Is DVC a viable option for people who only stay at value resorts? The value resorts are the All-Star Resorts (Movies, Music, and Sports), Art of Animation, Pop Century, and Fort Wilderness Cabins. They are designed for the most frugal Disney World Vacationers. Guests who stay here can count on a clean room and a place to sleep and shower, but their time is generally spent at the parks.

A Disney timeshare is different from most timeshares because of its flexibility and ability to keep its value on an active resale market. Members who purchase DVC contracts get annual vacation points that can be turned into vacation stays at 15 DVC resorts. They can also use their points for Disney Resorts, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, or hotel accommodations worldwide through Interval International.

Is DVC a viable option for people who only stay at deluxe resorts? Guests who regularly stay at Deluxe resorts will usually find that DVC makes the most sense for them. In essence, you are already getting the amenities of staying in the best Disney resorts, so the decision to move to DVC may be strictly a financial one.

Is DVC a viable option for people who only stay at moderate resorts? The moderate resorts are Caribbean Beach, Coronado Springs, Port Orleans French Quarter, and Port Orleans Riverside. The accommodations at these resorts are more extensive and nicer than the value resorts. You may be surprised by the results.

The DVC resale transaction process is lengthy and can take up to three months from when you identify the property you want until the deed is in your hands. The flow is reasonably common for most resale contracts, and your resale agent most likely has done dozens of these transactions. Stuck in the middle of the timeline is the ability for Disney to come in and gobble up your contract through ROFR (right of first refusal). If this happens, then you start the process all over again.
