Disney Vacation Club Renews RCI Affiliation Agreement
Friday, February 21, 2014
The Disney Vacation Club has officially renewed their multi-year contact with the timeshare exchange company RCI.
As the largest timeshare exchange company in the world, RCI is affiliated with over 4,500 resorts including the 12 DVC timeshares. Through their affiliation agreement, Disney Vacation Club members will have access to these resorts. DVC members can simply enroll in RCI to exchange, bank, and separate weeks.
In return, RCI’s 4.7 million members will also be able to travel within the DVC resort network.
President, RCI, Gordon Gurnik said, “We are proud to renew our affiliation with Disney Vacation Club, one of the best-loved hospitality brands in the world. The high-quality properties that are a part of this internationally recognized vacation-ownership program carry the signature Disney experience that has perpetually captured the hearts of visitors. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the brand, as we both work to bring new and innovative services to the industry.”
Soon, another resort will be added to the list of Disney Vacation Club timeshares. DVC recently announced plans to expand Disney’s Polynesian Resort to include a vacation ownership segment. Located on Disney’s Seven Seas Lagoon, the new timeshare development will be a great edition to Disney’s “monorail” resorts. The other two resorts that surround the lagoon—Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Contemporary Resort—already have timeshare units available for DVC members.
Senior VP and General Manager, DVC said, “Our renewed affiliation with RCI provides our Members with more choice, expanded access and improved flexibility. We want our Members to enjoy vacations when they want, how they want and where they want. The exchange options available through RCI are an important part of this commitment, giving families even more opportunities to have fun together, see the world and make lifelong magical memories.”
