Summary

Disney Vacation Club offers Disney fans the opportunity to unlock years of magical vacations at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani and beyond. This year, my family finally made the decision to become Disney Vacation Club Members, buying directly from Disney with our home resort set to the Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian. In this episode, we discuss the basics of Disney Vacation Club, including how it works, how much it costs, Membership Extras, the potential value your family could unlock with DVC membership, some rough financial analysis, add-on and resale options, the point system, and more. We also discuss our personal journeys becoming Disney Vacation Club Members. Special thanks to Brooke and Philander for taking the time to discuss this topic with me.
