How much does the Disney Vacation Club cost? DVC costs at least $33,000 to join in your first year (though financing options are available). Then there are annual dues of at least $1,000 until your contract is up, which is typically decades from now. Plus, expect annual dues to increase each year.
There are a few categories of folks who may enjoy the benefits of DVC: Families that plan to visit a Disney property at least once every other year. With Disney's “bank” and “borrow” point system, members need to use their points at least every other year to get the maximum value out of them.
