Hi Nicola,
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for visiting us with your question today. I love chatting about
Disney Vacation Club with those thinking about joining the club, and it is extra special when they happen to be from the UK, too.
Nicola, I completely understand what you are saying, we British do not take a long-haul flight anywhere for less than a fortnight! Well great news, you are not limited to 7-night vacations with Disney Vacation Club. Members can book at their
home resort (this is where they have a contract) 11 months out. Members are able to book at all Disney Vacation Club resorts 7 months out, there are some restrictions at some resorts if ownership interest is not purchased directly from Disney.
When booking at the start of the 11 or 7-month window you can only book as far out as 7 days in advance. What we do as UK members that travel for at least 14 nights, is we login each day at 8 am Eastern Time and book another night. Once we have each night we need, we speak to a Cast Member on the online chat and ask for it to be combined into one reservation. Once we have the one reservation all sorted, we can then add the reservation to our
My Disney Experience App.
I understand this sounds very technical, but I assure you the Disney Vacation Club booking portal is so simple to use, and as you learn how to use your membership, we are right here at planDisney with any questions you may have. I have included a video with this answer where fellow panellists talk a bit about how Disney Vacation Club works.
I hope this has answered your question, Nicola, and you can rest assured you can book holidays for as long as you need, well, up to a maximum of 30 days in one reservation! I hope you enjoy the process of finding out all there is to know about Disney Vacation Club! If you have any further questions, please
reach out to me. I'd love to help!
Have a magical day,
Matt
