The Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is a very unique concept in vacation ownership that allows for unprecedented flexibility. Disney is making vacation ownership a dream come true for many families by providing years of fun-filled quality vacation experiences. Typically Disney, members get consistently high standards for comfort and hospitality. Just as Walt Disney imagineered the amusement park concept into a theme park, Disney Vacation Club improved on the foundation of earlier timeshare programs. Disney Vacation Club offers unique flexibility in choosing among a vast array of vacation experiences:

• Your length of stay is up to you; stay for night, weekend, a week or longer. 
• You can choose when to go; plan for a romantic winter getaway or a summer adventure with the kids. 
• Choose from a variety of luxurious accommodations, from deluxe Studios to 1 and 2 Bedroom Vacation Homes to 3 Bedroom Grand Villas.
• Never stuck with the same vacation experience; there is always something new such as other resorts, member getaways, adventure travel and cruises 

The Vacation Point System  
When people become DVC Members, they purchase a real estate interest in the club. This real estate interest entitles them to an annual allotment of vacation points. The larger the real estate interest purchased, the more points that are received each year. The current price is $101 per vacation point with the minimum purchase being 160 vacation points.

Home Resort 
Your "home resort" is the resort in which you have your real estate interest.  There are currently seven DVC resorts : Old Key West, the Boardwalk Villas, Beach Club Villas and the Villas at Wilderness & Animal Kingdom Lodge all located at Walt Disney World, along with Disney's Vero Beach Resort and Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort. The former Disney Institute site is the home of Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.

The main advantage to owning a real estate interest in one resort over another is that you are allowed, as a member, to make reservations at your home resort up to eleven months in advance of your stay. For resorts other than your home resort, you are permitted to make reservations only seven months in advance. 

Another very important fact relating to the home resort is that any timeshare swaps performed are made to and from your home resort. These "Member Getaways Resort Exchanges" are actually exchanges of accommodations at a DVC Resort for an accommodations at a Member Getaways destination, based on availability.
