Hi Cara,
Welcome home, and welcome back to planDisney!
Thank you for bringing your question over to us today. I really enjoy getting the opportunity to help fellow
Disney Vacation Club Members make the most of their membership!
It sounds like you are considering
adding more magic to your Disney Vacation Club membership. We found ourselves in the same boat and couldn’t resist
adding on! One of the things I love most about my membership is its flexibility and ability to adapt to so many different families’ vacation styles.
Choosing a home resort for your second contract is such a personal decision. For my family, as we travel from the UK for one longer trip each year, the 11-month booking window is something we rely on. It made sense for us to add more points at
Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, our home resort and favourite place to stay, perhaps one of our favourite places in the world! This ensures we can use all our points at the 11-month window and secure the rooms we love.
However, for members who visit more frequently or enjoy shorter trips, having points at a variety of home resorts can offer a different type of advantage. Being able to book at multiple resorts 11 months out gives you more variety when choosing where to stay.
Whatever you decide, rest assured that the
Disney Vacation Club Guides will make the process as seamless as possible, and they can match your new contract to your existing use year, making managing your points much, much simpler.
Cara, I hope this answers your question and has given you some clarity whilst thinking about adding on to your membership. If you have any further questions, please
reach out to me, I would love to help where I can.
Have a magical day!
Matt
