Home Resort Priority Period


Every year we're welcoming more and more Members, so there's always a lot of excitement when it comes to reserving vacations. Since all reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis, be sure to reserve as soon as you can!

  • When making reservations at your Home Resort, you have an 11-month booking window. This means you can make your reservations as far as 11 months in advance of your check-out date. The Home Resort Priority Period grants you exclusive access to book specific dates at your Home Resort 11–8 months before your check-out date.
  • When making reservations at all other Disney Vacation Club Resorts, you can book as far as 7 months before your check-out date.
  • When making reservations for Member Getaways, other guidelines apply. So please visit Member Getaways for complete details.
  • In order to make the best possible use of your Vacation Points, please be sure that all payments in connection with your ownership interest are current.
  • If you have special requirements during your stay—such as specific medical needs, wheelchair access, cribs, high chairs, etc.—please let us know when you make your reservations and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Please note
In order to take advantage of the Home Resort Priority Period, all Vacation Points being used to make that reservation must be associated with your Home Resort.

For example, say you wanted to make a reservation at Disney's Vero Beach Resort, which will use 100 Vacation Points. If you had 200 Vacation Points at Disney’s Old Key West Resort and 50 Vacation Points at Disney's Vero Beach Resort, you would not have enough "Vero Beach" Vacation Points to qualify for the Home Resort Priority Period. Of course, as a Disney Vacation Club Member, you do have options:

You could use your 200 "Old Key West" Vacation Points to book a vacation during the Home Resort Priority Period at Disney's Old Key West Resort OR You could "borrow" "Vero Beach" Vacation Points to secure your reservation during the Home Resort Priority Period for Disney's Vero Beach Resort

The more Vacation Points you have, the more flexibility you can enjoy.

You may book reservations at your Home Resort using your Home Resort Vacation Points during the 11-8 month Home Resort Priority period. If, at a later date, you wish to use Vacation Points from another Disney Vacation Club Resort, it will not be possible to "switch out" the Vacation Points. In order to preserve each Member's Home Resort Priority, it will be necessary to check availability and make a new reservation with the Vacation Points from the other Disney Vacation Club Resort.

For example, if you are a Member of both Disney's Old Key West Resort and Disney's Vero Beach Resort, and make a reservation at Disney's Old Key West Resort using the Disney's Old Key West Resort Home Resort Priority Period, it will not be possible to simply "switch out" the Vacation Points once you are inside the 7-month reservation window to use your Disney's Vero Beach Resort Vacation Points. Based on availability, you may choose to leave the original reservation intact or you may choose to cancel the original reservation and rebook with your Disney's Vero Beach Resort Vacation Points.
