"Here's my conundrum, and it's one I bet a lot of you can relate to: I love going to Disney World, but my bank account does not. I'm a Disney mom on a budget. And, honestly, for as much money as we spend when we go to Disney, I wish I didn't have to work so hard for it - trying to figure out the best place to stay, getting the best deals, factoring in things like Lightning Lanes, the whole mental load rigamarole that tends to land on moms. So, recently, I decided to explore an insider hack that could potentially address both of my problems: booking through David's Vacation Club Rentals, or DVCR."
"You may have heard about "vacation club rentals" or "vacation club members" just from being at the parks and wondered what it was all about. Well, Disney Vacation Club is Disney's version of a timeshare program that allows members to buy "points" that can then be used to book stays at Disney's Deluxe resorts and other destinations. There's the initial buy-in, along with annual dues. But let's say you don't want to spend that big chunk of change to become an actual member. Here's where the hack comes into play, because David's Vacation Club Rentals lets non-members rent unused points from members. And what that ultimately means is that you get to stay in a Disney Deluxe resort at a hugely discounted rate."
""Families can typically save 40%-50% when booking through DVCR compared to booking directly with Disney Central Reservations for the same room type," DVCR CEO Melissa Mullett told me. "Even with the savings, you still enjoy all the same benefits: Extra Magic Hours, full resort amenities, and the same Disney access you'd receive if you book directly through Disney.""
David's Vacation Club Rentals (DVCR) enables non-members to rent unused Disney Vacation Club points from members to book Disney Deluxe resorts at reduced rates. The Disney Vacation Club functions as a timeshare where members purchase points, with an initial buy-in and annual dues. Renting points through DVCR typically saves 40–50% compared with booking the same room type directly with Disney while preserving benefits such as Extra Magic Hours and full resort amenities. The DVCR booking process involves checking dates and pricing with an online calculator, submitting a reservation form, and making a $105 refundable deposit.
