DVC Resale Restrictions
When buying Disney Vacation Club memberships through the resale market, it's important to understand DVC resale restrictions. These limitations can affect your booking flexibility, resort access, and eligibility for certain benefits. At DVC Sales, we provide complete transparency about these restrictions, ensuring you understand what’s included with your resale contract — so there are no surprises.

What Are DVC Resale Restrictions?
DVC resale restrictions are limitations that apply to resale contracts. These restrictions are imposed by Disney and affect what resale buyers can do with their points and which resorts they can book. Some restrictions include:
Booking limitations: Certain contracts bought on the resale market may only allow bookings at certain resorts.
Access to Disney extras: Resale buyers are not eligible for some Member Extras that Disney offers to direct buyers, like special event tickets or discounts on merchandise.
Booking at certain resorts: For example, contracts purchased at the Riviera Resort may have limits on bookings at other resorts or may only be available for booking at the Riviera.

Why Resale Restrictions Exist
These restrictions exist because Disney wants to incentivize buyers to purchase directly from them, often with added perks and more booking flexibility. However, most resale buyers find that the overall savings outweigh these limitations, as they still get the core benefits of DVC ownership.

How to Navigate Resale Restrictions
The key to navigating these restrictions is choosing the right contract. Some resorts, like Old Key West and Saratoga Springs, offer more flexibility, while newer resorts like Riviera might have more restrictions. Our licensed agents at DVC Sales will help you understand these differences and find the best resale option for your needs.
