A Smart Glimpse on the Disney Vacation Club as an Alternative to Timeshare

As many owners have testified, buying a timeshare often involves a large upfront fee. In addition to that, the owner will have to pay the annual maintenance fee, property taxes, management fees or upgrade costs. Because of these fees which usually increase over time, many owners want to get out of their timeshares. On the other hand, those who vacation regularly find new alternatives and the latest of which is one in which someone can buy a membership to a resort.

A resort membership is typically a one-time investment by paying the membership fee only once and you can enjoy the benefits of the resort lifelong. With this, there are typically no annual maintenance fees or taxes. However, be warned that resort memberships can be pricey.

One of the most popular resorts these days is the Disney Vacation Club. But before buying a membership from this resort, you should understand how the program works to avoid misunderstandings and disappointments.

The Disney Vacation Club is a vacation ownership program where you are allowed to buy a designated number of points that you can trade in each year for vacation accommodations at your designated home resort. Meanwhile, points are the currency of the Disney Vacation Club. You must buy a minimum of 160 points and each year, you are awarded the initial number of points you bought with the program. These points can then be trade in for vacation time. Your home resort on the other hand, is the resort where you buy your membership.

As owning a timeshare is becoming too costly at these economic times, many owners are trying to get rid of their timeshares. Some of them even hire a timeshare transfer company such as the Transfer Smart just to get rid of such property. However, a great alternative for timesharing is the resort club membership and the Disney Vacation Club is one of the most popular of these resorts.
