With the imminent opening of Epic Universe at Universal Orlando Resort, on top of all the resort currently offers, many Walt Disney World fans may be more than a little curious as to what is going on down the road.

Unfortunately, Disney Vacation Club members may often feel stuck going to Disney Parks and other Disney vacation offerings. They may think it is financially irresponsible to “waste” their DVC points and go on a non-Disney vacation. But did you know you can use DVC points to pay for a Universal trip?

Universal Orlando Swap

Our friends at DVC Rental Store have developed the Universal Orlando Swap program, a method for Disney Vacation Club members to exchange their points with DVC Rental Store to pay for a Universal Orlando Resort vacation.

DVC Rental Store’s professional Swap Advisors will guide you every step of the way to find a Universal Orlando Resort vacation package that fits your needs and travel plans. Then, you will be given a quote with the total cost of your package and how many DVC points you will need to rent out in order to cover it. If you are short on points, the difference can be paid. Also, each member of your vacation party will get a voucher for a free lanyard at Universal Orlando Resort!

How Does it Work?

When a Disney Vacation Club member rents out their points on DVC Rental Store, they put their points up for sale, which non-DVC members can purchase, allowing them to use your points when you don’t need them. With the Universal Orlando Swap program, the points are still put up for rent, but you reap the benefits immediately, rather than once the points are purchased. Additionally, since cash is not being exchanged, your rental sales won’t be taxed. This makes the Universal Orlando Swap program the most efficient and cost-conscious way to get rid of your unwanted DVC points.

How Many Points Will It Cost?

Packages vary by length of stay and choice of Universal Orlando Resort hotel, however, they generally range between 8-26 points per night. Packages can include park tickets and even special event tickets like Halloween Horror Nights.

More specific details can be found on their website.

This is just one of the multiple Swap programs offered by DVC Rental Store! There are also options for Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, beach vacation homes, and Sandals Resort.
