Opened in 2009, The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian has the distinction of being the smallest of the DVC properties, with only 71 rooms available. That is part of the reason this resort commands the highest price of any DVC resale property on the market. Reservations at the Grand Californian Villas are hard to come by if you don't have the advantage of the 11-month booking window that comes with a direct ownership.
Open Date: September 2009
Deed Expiration: January 31, 2060
Rooms: 71
Members and guests can choose from three relaxing pools during their stay at The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. The Fountain Pool, Mariposa Pool, and the Redwood Pool are all located in a central courtyard and feature a pool slide, kids area, and two whirlpool spas.
As defined by its name, the resort is also well known for its signature spa services. The Tenaya Stone Spa (Opening Spring 2020) is inspired by “the spirit of nature and California heritage” and invites members and guests to relax, unwind, and recharge.

When you purchase a Disney Vacation Club Membership on the Secondary market instead of directly from Disney, certain Membership Extras, AKA “Member Perks”, are not included. Here is the Breakdown:
If You Purchase a Legacy Resort – One of the original 14 Disney Vacation Club resorts, including the new Polynesian Island Tower
You can:
• Book your Home Resort (the resort you own) up to 11 months in advance, or
• Book other eligible DVC resorts up to 7 months in advance
If You Purchase a Newer “Restricted” Resort – DVC resorts built after 2019:
Currently, there are 3: The Riviera Resort, The Villas at Disneyland Hotel, or The Cabins at Fort Wilderness.
A Resale buyer:
• Can only stay at that one Home Resort (cannot be exchanged to other DVC Resorts)
• You can book this Home Resort from 0 to 11 months in advance
What Can’t Resale Buyers Do?
Resale buyers cannot book and use their points with Disney for:
• Disney Cruise Line
• Adventures by Disney
• Disney Collection exchanges
• Annual Pass Discounts
• Dining & merchandise discounts
• Moonlight Magic events
These are optional perks, not core ownership benefits – Disney can add or remove any of these Member perks at any time.
What Do Resale Buyers Still Receive?
When you purchase a DVC resale property, you still enjoy these benefits — including:
✔ The same booking process through Disney and Member Services
✔ The same deluxe villa accommodations
✔ The same 11-month Home Resort booking priority
✔ The same contract expiration date
✔ The same annual dues structure
✔ The same banking and borrowing flexibility
Plus, all the perks of staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort:
✔ Early Theme Park Entry every day
✔ Extended Evening Hours at select parks (Deluxe benefit)
✔ Complimentary Disney transportation (bus, Skyliner, monorail, boats)
✔ Complimentary standard parking at Disney theme parks, water parks, and Disney Springs
✔ Lightning Lane purchase access beginning at 7:00 AM (7 days prior to check-in for Resort guests)
✔ Immersive Deluxe Resort amenities, including themed pools, dining, and recreation
✔ And most importantly — the same unforgettable Disney vacations.
And often…
✔ $50–$100+ savings per point compared to buying direct — while staying in the exact same villas.
Buying a Disney Vacation Club resale is a straightforward and guided process. Our experienced team will walk you through each step from offer to ownership. Below is the process:
Once you find a listing that meets your family’s needs, you can either purchase it at the listed price or submit an offer. We will present your offer to the seller and negotiate on your behalf.
When both parties agree on price and terms:
The listing is marked Sale Pending
A purchase agreement is emailed to both buyer and seller
You review, sign, and return the agreement
A 10% deposit is submitted (check or credit card)
Your deposit is held securely in escrow by the title company.
Once the agreement is signed by both parties, it is submitted to Disney for Right of First Refusal (ROFR) review.
Disney typically takes 21–35 days to respond.
If Disney waives ROFR (Chooses NOT to Buyback)
The contract moves forward to closing
The package is secured for you
If Disney exercises ROFR (Buyback):
Disney becomes the buyer
You either receive a 100% refund of your deposit, or
You may apply the deposit toward a different DVC property
After ROFR is waived, the title company:
Conducts a title search
Orders title insurance
Requests an estoppel report from Disney
Prepares your final closing statement
The estoppel confirms key details, including annual dues, mortgage payoff, and any outstanding financial obligations
When your closing documents are ready, they will be emailed to you for review and signature.
At that time, you will submit your final balance, which includes:
Remaining purchase price
Closing costs
Disney’s Contract Administrative Fee (CAF)
Current maintenance fees (if applicable)
Final payment may be made via:
Certified check
Bank check
Wire transfer
Credit card (Applies to select title companies; a 3% merchant processing fee may apply.)
Once closing is complete, the title company sends the ownership documents to Disney.
Disney typically takes 3–5 weeks to transfer the membership into your name.
When the transfer is complete:
You become the official DVC Member
You can call Disney Member Services to book
You will receive login access to the Disney Member website
And that’s it — you’re officially a Disney Vacation Club owner.
We hope this overview is helpful. If you have any questions about the process, pricing, ROFR trends, or specific listings, our team is always happy to assist.
We’re excited to help you take the next step toward creating lasting Disney memories through Disney Vacation Club ownership.
“Jamie helped navigate our first resale contract. She was prompt, detailed, and patient. We really appreciate the vibes for the entire dvcstore.com staff. We highly recommend that those looking into DVC resale contact the team.”
“Thirteen years ago, my husband and I had this crazy idea to buy a Disney Vacation Club contract. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we have ever made. Our contract was handled by Jaime, and it was such a great experience that we decided a few years later to do it all over again. Once again, Jamie was there to sail us through the process. Here we are, a decade and 6 grandchildren later, and once again, Jaime was a huge help in making this process as smooth as possible. This kind of relationship is unheard of these days and speaks to the professionalism and trustworthiness of this company. Don’t hesitate!!”
“Jamie helped navigate our first resale contract. She was prompt, detailed, and patient. We really appreciate the vibes for the entire dvcstore.com staff. We highly recommend that those looking into DVC resale contact the team.”
“Great transaction. Worked out very easily and accurately. Used dvcstore.com before when I bought my first contract, and was happy to use them again to purchase a contract at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas! Scot was very communicative and helpful!”
“Thank you to Jessica Parodi and The Timeshare Store team. My wife and I recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and stayed at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii for 10 nights. It was the most amazing experience. We have been working with this team for over 10 years. We also recently purchased a resale at our home resort, Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. We have consistently, either through renting or now buying, had a seamless and most trustworthy experience. Kara and I would recommend The Timeshare Store to anyone interested in having the most amazing Disney experience with such nice and very knowledgeable team members. Also want to thank Jerry, Scot, Jessica, and Leslie for always delivering above expectations!”
“The service was ’full’ from beginning to end. The person who worked with me from my first call was with me until closing; there was no “passing me off” to some other person/department. And I was always in the loop; there were no long periods of silence. I was always informed of the progress. It felt private and personal. And this was not our first rodeo, so I am aware of other companies in this arena. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my family’s needs in the future.”
“My wife and I will only be working with Jerry and his team going forward. We had an issue with a competitor, and I will never go back to the other competitor. The dvcstore.com team is always kind, respectful, and they communicate well.”
“dvcstore.com was wonderful in contacting us quickly about our resale contract. The process has been easy, and they have answered all my questions. I would for sure use them again!”
Submit your offer on any DVC points listing and take the first step toward owning magical Disney vacations — no obligation until your offer is accepted.
