Sell Your Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Timeshare

Selling DVC requires understanding Disney's ROFR policy and Riviera restrictions. Our 4-step process: 1) Free DVC Analysis — We review your Use Year, home resort, point amount, and deed expiration. 2) Strategic Pricing — Price based on recent ROFR activity at your resort. 3) ROFR Navigation — We submit to Disney's ROFR department and monitor status. If Disney exercises ROFR, we find a new buyer. 4) Licensed Closing — Handle Disney's transfer requirements and estoppel certificates. Typical timeframe: 60-90 days.

Right of First Refusal (ROFR) gives Disney the right to purchase your contract at the agreed sale price, blocking your buyer. This is actually protective for you—when Disney exercises ROFR, they become the buyer and you receive the same proceeds. Disney aggressively exercises ROFR at Saratoga Springs and Old Key West, less so at Grand Floridian and Polynesian due to higher prices. Riviera Resort has no ROFR because of its resale restrictions. We price strategically to minimize ROFR risk.

Riviera Resort (opened 2019) has unique resale restrictions. DVC contracts purchased after January 19, 2019 for the original 14 DVC resorts cannot exchange into Riviera. Conversely, resale Riviera buyers can only stay at Riviera—they cannot exchange into other DVC resorts. They still have Interval International exchange access. These restrictions significantly impact Riviera resale values and buyer pool. We educate all potential buyers about these limitations upfront.

DVC resale values vary significantly by home resort, point amount, and Use Year:

• Grand Floridian: $180-$240 per point (highest resale)
• Polynesian: $160-$220 per point
• Beach Club/BoardWalk: $140-$180 per point
• Animal Kingdom: $110-$140 per point
• Saratoga Springs: $100-$130 per point (high ROFR risk)
• Riviera: $90-$120 per point (resale restrictions)

Deed expiration (typically 2042-2067) also affects value—contracts expiring sooner sell for less. We provide a free, data-backed valuation specific to your resort and ownership.

Use Year determines when your DVC points become available each year (e.g., February, June, October). If your travel patterns have changed—for example, you used to visit in summer but now prefer fall—a mismatched Use Year makes ownership less convenient. Some buyers specifically seek certain Use Years. While it doesn't dramatically affect price, it can impact how quickly your contract sells. We note your Use Year in all marketing to attract the right buyers.

Disney does not have a direct buyback program for owners wanting to sell. Disney only purchases through ROFR during the resale process—meaning they step in when there's already a buyer at an agreed price. Selling on the resale market through a licensed broker is the only way to get cash in your pocket. Contact us for a free valuation and comparison of your options.
