Hi Sarah, welcome to planDisney! I always love chatting with fellow
Disney Vacation Club Members, it's nice to meet another Canadian DVC Member!
First of all, welcome to the Disney Vacation Club. There is a lot of information to absorb when you first become a DVC Member so let's talk about how to see availability at a Disney Vacation Club Resort. First, log in to your account on the
DVC website. Next, hover over the "Plan Vacation" tab and then click "Book a Vacation". Enter the information that is specific to your trip (number of Guests, check-in and check-out dates, desired room type), and then select all of the Resorts you would like to search. Click on the blue "Check Availability" button and you'll see all of the resort availability that fulfills your search terms.
If there is no availability for your chosen Resort and dates, you can create up to two waitlists. I have had waitlists come through before, you might be lucky too! You can also check for availability at DVC Resorts by connecting with
Member Services where a Cast Member will be happy to help you.
You will have the best chance of finding availability 11 months before your arrival date when booking at your
Home Resort. Resort reservations open online on the
DVC website at 8 am EST or by phoning
Member Services at 9 am EST. If you are looking to book at another Resort, your booking window opens 7 months before your arrival date.
I hope this information is helpful, Sarah. Please visit
planDisney again if you have any other Disney Vacation Club or vacation planning questions!
Welcome Home,
Candace
