Disney Vacation Club points are distributed among eight different Use Years. In theory, one would expect that distribution to be fairly equitable. But is it?
A Disney Vacation Club Member's Use Year is determined at the time an ownership interest is purchased, and marks the time each year when a new allotment of points is received. The Disney Vacation Club designates eight different months as the start of a Use Year: February, March, April, June, August, September, October, or December. The months of January, May, July, and November are not used as the start of a Use Year.

The charts above show that Vacation Club points are not evenly distributed among the eight Use Years at any of the DVC resorts at Walt Disney World or Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort, the only resorts for which complete information is currently available. Based on records filed by Disney Vacation Development with the Orange County (FL) Comptroller, the December Use Year -- with 17.6% -- is the most common Use Year among the seven DVC resorts at Walt Disney World. The April Use Year -- with 8.0% -- has the least number of points . These percentages may change slightly as more Units are used and declared at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas, Bay Lake Tower, and Saratoga Springs Resort. However, the uneven distribution among the Use Years will probably continue even after each resort is sold out.
Records filed with the Beaufort County (SC) Register of Deeds show that Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort also has an uneven distribution of points by Use Year. February and April are the most common Use Years, while September and October are the least common Use Years.
