Disney has become a household name and beloved vacation destination around the world. Mickey bars and mouse ears are part of treasured memories for so many. Disney Vacation Club is the key to the magic for lots of families who love to visit Disney destinations every year. And it’s such an exciting time when you land the perfect resale DVC contract and your offer is accepted! Members who purchase resale vs. direct often save thousands of dollars on their contracts. After closing you’re close to booking your trip with your points, but first, you’ll need to get set up with your Membership portal and your DVC Member Number. How long after you buy resale can you expect to have your DVC member number? Let’s take a look at the resale timeline and discuss how it all works.
How long after buying resale DVC to get Member number?
For a full look at the timeline of the Disney Vacation Club resale process and how long each step takes, I recommend taking a peek at our post how long does it take to buy DVC resale. This can help build some realistic expectations and help you plan. The timeline in the article linked here also shares important information like what you will need for each step of the process and points out when your Expert may be the most helpful in providing insight. Tip: Fill in all of your paperwork carefully to avoid delays. We want you to be on your way to magic carpet rides as fast as possible and attention to detail makes it happen.
For starters, if you are currently a Disney Vacation Club Member and adding on points, your new contract will appear in your Membership Portal within seven to ten business days after closing. Note that if you add on points with the same Use Year, you will not receive another Member number. Having the same Use Year, when possible, makes for a smooth addition and easy banking, borrowing and transferring.
If you’re joining Disney Vacation Club through resale, new Members get their Disney Vacation Club ID and activation code about four to five weeks after closing. This will also give you access to your digital Disney Vacation Club Membership Card which is accessed in the My Disney Experience App. About six to seven weeks total from the time you go under contract is an accurate time frame to expect to get into your new account and start booking.
