The Disney Vacation Club point system timeshare. DVC Resales available at http://www.resalesdvc.com/
The real estate interest is represented by "vacation points". A customer purchases a number of vacation points as a one-time purchase, becoming a "member" of the "club". The price as of March 5th, 2007 was $104 per vacation point with the minimum purchase being 160 vacation points. After the initial purchase members are charged annual dues based on the number of vacation points they own. In 2007, the dues ranged from $4.12 to $5.63 per vacation point. Members receive a yearly allotment of these vacation points. Vacation Club members can then use these points to make reservations at one of the Vacation Club resorts or any of the other options available. The number of points needed depends on the room type, resort, and time of year selected. Points can be saved, or "banked", for use the following year. Points can also be borrowed from the upcoming year, for use in the current year. Point charts available from the menu bar above.

A member's "home resort" is the resort in which they have a real estate interest. The main advantage to owning a real estate interest in one resort over another is that members are allowed to make reservations at their home resort up to eleven months in advance. For the other resorts it is only seven months. Another very important fact relating to the home resort is that any exchanges for accommodations external to resorts are made to and from a member's home resort. Lastly, a member's home resort determines the amount of a member's annual dues.
