    My parents are original owners of several DVC contracts purchased directly from Disney. They would like to add me and my adult brother to the deeds. How will this affect DVC benefits? Will it be considered a secondary or resale contract?

    Welcome home, Mary!

    Thank you for visiting us over here at planDisney with another question, this time all about Disney Vacation Club Membership. It looks like your parents purchased an ownership interest in a few DVC resorts previously, which must have offered you and your brother countless magical memories at Disney Destinations! My family has been Members for several years now, and it really has been the best choice we could have made to guarantee we enjoy Disney vacations again and again!

    Additional purchasers can be added to a Disney Vacation Club Membership as long as they are over 18, and they will get their own Membership cards, eligible for the same level of benefits as the original owner. It is important to remember that Disney Vacation Club Membership is a deeded real estate interest, so your parents will need to seek legal advice from a licensed real estate attorney or title company in the state where the property is located.

    For full details about the process, I would ask your parents to make contact with Member Administration. They are available via email at members@disneyvacationclub.com. Be sure to include with your message your full name, Member Number, complete address, and phone number, as they appear on the Membership for security verification.

    I hope this answers your question today. It was quite a technical answer, I know, but I am sure the experts at Member Administration will be best placed to give further information! Good luck on becoming official Disney Vacation Club Members! If you have any further questions about Membership or vacation planning, please reach out to me. I’d love to help!

    See ya real soon!
