    Can I use DVC points as partial payment for an adventure with my wife?

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Gregory!

    You are as welcome as can be here at planDisney. Thank you so much for visiting us with your question. Gregory, I believe you are asking about using a combination of Disney Vacation Club Points and Cash to pay for an Adventures by Disney vacation. I will answer your question based on this, but if I am incorrect, please feel free to write me back, and I will get the answer you need.

    Yes, eligible Disney Vacation Club Members can use a combination of Vacation Points and Cash (you can use a credit card, but by "cash" they mean payment other than Points) to pay for an Adventures by Disney vacation (as well as a Disney Cruise Line vacation). The one thing to note, however, is that at least one person's entire reservation cost must be paid for using Vacation Points, and the other(s) in the traveling party can be paid for with Cash.  You just can't split one person's reservation fee with Points and Cash. We did this for our last Disney Cruise Line cruise. We used our Vacation Points to pay for my son, and then we paid for the rest of us with a combination of Cash and a Disney Gift Card.

    To do this, you would need to make the booking through Member Services. They will be able to assist you with converting your Disney Vacation Club Points into Reservation Points, applying those, and then they can take your payment for the remainder.  There is typically a non-refundable $95 fee (subject to change) for this transaction at the time of booking.  

    I hope this helps you, Gregory, and you enjoy the vacation of your dreams! If you have any further Disney Vacation Club questions, soar back here to see me and I'll be so happy to help you.

    Have fun making magical memories!
