As The Walt Disney Company celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Disney Vacation Club, it’s the perfect time to look back at the major changes in the program during its history. Originally only one participating hotel existed, and it claimed the dullest name imaginable, Disney’s Vacation Club Resort. Today, 13 Disney-built resorts participate in the program, not counting the hundreds of other hotels across the globe where DVC owners can exchange their points for RCI stays. As we celebrate 25 years of DVC, let’s take a moment to appreciate the five most important events in the history of the program.

It appears that articles about Disney Vacation Club foreclosures by the DVCNews and Sandra Pedicini from the Orlando Sentinel have spurred interest in the public auction process. Documents filed with the Orange County Comptroller show that more individuals are now participating in both the non-judicial Trustee public auctions and the judicial public auctions mandated by the Courts.
