Hi there, Ashley! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney. It sounds like you're considering joining the coolest club around--
Disney Vacation Club! I thoroughly enjoy chatting about all things DVC and it's my pleasure to help with your question today.
We've been DVC Members for nearly a decade and it was a great choice for our family! However, we took the time to do our homework and ensure we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision. I'm glad you're planning to do some in-person research on your upcoming trip to
Walt Disney World Resort so you can ask plenty of questions and get all of your (Donald) ducks in a row.
There are three primary sales centers where you can meet with a DVC Guide and tour a model studio or villa. At Walt Disney World, these are located at
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa,
Disney's Riviera Resort, and the Gateway to Discovery Welcome Center at
Disney Springs. Non-Members attending a 30-minute presentation may be eligible for a Disney Gift Card. In my experience, these presentations are low-pressure and you will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
Generally, you can also tour a studio or villa at most DVC locations, subject to availability. There is a DVC desk in the lobby at each resort and you can chat with the Cast Members there at any time, or
contact Disney Vacation Club before your arrival next week to set up a tour in advance.
Ashley, I hope this information is helpful! If you have other questions about the ins and outs of DVC Membership, please reach out directly anytime and I am happy to offer my perspective. Thanks again for visiting planDisney and I hope you have a wonderful vacation next week!
Stay Magical,
Susan
