When adding a new contract, DVC members will have the option to purchase the same home resort or purchase a new one. Unlike complexities around owning multiple Use Years, owning two or more home resorts will be more straightforward. Membership will be easier, but owning at two different resorts will also mean that both resorts' 11-month booking privileges will differ. This chapter discusses why people purchase a second contract at a home resort different from the original contract.

A DVC "Home Resort" selection is an essential first step in determining how to use your DVC membership. The designation of "Home Resort" is the location where your DVC timeshare is contractually located. The Home Resort determines the initial purchase price and the annual maintenance cost the owners must pay to get their yearly vacation points from Disney. It also determines the owner's home resort reservation priority.

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.
