DVC is short for Disney Vacation Club. This is Disney’s version of a time share. However, DVC has the flexibility of a point system. With their point system you can book the time of year you travel and type of accommodation. You can even stay at different resorts.

With this style of timeshare you are NEVER stuck in a particular week every year. You purchase an allotment of points that you can then choose to spend however you would like. This could be several vacations or bank and borrow your points for one big vacation!

Annual Dues

What are Annual Dues? Annual Dues are a yearly fee that is part of your DVC Membership. These are applied to a variety of things.

When going on a Disney Vacation Club tour, your Guide will share that they are similar to a homeowner’s association fee. They will go towards things like Resort’s operating costs, refurbishment expenses, real estate taxes, and administrative expenses.

Each resort has a different price per point for their annual dues. This is due to their operating budget. You can find where your Annual Dues go by looking at your Annual Dues Statement.

Right now, you can view your 2023 Annual Dues statement online, and a paper copy should have been mailed to you. The date to make your payment in full is due on January 15th. When paying in full you can use a Disney Gift Card, which may benefit you if you got them at a discounted price!

Another option for payment is enrolling in Autopay. You have two choices with Autopay. Members can do a yearly payment with a credit card or a monthly payment with a US bank account. You must register for this by January 15, 2023 to take advantage.
