Hi James,
Welcome home, and welcome to planDisney!
Thank you for visiting us today with your question. I love getting the opportunity to help fellow
Disney Vacation Club Members make the most of their membership. My family has been enjoying the flexibility of Disney Vacation Club for several years now, and we love how it has added extra magic to our Disney vacations!
One of my favourite parts of Disney Vacation Club is the ability to use vacation points to stay at different deluxe villa resorts. As an owner, you have
home resort priority, allowing you to book reservations at your home resort 11 months in advance. At the 7-month mark, eligible members can use their vacation points to book any Disney Vacation Club resort with availability.
James, depending on the time of year, availability at different resorts can fluctuate, and
Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows is popular year-round. My family always takes advantage of our 11-month home resort priority to secure a reservation and then checks availability at the 7-month mark to see if we want to modify our booking for a different resort.
Did you know about the waitlist option? Once you enter the 7-month window, you can search for your preferred dates using the vacation planning tool on the Disney Vacation Club website. If your desired dates are unavailable, select "Continue to Waitlist." You can then choose an existing reservation to replace if and when the waitlist comes through. My family has had a lot of success using this feature!
I wish you all the luck in the (Disney) world that you secure your stay at the Polynesian! Keep in mind that the resort has recently expanded with the addition of
Island Tower, increasing inventory and offering a greater variety of room types.
If you have any further questions about your membership or need help with vacation planning, please
reach out to me, I'd love to help.
Have a magical day!
Matt
