DIRECT PRICE V. RESALE PRICE
If Disney’s direct prices are out of your budget, you’ve come to the right place. We can help you become a DVC member for a fraction of the cost. Savings up to 65%!
Disney sets the rate for direct sales, whereas prices on the resale market can be negotiated with the seller and are usually substantially lower. You can purchase any DVC resort at a much lower rate. Look at the chart below to see how much you can save.

Many first-time buyers opt to purchase between 150-200 points, which allows them to stay at most resorts for a week or two each year in a Studio or 1 Bedroom Villa. To determine the cost of purchasing 200 points at different resorts, please refer to the chart below. Resale prices vary but this will give you a good estimate based on recent sales prices.

DIRECT V. RESALE: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
While there are some restrictions when buying resale, the drastic savings usually outweigh these. Another factor to consider are the minimum point requirements for new members. As seen in the first chart above, Disney usually requires new owners who purchase direct to make a purchase of at least 100 points, however, to gain the “blue card” member benefits you must purchase a minimum of 150 points. If you are a first-time buyer wanting less than 100 points, the best option, and sometimes the only option, is to buy resale.
Eleven of the 16 DVC resorts are “sold out,” meaning all the allocated points for that resort have been sold and you cannot readily purchase points for those resorts directly from Disney. Aulani, Copper Creek, Riviera, Grand Floridian and the New Disneyland Hotel Villas are the only resorts that are not completely sold out and are readily available to purchase direct from Disney. Disney can acquire inventory for sold out resorts through owner foreclosures and Right of First Refusals but they are sold first-come first-serve according to buyers on a waitlist. If you’re looking for a specific resort, you might have to wait for a while to find a suitable option. In that case, purchasing a resale may be a better option since you’ll have access to more options at a lower upfront cost.
We’d love to walk you through the process and help you find the perfect contract to fit your needs.
