Linking a DVC resale purchase to your Disney account depends entirely on how the new contract is titled. Disney uses the legal names and Use Year listed on the deed to determine whether the contract should be merged with your existing membership or assigned to a new Member ID.
If the names on the new deed match your current membership exactly—including spelling, order, and punctuation—and the Use Year is also identical, then Disney will combine the contract under your existing Member ID. This means you’ll continue using the same login and will be able to manage all your points from a single account. You can bank, borrow, and book using points from both contracts as if they were one.
On the other hand, if there’s even a minor discrepancy—like a missing middle initial, reversed name order, or an omitted spouse—Disney will create a new Member ID. This triggers a completely separate login and account, even if the Use Year is the same. You’ll then be managing two accounts independently, with no automatic ability to combine points.
If this occurs, Disney allows a manual transfer of points between memberships—but only once per Use Year and only by request. This manual process adds friction and can affect how and when you book vacations.
To avoid complications, let us know your preferences before closing. We’ll coordinate with the title company to ensure that the deed is titled correctly, matching Disney’s requirements to keep your accounts unified.
