What Is A DVC Shop Custom Rental?



DVC Shop is your one stop shop for all things Disney Vacation Club including renting! Whether you are DVC member or not, you can utilize our rental services to save up to 60% on your next Disney Resort stay. Booking a DVC Shop Rental is even easier now with our Custom Rentals! Read on for more information on DVC Shop Custom Rentals!

What Are Custom Rentals?

There are 2 ways to find rentals through DVC Shop: Confirmed Reservations and Custom Rentals. Confirmed Reservations are stays at DVC Resorts that have been booked by DVC Owners and placed online for anyone to rent. If you cannot find a Confirmed Reservation that matches your preferences, you can search our Custom Rentals. Through Custom Rentals, you can book a stay for your desired dates and resort at a fraction of the normal price!
