Everyone Should Buy Resale

Resale timeshares buyers have a deed for the same property sold at the presentations, and they’ve purchased the ownership for just a fraction of the cost.

When you visit Disney Vacation Club resorts as a resale owner, you will receive the same great treatment as someone who bought direct.
