The Concierge Collection refers to a group of resorts (currently 16) located throughout the country (and one beyond). While this sounds tempting, there are a few things to consider that your guide may not share. First and foremost, reservations are subject to availability and black-out dates may apply when using your points. Some hotels carry their own restrictions and require a 7-day stay. Each reservation made with points requires a non-refundable $95 transaction fee. To top it all off, there’s this little rule on the DVC member website: “You cannot book and travel on Concierge Collection reservations within the last 4 months of your use year.” In other words, actually using your points on the Concierge Collection is considerably more difficult than using them at the World.
Looking at The Disney Collection, The Disney Collection includes cabins on Disney Cruises and standard hotel rooms (in other words- not DVC villas) throughout the Disney properties, including Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and more. The Adventurer’s Collection. $95 transaction fee and restrictions around the last four months of your use year. Whether you book these trips by cash or points, they don’t come cheap. Many (including myself) may argue that you’d be better off arranging your international travel outside of Disney, period For those unfamiliar with DVC resale Restrictions, here is a general overview: Resale owners who purchase a contract at one of the original 14 Disney Vacation Club properties can only use and exchange their points at these 14 resorts. This excludes Riviera and Disneyland Hotel.
Additionally, resale buyers are not eligible for some of the benefits that Disney has deemed “Membership Extras.” These incidental benefits are subject to change at any time and are exclusive to owners who have opted to purchase at least 150 points at full price directly from Disney (as of June 2021).
