The process of buying into Disney Vacation Club involves purchasing a set number of Vacation Points which can then be redeemed each year for stays at 17 Disney resorts and other destinations around the world. The base price for five resorts currently being marketed by DVC ranges from $243 to $248 each. However, promotional discounts are typically offered which reduce the cost of each point. Incentives rise as the size of the purchase increases.
The chart below details current per-point promotional discounts for individuals buying into DVC first the first time.
