Hi Francine,
Welcome to planDisney! I’m so glad you brought your
Disney Vacation Club question here, it’s always great to help a fellow DVC Member. Planning a vacation to a Disney destination is exciting - I will admit I occasionally hop over to the DVC website and check availability - it’s nice to dream!
The Disney Vacation Club website is a valuable resource for planning every stage of your Disney vacation. Key areas frequently used by Members include the Dashboard,
Points Charts, and the Book a Vacation link. The Points Charts provide a detailed look at the number of
Vacation Points needed per night for different types of accommodations throughout the year. By traveling during lower seasons, you can make your Vacation Points go further. It’s also helpful to compare Points requirements across different resorts to find the best option for your stay.
To see your contracts and the number of Vacation Points you have available, hover over the “My DVC” tab and select “My Dashboard”. Here, you’ll see any contracts you own along with the current available Vacation Points as well as Points for the next three years. You will also see a section called “My Vacation Plans” below the Vacation Points. Any current reservations will show up here with the dates in blue and once clicked on, you’ll see all of the detailed information about the reservation. If you need to modify the Members of your travel party, this is where you can do that.
To search for availability, hover over the “Plan a Vacation” tab and the select “Book a Vacation”. From here, you will select your potential travel dates in addition to the type of accommodations and resort(s) you are interested in. Once you click submit, you’ll see the availability based on your search criteria and then let the dreaming begin!
One last section I highly recommend visiting before a Disney vacation is the
Member Benefits page. Eligible Disney Vacation Club Members receive discounts and savings on dining, merchandise, events and experiences and more! The list can change as new offers are available so I always like to check the page before a trip so I’m up to date on the newest savings.
I hope this helps with understanding how to navigate the DVC site a bit better. If you have any other questions, please visit us again at
planDisney. We are happy to assist!
