buyers, the cost savings of purchasing resale far outweigh the few restrictions.
Why Are These Restrictions in Place?
Disney’s goal is to encourage direct sales by offering exclusive benefits to those who purchase directly. However, the resale market gives buyers the chance to enjoy DVC ownership at a significantly lower cost, even if certain Member Extras are not included.
How to Find the Best Resale Contracts
The key is to understand the restrictions attached to the contract you're buying. For example, some newer resorts have stricter limitations, while older resorts may provide more flexibility. Our licensed agents at DVC Sales can help you choose the right contract based on your needs and travel preferences.
