Hi Michael!
Welcome Home, and welcome back to planDisney! We have been
Disney Vacation Club Members for more than 12 years and staying Club Level at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas - Jambo House is definitely on my Disney bucket list!
Currently,
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas - Jambo House is the only Disney Vacation Club Resort that offers Club Level, although it has not reopened quite yet. If there were rooms available in this category, Members may use their available Vacation Points to upgrade to these rooms. Please know that
borrowing is still limited to 50% of next year’s Vacation Points.
Disney Vacation Club stays booked with Vacation Points cannot be upgraded to Club Level with cash at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas or any other
Disney Resort Collection Hotel. Many Members are unaware that the inventory of Disney Vacation Club Rooms and Disney Resort Collection Rooms are two different systems and groups of rooms. So availability in one group doesn’t translate to availability in the other.
If you were wanting to stay at a Disney Resort Collection Hotel other than Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas, on Club Level, you would need to book this stay using cash. You could always
bank your current Vacation Points one year into the future if you weren’t going to use them this year, and plan for a bigger or longer vacation next year! Maybe consider bringing family or friends, or book something exciting like a 3 Bedroom Grand Villa, bungalow, or cabin!
Please let me know if you have any additional questions about your Membership, Michael. I always enjoy helping my fellow Disney Vacation Club Members!
Wishing you
Membership Magic!- Kate
