Hey there, Nicole! Welcome back to planDisney - it's always a great day when I get to chat with a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member. I'm happy to help with your question to set you up for a magical stay at
Walt Disney World Resort in 2026. Let's get to it!
One of the many benefits of a DVC membership is the ability to use your
Vacation Points for a wide variety of Disney destinations, not just the DVC properties! You most certainly can put your points toward a well-deserved vacation at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - both the
French Quarter and
Riverside are fantastic places to stay. The Port Orleans resorts are part of the
Disney Collection, and all of these hotels may be booked with points. You can find the 2026 Points Charts
here under the "Moderate" section and see how many points you'll need to make your vacation dreams a reality.
When you're ready to make a reservation, simply reach out to
Member Services, who will handle the transaction for you. There is a one-time transaction fee (currently $95, subject to change) that will apply when you exchange your points for a Disney Collection stay. If you choose to add the
Membership Magic Beyond package for 2026, this fee is waived! There are also some other great benefits of this add-on, so I definitely recommend taking a look before making any plans.
Nicole, I hope that you will be enjoying some bayou vibes at the Port Orleans in the not-too-distant future! Thanks for coming to see us again at planDisney, and please stop by again anytime.
Stay Magical!
Susan
