NEWS: Disney Vacation Club is CHANGING How Members Book International Travel

Did you know that Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members can use their points to travel internationally at non-Disney-owned resorts?

It’s true! Since 2008, the Disney Vacation Club has partnered with RCI to provide members with the opportunity to exchange points for stays at a variety of destinations across six continents and 25 countries. And, while members will still be able to participate in these international travels, there is an upcoming change that you’ll want to know about.

According to an email sent to DVC members, Disney will be ending their partnership with RCI on December 31st, 2021, and has named Interval International as the new third-party exchange provider beginning January 1st, 2022.

Through Interval International, members will have access to thousands of resorts across the globe including Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, Mexico, the Caribbean, and the United States. And, the “expanded portfolio” will include resorts owned by Marriott, Sheraton, Hyatt, Westin, and more.

Current DVC members can continue to book their nightly and weekly exchanges through RCI through December 31st, 2021, and any confirmed reservations or points that have been deposited to RCI will be valid through 2023.
