NEW! DVC Availability Predictor
The availability dashboard allows the user to get an estimated probability of DVC room availability for up to 31 days. The information in the model is based on the historical availability of every DVC accommodation at every DVC resort over the last six years. The model only requires three inputs: resort (to specify the location), accommodation (to select the type of room), and date range (to indicate the preferred stay period).

If you're considering a DVC membership, it's crucial to have an impartial and reliable source to guide you. Don't make any hasty decisions without seeking expert advice.
It is the ultimate source of comprehensive information you need at your fingertips.
“This is an incredibly detailed and user-friendly guide to DVC. DVC can be a fantastic tool if you comprehend its functionality and know how to utilize it to your advantage. You can either devote weeks scouring the internet, reading through hundreds of threads on relevant forums, or purchase this guide instead.”
“This guide made the difference between understanding everything about DVC and making mistakes in purchasing due to lack of knowing all the correct questions to research. We bought it to look up a few things we weren't sure about but when we started reading it, we discovered information we hadn't ever considered. The guide is fabulous.”
The tables display the average number of consecutive days available for booking a specific accommodation for a week over the last six years. These numbers are the same availability indicators you see when booking a unit on the DVC website. The numbers are color-coded using the traditional red/green light format, with green indicating the most availability. If the number is seven, then all days are available. Any number below that represents some level of tightness in availability.
The data is collected at each of the intervals listed for a seven-day vacation starting on Sunday. For each time interval, a snapshot is taken immediately before the reservation window opens at 8 a.m. EST. If you book your home resort eleven months in advance, the number shown in the eleven-month field indicates the available days for your vacation. Each of the remaining columns provides a snapshot of the availability you might see as you get closer to your vacation day. The corresponding historical week number and the dates for 2023 and 2024 are listed.*
* Please note that some reservation booking patterns were distorted during the COVID-19 pandemic as DVC relaxed its cancellation policy. This temporary policy change affected the 5-month, 3-month, and 1-month bookings most. Therefore, the data collected for the following weeks was not used in the above availability tables: 5-months- August 16, 2020-August 29, 2021; 3-months-June 14, 2020-July 4, 2021; and 1-month- April 12, 2020-May 2, 2021.
