The Disney Vacation Club (DVC) market provides travelers with various methods to access Disney resorts, such as through resale contracts or point rentals. Utilizing services like David’s Vacation Club Rentals allows guests to stay at Deluxe Resorts, including Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, frequently at a lower cost than direct bookings.

Within the resale market, the Aulani resort is noted as a high-value option. While resale prices for marquee locations like the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa have increased, Aulani prices have remained relatively stable at approximately $93 per point, which is a significant discount compared to the direct retail price of roughly $243 per point.
