What is DVC Magical Beginnings?
Back in December 2021, Paul wrote about DVC relaunching its Magical Beginnings point buyback campaign.
DVC Magical Beginnings is an offer you can take advantage of when buying DVC points directly from Disney. It allows you to receive a cash rebate in exchange for your first Use Year’s points. This applies to new or existing DVC members adding on, and it applies to any DVC resort Disney is actively selling, which can include certain “sold out” resorts. The cash rebate arrives in the form of a check about four weeks after closing on your DVC contract.
While giving up your first Use Year’s points may sound like a bad idea, for properties that are already open, like Riviera and Grand Floridian, if you choose a Use Year where 2023 has not started yet, you would receive 2022 Use Year points as well. This won’t work at the Villas at Disneyland Hotel because you do not receive 2022 UY points. You could, however, sell your 2023 UY points for a VDH contract.
For example, it is currently July 2023. If I purchased direct DVC points from Disney at Grand Floridian with an August Use Year, I would receive points for my August 2022 and 2023 years. The August 2022 Use Year points will expire on July 31, 2023 – although usually, if you just purchased the contract from Disney, they will let you bank those points. This leaves you with a choice, you could have double points to start with, or you could receive a cash rebate for those 2022 UY points.
While the program itself hasn’t changed, what has changed is the amount Disney is paying to buyback points. Disney is currently offering $22 per point, which is a pretty generous offer.
Here are the details available on the Disney Vacation Club website:
“Offer requires eligible new purchasers and add-on Members to be a resident of one of the 50 U.S. states and participate in a Resort sales tour, either telephonically or in person (“Tour”), and buy an ownership interest directly from Disney Vacation Development, Inc. (“Developer”) with at least 150 Vacation Points at select Disney Vacation Club Resorts. Eligible purchasers may exchange their full allotment of Vacation Points from the first Use Year for a cash rebate to be determined by Developer, currently $22 per point, subject to change. Amounts purchaser receives as part of this rebate may reduce the purchaser’s basis in the ownership interest for tax purposes. The TWDC Companies do not make any representations as to the income tax consequences of a rebate, sale, or resale of the purchaser’s ownership interest. Each purchaser should consult his or her own tax advisor as to these issues. Offer begins March 23, 2023. Purchasers must communicate their decision to participate in this offer to Developer at four (4) calendar days prior to the end of their first Use Year. Cash rebate cannot be applied toward any portion of the minimum 10% down payment required, depending on qualified financing, and is in the form of a check that will be mailed to purchaser approximately four (4) weeks after the deed has been recorded by the county. Offer cannot be combined with other select offers or discounts and may be extended, modified, or withdrawn at any time without notice. Void where prohibited.”

What sets DVC apart is the flexibility it provides. Members can tailor their vacations to fit their needs, whether it's a quick getaway or an extended stay. They can choose to use their vacation points to stay at a Disney Vacation Club resort or use them for other vacation options like Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, or even exchange them for stays at thousands of other resorts worldwide through the RCI exchange program.
Making The Most of Summer 2023 Direct Sales Promotions
In addition to the current summer promotions, DVC introduced an additional “Welcome Home” offer which takes $1000 off the price for new members and $1500 off the price for existing members when you buy DVC points while in a Disney theme park or on a cruise. It also applies up to 5 days after your trip or if you have a future trip booked at a Disney hotel or on a Disney Cruise.
One of the most enticing offers for existing members is purchasing 150 points at Grand Floridian. Grand Floridian’s current price is $217 per point. For existing members, when you purchase 150 points, there is a $2500 developer credit, a $1085 discount for the “free points” promotion, and then the aforementioned $1500 “Welcome Home” discount. This brings the price for 150 points down to $183.10 per point. This is your upfront cost; however, if you also opt for Magical Beginnings, you would receive a cash rebate of $3300, reducing your cost to just $161.10 per point.
For new members, the offer is not quite as good at 150 points but still comes down to $171.10 per point after Magical Beginnings and $169.15 per point when purchasing 200 points.
DVC members also enjoy a variety of exclusive perks and privileges. From early access to FastPass+ reservations to special discounts on dining, merchandise, and tours, being a part of DVC truly enhances the overall Disney vacation experience. But it doesn't stop there. DVC magical beginnings extend beyond just vacation accommodations. Members are part of a tight-knit community of Disney enthusiasts who share a common love for Disney and all the magic it brings. Through special events, member cruises, and dedicated communication channels, DVC fosters a sense of belonging that extends well beyond the vacation experience. In summary, DVC magical beginnings offer families the opportunity to create lifelong memories through the power of vacation ownership. With access to luxurious Disney Vacation Club resorts, flexible vacation options, exclusive perks, and a strong community of like-minded individuals, being a DVC member truly unlocks a world of magic and possibilities..
Reviews for "The Dvc Magic: A Perfect Beginning to Your Disney Vacation"
1. John - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with Dvc magical beginnings. The show lacked coherence and the storyline was hard to follow. It seemed like a jumbled mess of random scenes without any clear direction. The pacing was slow, and I found myself getting bored throughout the entire performance. Overall, it was a letdown and not worth the time or money.
2. Sarah - 1 star
I absolutely despised Dvc magical beginnings. The acting was subpar, and I couldn't connect with any of the characters. The musical numbers felt forced and out of place, distracting from the already weak plot. The costumes and set design were also lackluster and didn't add anything to the overall experience. I would not recommend wasting your time on this dreadful performance.
3. Mike - 2 stars
Dvc magical beginnings fell short of my expectations. The dialogue was cliché and lacked depth, making it difficult to engage with the story. The special effects were underwhelming, and the choreography seemed amateurish. It felt like a cheap imitation of other, more successful productions. Save your money and go watch something with higher production value.
4. Emily - 1 star
Dvc magical beginnings was a complete disaster. The performances were uninspiring, and the actors seemed disinterested in their roles. The writing was cheesy and predictable, with no surprises or plot twists. The show was advertised as a magical experience, but I left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied. I would not recommend wasting your time on this lackluster production.
5. David - 2 stars
I went into Dvc magical beginnings with high hopes, but it failed to deliver. The storyline was convoluted and hard to follow, leaving me confused and disconnected from the characters. The pacing was off, with some scenes dragging on for too long while others felt rushed. The overall execution felt sloppy, and I was left disappointed by the lack of attention to detail. I would not recommend this show to anyone looking for a quality theatrical experience.
