While the primary reason for buying any timeshare is to actually use the vacation time, Disney Vacation Club owners have long benefitted from a healthy resale market. Continued demand for properties which are now more than 20 years old means that ownership can often be sold for rates which approach or exceed the original purchase. But how exactly how well have some owners made-out when selling their points?
In January 2015, Disney Vacation Development posted its best month for sales since July 2014.
