DVC Financing Options
Disney's Direct Financing
Disney offers financing on new retail DVC purchases. Rates and terms are set by Disney and apply only to direct (retail) purchases. Resale buyers are not eligible for Disney financing and must use outside funding sources.
Third-Party Personal Loans
Many DVC resale buyers use personal loans from credit unions, banks, or online lenders. Interest rates vary based on your credit score, income, and the lender. Personal loans work for both retail and resale purchases and don't require your home as collateral.
Home Equity Loans or HELOCs
If you have equity in your home, a home equity loan or line of credit is another option. These are secured by your home, which carries risk, but they typically carry lower interest rates than unsecured personal loans. Consult a financial advisor or tax professional to understand the full implications before using home equity for a DVC purchase.
Paying Cash
Cash is the simplest option for resale buyers. There's no application, no approval process, and no interest cost. Many resale contracts are priced between $10,000 and $30,000, which is within range for buyers who have planned and saved. The calculator above shows exactly how much interest you'd avoid by paying cash instead of financing.
