Antarctic Cruises - Disney Vacation Club - Can You Buy a DVC Resale If You Take a Disney Vacation Club Tour?

It's totally up to you what you decide to do next, rest assured. You may be wondering if you can still buy DVC resale after taking the tour with the Disney folks, if that's the case. Maybe you took a timeshare tour with the Disney vacation Club. Did you go to Walt Disney World recently?

You would be assigned to someone else if that salesperson is no longer available, naturally. This is assuming that he or she is still working for Disney Vacation Club at the time, of course. You will work with that same guide to take care of the purchase, so if you do eventually decide to purchase Disney Vacation club points directly from Disney. You are permanently assigned to the DVC guide (Disney refers to their salespeople as "guides") that took you on the tour, once you go on a Disney DVC tour.

You will deal with Member Services to make reservations and plans for your vacations, once you become a DVC owner. So don't worry too much if they didn't become your best buddy, the sales process is really the only time you deal with this person though. I am sure that can be arranged as well, if you didn't hit it off with that DVC guide and would prefer to work with someone else, also.

There is some significant savings to be realized by purchasing DVC points from an owner who wants to sell, while working with Disney directly is very convenient. You are still able to go ahead and buy a DVC in the resale market, if you do decide that you would rather save some money on purchasing a Disney timeshare.

This is one way in which they hold their value. But keep in mind that Disney actively exercises Right of First Refusal (ROFR) when they feel that resale prices for their timeshare resorts are dropping too low, sometimes you may be able to save even more than that. But if you shop carefully you should still be able to save at least 20 to 25% by purchasing resale, disney Vacation Club holds up its resale value better than many timeshares.

Then it might be worth your while to wait, but if you won't be traveling within the next 11 months, one of the major advantages of purchasing directly from Disney is that you can book your DVC reservations before your purchase has even closed. This is especially true if you have no immediate plans to vacation at Disney World and can therefore take your time to find the best deal. It is often worth the gamble to submit a bid for a lower priced Disney timeshare and take a chance that it might pass ROFR, still.
