Hiya, Robert!
Welcome back to planDisney. Thank you so much for stopping by with your question. It sounds like you are maximizing your Membership by considering using your Vacation Points for a stay through the Interval International Hotel Exchange. Our family has done this a few times, and it has enabled us to enjoy dazzling places we never knew, including California, Colorado, and Austria!
Robert, I am assuming you are asking about the Hotel Del Coronado in Coronado, California. I will answer your question about how to find Hotel Exchanges through Interval International. However, if you are actually inquiring about
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World Resort, you can write to me again, and I can give you directions for using your Disney Vacation Club Points to stay at this Disney Resort Collection Hotel, as it would be a different process.
To find Hotel Exchanges in Coronado, California, visit the Disney Vacation Club website and scroll to the "Destinations" tab and click on
Interval International. Scroll to where it says
"Hotel Exchange" and log into your account (if you haven't already.) This takes you to the Interval International Site. Then, follow these steps:
- Go to the tab on the right that says "Resort Directory."
- Where it says "Select Region," you want to select "USA-California."
- From here, you will select "California San Diego Area."
Now, I only see one Coronado hotel, which is the Coronado Beach Resort. So, it may be that you can't use your Vacation Points for an exchange to Hotel Del Coronado.
However, I would recommend calling
Member Services to inquire if Hotel Del Coronado is a hotel for which you can use your DVC Points for an exchange with Interval International. If it is not, then the Coronado Beach Resort would be an alternate option for you. Member Services would be able to assist you with converting your Vacation Points into Reservation Points and make the booking for you.
I hope this helps you, Robert! If you have any further Disney Vacation Club questions, stop back here to see us and we will be so happy to assist you.
Have fun making magical memories!
