How to Request a Disney Vacation Club Rental Step by Step

Introduction

Requesting a Disney Vacation Club rental can feel unfamiliar the first time, especially compared to booking a hotel directly. The process is straightforward once you know what to expect.

This guide walks through each step so you can submit a request with confidence.

Step One, Choose Travel Details

Before submitting a request, guests should confirm their travel dates, resort preferences, and room type.

Having flexibility with dates or resorts can improve success.

Step Two, Submit the Request

Guests submit a rental request through a platform or directly with an owner.

The request typically includes:

  1. Travel dates
  2. Preferred resort
  3. Room type
  4. Guest names

This information allows the owner to check availability accurately.

Step Three, Owner Confirms Availability

The owner reviews the request and confirms whether the points are available.

If available, the owner proceeds with booking the reservation in Disney's system.

Step Four, Agreement and Payment

Once availability is confirmed, guests review and accept the rental agreement.

Payment is typically required before the reservation is finalized.

Step Five, Reservation Confirmation

After booking, the reservation is placed in the guest's name and a Disney confirmation number is provided.

At this point, the stay exists in Disney's system.
