Hey there, Erica - welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you found us. It's always a perfect time to explore all the ways you can use your
Disney Vacation Club Membership, whether it's for a trip to
Walt Disney World Resort,
Disneyland Resort...or beyond! Like the Genie, you ain't never had a friend like me, and I'll be happy to help strategize for a practically perfect family vacation.
In my book, the best aspect of DVC Membership is the ability to use your
Vacation Points in many different ways to suit your vacation needs as they change from year to year. Members aren't just limited to the Disney Vacation Club resorts - we can use points to stay at any
Disney Collection hotels in Florida, California, Paris, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, or sail with
Disney Cruise Line!
For travel to Colombia, there are two different options to make your vacation dreams come true. First up is an incredible excursion with
Adventures by Disney, which offers itineraries in Central and South America. Members may use Vacation Points for one of these immersive trips, which include cruises, shorter escapes, and longer land adventures - for an idea of how many points you'll need for one of these vacations, you can refer to the Points Charts
here.
Erica, you can also take advantage of a
vacation exchange with Interval International for your Colombian holiday. A quick glance at the Interval site showed many lodging options! Points are exchanged into the Interval system and can then be used to book a vacation of your choice. Keep in mind that this is a final transaction, so if you make a reservation with Interval and then cancel, the reservation points will remain with Interval and cannot be converted back to Vacation Points for a DVC stay. I advise calling
Member Services to assist with either option, as they can pull up the specific details of your Membership and answer any questions you have.
I hope this information is helpful, and that your family can enjoy the trip you're hoping for in 2025! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney, and come back anytime if we can help with other questions to add a little extra pixie dust to your vacation plans.
Stay Magical!
Susan
