Hi Joshua,
Welcome home! And welcome to planDisney!
Thank you for stopping by with your question today. It is always great to chat with fellow
Disney Vacation Club Members about all the different ways we can make the most of our memberships. My family and I are currently counting down the days to our next DVC stay at
Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, and we cannot wait!
Disney Vacation Club Members do have the option of booking
cash reservations at DVC Resorts at a discounted rate. The way this works is that when a Member books something through an exchange, Disney rents out their villa for cash to cover the cost of that exchange. This helps balance out the cost of the Member’s new stay. The great news is that sometimes this creates what is called ‘cash availability’ at DVC Resorts, which allows Members to book at a reduced cash rate.
Joshua, it is worth noting that these cash rooms are always subject to availability. To check what is open and make a reservation, you will need to
call Member Services, where a Cast Member will be happy to help with your booking.
Also, have you seen that Disney Vacation Club has just released the
Moonlight Magic dates for the rest of this year and into 2026? I have linked all the details
here for you. We always try to line up our vacation dates with one of these exclusive events when possible. With rare character meet and greets, shorter attraction wait times, and complimentary Mickey ice creams, it is one of our favourite membership extras!
I hope this answers your question today, Joshua, and that you are able to make the reservation you hope for soon. If you have any further questions about your membership or vacation planning, please
reach out to me. I'd love to help!
See ya real soon!
Matt
