DVC= Disney Vacation Club. It's Disney's version of a timeshare. There's a whole board dedicated to DVC here... as far as "points" - basically, members own a certain number of points for the year. Nights at DVC resorts cost x-number of points per night.

Sometimes members "rent" their points to non-members if they don't plan on using them or want to make some money back - it's a great way for non-members to save money on resort stays. For example, two summers ago we had a studio room in BWV for about $160 per night, half of the cost of the same room had we booked directly through Disney. Now we're thinking of buying DVC for ourselves in the future.

The DVC boards can give you waaaay more information.

P.S. I just noticed you're about to go to WDW - there are kiosks everywhere with info on DVC. You can also take a tour of the model rooms.

Yes, Disney Vacation Club is like a timeshare. We bought a membership back in 2004. Great idea! We love it! Now we go every year. Our kids are young so we go to Disney. But we can use the points at locations throughout the world. It's worth going to the DVC booth and checking it out!

Take the tour. In my experience and from reading other posts, there is definitely no pressure. They have childcare and its a relaxing couple of hours which ends with ice-cream with the kids. When we went last August, they gave us Fastpasses for 48 hours to compensate us for the time we spent.

When we returned to Ottawa we decided to buy at SSR. We took the extra development points (double point in first year) which means that we're able to fit in two trips this year and rent points to a friend which has paid for our maintenance fees.
