Resorts debut new category name

First they were called "Home Away From Home" resorts, then "Disney Vacation Club Resorts", and now they'll be called "Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts" -- at least for those non-DVC members who book via CRO.

Resorts debut new category name

Beginning on Aug. 16, Guests shopping for Walt Disney World® accommodations will discover a "new" category of resorts.

In an effort to alleviate confusion about the availability of Disney Vacation Club accommodations as nightly rentals, and to better describe these resorts' amenities, Disney vacation planners will use the term Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts in reference to the Disney Vacation Club properties for non-Members. (These resorts previously were listed as Disney Vacation Club Resorts.)

The Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts category tops off a line-up of Disney Resorts for every taste and budget, including Disney Value Resorts, Disney Moderate Resorts and Disney Deluxe Resorts.

As this resort category name change affects Guest rental bookings only, Disney Vacation Club Members will continue to know these properties as Disney Vacation Club Resorts.

I wonder what DVC resort would be considered a value resort?

I think what it meant was that there is now another category name added to the line-up of resorts.

I think what it means is when you visit the Disney website or call CRO for reservations, the new name will be used. If you are accessing the Vacation Club website or member services, the current name will be used. It's really no different than if they decided to start calling the deluxe resorts "premium resorts" instead. It doesn't change what they are, but how they are identified. I would assume that they will continue to have Disney Vacation Club on the signage at the resorts, so hopefully that won't cause any first time visitors to be confused.
