Once you discover how it works, you can use it to your advantage to plan amazing trips! It may also be a challenge to decide how many points you need to purchase for how you like to vacation. Here are some examples of what you can get with 150 points based on the 2026 DVC point charts.
2026 Point Chart Edition: What Can You Get with 150 DVC Points?
Not only is the per point price of DVC different at each home resort, the number of points per night varies as well.
The number of DVC points you need on your stay depends on the following variables:
- The Disney Vacation Club resort you’re staying at
- The time of year you are staying
- The day of the week you are staying
- The type of room you are staying in
- The view from the room
We have some awesome Disney trips you can take with 150 points here below.
Almost all of these are in studio style rooms as these are the most commonly booked accommodations.
The priciest time periods of the year in 2026 are the busiest spring break week, March 29 to April 5, and Christmas week, December 24 to 31.
Many of the properties, including those at Walt Disney World Resort, have the same time periods on the point charts. Some properties in other destinations, like Disney’s Hilton Head Resort, have different dates that are popular based on the area they are located in. For example, at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort September 1 through November 24 requires the least points to visit. On the contrary, February 22 through April 11 requires the highest amount of points along with Christmas, probably due to high demand for beachside stays at this time.
Note: This is just a random selection of trips you could book. There are some additional stays this point value could book at some properties. These ways to use 150 DVC points in 2026 are just some samples.
What can you book with 150 DVC points?
It’s good to think about the home resort booking advantage and how that may help you with your selections. When deciding how many points to buy, or where to buy based on point charts, you’ll also want to think about being able to book earlier than others at your home resort. While some rooms might be much lower in points, there may not be as many of them. For example, the concierge option is exciting at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas but there will be less of them than other options.

DVC Point Chart FAQs
Do the DVC point charts change?
Yes, the DVC point charts change a bit each year. The real change that occurs is the date ranges, not so much the points needed for stays. You will not be priced out of your resort or required to purchase more points for comparable stays. Basically, dates that change each year, like spring break season and holidays, will shift peak times on the point chart.
Can I use my points at other DVC resorts?
Remember if you purchase at one of the original 14 DVC resorts you can use your points to stay at any of the other properties in that category. That means you can dream up different stays at varying properties over the years if you choose to.
How does banking and borrowing with 150 points look?
Above are options for those looking to come every year with a 150 point contract. Remember banking and borrowing are helpful with your trips as well. You may want to visit every other year, alternating visits with another favorite destination. In this case, you may not need as many points. It’s also an option to instead use 300 points every other year and expand your options. That amount lets you book a One Bedroom Villa or Two Bedroom Villa easily.
What happens if I don’t use all my DVC points?
It is possible for you to lose DVC points if you don’t use them or bank them by the banking deadline. The date you need to bank them by depends on your use year. With this 150 point value, you’ll see anywhere from a handful to half of your points still available after booking some of the stays mentioned above. With the rest of those points, you can plan ahead and use them early, book an additional trip or save them for the next year. It opens up options to stay in bigger accommodations or rooms with nicer views.
This is the full list of DVC use years and the banking deadlines for each.
| Use Year | DVC Banking Deadline |
| February | September 30 |
| March | October 31 |
| April | November 30 |
| June | January 31 |
| August | March 31 |
| September | April 30 |
| October | May 31 |
| December | July 31 |
How many DVC points do I need?
While 150 DVC points is a common value for Members, you may want to reach for 200 points depending on when you like to visit. This number will help you enjoy a week long stay in studio style accommodations at additional times throughout the year. It can take some planning to use every DVC point you own.
You will need many more points if you like to stay in the bigger DVC rooms. To further explore how to use your DVC points, you can always peruse the DVC point charts yourself. Considering specifics like when you like to visit and where you like to stay will help you plan.
What is banking and borrowing DVC points?
Borrowing points from the following year or banking points to use in the future is a way you can stretch your options.
