Whether your travel style has changed or you’re just ready to move on and sell your Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Membership, it’s important to understand how the DVC resale process works. Here’s a straightforward guide to help you navigate your options.
Technically, yes. Disney Vacation Club is a type of timeshare. You purchase a deeded interest in a Disney resort, and in return, you receive an annual allotment of vacation points. These points can be used flexibly across the DVC resort portfolio.
DVC is, however, different from traditional timeshares in a few key ways:
Yes, DVC Memberships are fully resaleable. In fact, there’s a thriving secondary market. But unlike other timeshare programs, Disney doesn’t handle the resale for you. You’ll need to find a licensed real estate broker who specializes in DVC contracts.
ROFR means that Disney has the option to step in and buy your Membership under the same terms as your resale contract. If they pass, the resale continues. If they exercise it, Disney becomes the buyer. This process helps Disney maintain pricing integrity on the resale market.
Mostly, yes — they can use the points just like you did. But there are a few restrictions for resale buyers:
Any banked, borrowed, or holding points transfer to the new owner. However, reservation points do not transfer and will expire.
As for any pending reservations, they must be completed before closing, or they will be canceled.
The loan balance must be paid off before the sale can be completed. You’re also responsible for staying current on dues and payments until the sale is closed.
Can I sell part of my contract? No, but if you own multiple separate contracts, you can sell them individually.
Do I need to attend closing? No. Closings are typically handled remotely.
How much can I sell it for? Prices vary, but DVC contracts average around $125 per point on the resale market.
How long does it take? ROFR alone can take up to 30 days. From start to finish, expect 60–90 days.
Selling your Disney Vacation Club Membership isn’t hard — it just takes the right info and a good broker. With strong demand and clear steps, exiting your contract is easier than with most traditional timeshares.
Need help? Reach out anytime.
Yes. While DVC contracts are deeded real estate, they can be legally and safely exited. We help owners understand their options, whether that means selling on the resale market or pursuing a transfer or surrender.
Potentially. If your membership has an outstanding loan, options may be limited, but you’re not stuck. We can review your situation and help you understand what steps are possible.
Yes — but only with a proper exit. Walking away without resolving your ownership can lead to foreclosure and credit damage. We help owners pursue legitimate and credit-safe exit strategies.
Unused points are typically transferred with the membership if sold or transferred. We’ll explain how your current points affect your options and resale value.
No. You’re not legally required to accept an unwanted timeshare, even a Disney one. We help heirs and estate executors understand their rights and options. Check out our blog on what happens when a timeshare owner dies.
Disney has a Right of First Refusal that can delay or prevent resales. Plus, restrictions on resale buyers can lower your pool of potential buyers.
