If you’re thinking you might be ready to sell DVC points, you’re in the right place. It’s ok to change your mind or move on from what used to be right for you but no longer is. When you want to sell DVC points, you can relax knowing an entire industry exists to help you. Even if you’re just curious about selling DVC points, there is information here that’s good for you to know as an owner. We give a look into a breakdown of how to sell Disney Vacation Club and some pros of selling Disney Vacation Club Membership with the help of a professional.
Breaking down the DVC Resale Process
There is not a Disney Vacation Club resale department. Disney will provide information you need to sell Disney Vacation Club but they will not do it for you or assist in the process. The company does share a brief overview of how to sell Disney Vacation Club online. From Disney Vacation Club’s website:
Here’s how the resale process works:
- You will need to find a buyer or list your Membership with a licensed real estate broker.
- Once a buyer has been identified, you will need to submit a fully executed contract for sale to Disney Vacation Club at wdw.dvc.dvd.resales@disney.com for review at least 30 days prior to the scheduled closing date.
- If Disney Vacation Club waives the right of first refusal, a closing will take place and all current Dues, fees and outstanding Loan payments will need to be paid in full at the time of closing.
- Disney Vacation Club Member Administration must be sent a copy of the recorded documents for processing, and the Membership records will be changed to reflect the new owners.
It’s also possible Disney might offer to buy back points from time to time. In these cases, per point prices do not compare to what contracts go for on the DVC resale market. A DVC resell transaction, compared to selling your contract back to Disney Vacation Club, can be much more profitable. There is also room to negotiate with buyers on the DVC resale market.
Right of First Refusal might happen when you sell DVC points
Disney does sometimes buy contracts back during the closing process of a DVC resale. This is instead of letting the sale go to the potential buyer. The price paid is the same as if the DVC resale buyer purchased. There is no telling when Disney will buy back in this way. We do cover what goes on with our Right of First Refusal buy backs as its called, or DVC ROFR for short, each month in a series.
Disney defines the Right of First Refusal this way:
“A right of first refusal (ROFR) allows Disney Vacation Club to become the buyer of your Membership on the same terms and conditions, including financing, as specified in your contract for sale.”
Can I sell my Disney Vacation Club contract myself?
Yes, you can sell your Disney Vacation Club contract yourself but you probably won’t want to. The Experts help owners and potential owners buy and sell DVC professionally. There’s a lot that goes into the process and you can feel confident knowing if you have a question pop up, you have someone to consult. Disney Vacation Club resale by owner takes much more work on the Member’s part, might take longer as you try to find a buyer and can be frustrating if you don’t know what step comes next.

Determining listing price: What are DVC points worth?
This answer depends totally on each individual contract. In mid 2023, the overall DVC resale average price is around $120. That includes low lows like per point prices at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort and high highs like those at The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel. Per point prices vary by resort. DVC resorts near Disney Parks have the highest per point prices. It’s also common for contracts with more points overall to sell for a little less per point and contracts with less points to sell for a little more per point. As DVC has gone up in price over time, so has DVC resale. An Expert can help you with pricing your contract to sell at a rate that feels good to you.
