Hi there, Sandy,
Welcome to planDisney! I love that you've asked a question about using
Disney Vacation Club Points towards a Hotel Exchange through Interval International, it's one of the many ways DVC Members can be flexible with their
Vacation Points.
Disney Vacation Club members have the option to convert their Vacation Points into Reservation Points, allowing them to stay at hotels around the world. It's a joy to dream about your next adventure, and the search feature on the
Interval International website makes exploring vacation possibilities even more enjoyable!
It sounds like you'd be choosing between the following types of Interval International Exchanges (dependent on how long you wish to travel):
- Interval ShortStay Exchange (1-6 nights in a Villa)
- Interval Vacation Exchanges (7 consecutive nights except for exchanges in Japan)
- Hotel exchange (1-28 nights)
To view the hotels where you can use your Disney Vacation Club Points in Rome, Italy, first you'll need to log in to your DVC account. Next, hover over the "Destinations" tab and select "Vacation Exchange" or "Hotel Exchange" (both will bring you to the same page). You can also get to the page by hovering over the "Plan Vacation " tab, selecting "Manage Interval International Vacations", and then clicking on the blue "Book with Interval Online" button followed by "Exchange" and finally "Hotel Exchange". You can enter the information about your desired trip including dates, and number of Guests and then submit to find accommodations that match up with the search criteria. I haven't yet completed an exchange with Interval International but after perusing the website and seeing the many hotels, my interest is piqued!
I hope this information is helpful to your vacation planning, Sandy. I recommend calling
Member Services and connecting with a Hotel Exchange Trained Specialist Advisor. They can answer any questions you have and they can even help make reservations. If you have any other DVC or planning questions, please visit us again at
planDisney. We would be happy to assist!
Enjoy making magical memories,
