Best Times to Book DVC Resorts
Timing your dvc rental: Generally the best time to book DVC is right now. If you see an opening, grab it, because in a few hours that opening may vanish.
Up to 50 percent of attempted rentals fail because a person waited to complete a request.
There are set number of DVC rooms in every class and resort. Resort availability shrinks by the hour as dvc members take up rooms. Waiting for dates to "open up" or "pop up" is
not a good plan when it comes to the Disney Vacation Club System. Do not delay -- book if you see something! That being said...there are a few sweet spots when trying to get
a rental.
Busiest periods: The hardest months to book are October, followed by November and December. Weekends (although more expensive) also
go before Sunday through Thur nights.
Lightest periods: DVC rentals are easiest to book in the months of Jan, Aug and September.
The eleven month barrier: DVC rooms are not available for booking beyond 11 months out; however, you can put in a request on our system sooner. We will hold such
requests until booking opens.
Magic seven month window: Every DVC owner has exclusive rights to only one resort from 7 to 11 months out. At the seven month point, every DVC property is open to every DVC owner
for booking. As such, that exact day is the point at which availability peaks and also where room classes sellout.
Although bookings do open up, there is a frantic scramble to get rooms at that mark. Availability will not last.
So what is the answer? We suggest applying for rentals a few days to a few
weeks ahead of the 7 month mark. Specific resorts also play a huge factor in your success. See the dvc rental availability odds
graph below to compare locations. Requesting a high availability resort will take stress off of your search.
