Explore the World Beyond Disney
Disney Vacation Club members have access to Interval International, one of the world's premier vacation exchange networks with over 3,200 resorts in more than 80 countries. Through this partnership, you can trade your DVC points for stays at luxury resorts worldwide, from tropical beach destinations to European capitals to mountain retreats.
Interval International operates differently from booking at DVC resorts. Instead of using your points directly, you deposit them with Interval International in exchange for vacation weeks at participating properties around the globe. This opens up a world of travel possibilities beyond the Disney umbrella, perfect for members looking to diversify their vacation experiences.
How the Exchange Process Works
To use Interval International, you first deposit your DVC points into the exchange system. Once deposited, you can search for available weeks at thousands of resorts worldwide. The number of points required depends on the unit size and season of the exchange you are requesting. All exchanges are subject to availability, and booking early typically yields the best selection of destinations and dates.
Members can book exchanges online through the DVC Member website or by calling Member Services directly. When you find an exchange that interests you, a service fee applies to complete the booking. Planning ahead and remaining flexible with your travel dates will help you secure the best exchange opportunities.
