Last on our list of best vacation clubs to join in 2022, the highly desirable Disney Vacation Club. DVC timeshares are so highly in demand that they are sold out from the developer and are only available on the resale market. While there are significant resale restrictions when buying DVC timeshares, it is still the most affordable and efficient way to get into this exclusive club.
While exchanging within the DVC resort network with points is more difficult when you buy resale, working with an external exchange company helps by-pass that issue. Disney Vacation Club just recently entered an affiliation agreement with Interval International. This gives DVC owners the opportunity to purchase an II membership and use it to exchange within the Disney resort network as well as thousands of other top-rated timeshare resorts worldwide.
