Disney4me Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 Both Disneyland and Disney World recently announced that they will remain closed “until further notice.” Now, more Disney properties are following suit. Aulani © Disney Since all of the Disney parks around the globe are currently closed, we weren’t surprised to see other Disney properties taking similar action. Disney Vacation Club properties are now facing an extended closure as well. For the safety of both guests and Cast Members, Disney has announced that all Disney Vacation Club properties will remain closed “until further notice.” This includes Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort, and Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. ©Disney According to Disney, until a decision is made regarding when the resorts will reopen, all reservations scheduled to arrive during the closure will be automatically cancelled by Disney Vacation Club on a week-by-week basis. Members do not need to cancel the reservation online or contact Member Services. Disney’s Vero Beach Resort ©Disney Given the unusual circumstances, Disney Vacation Club has also adopted a temporary cancellation policy. This policy lifts the close-in reservation cancellation restrictions and guests will receive their points back as Vacation Points or Reservation Points without points being placed into holding. Any Borrowed Points returned due to cancellation will not be placed in holding and will be returned to the Use Year they were borrowed from.

At this time, Disney is assessing the banking and expiration policy and the use of Points affected by the closures. The company is considering the impact any changes could have on future availability. A decision will be made when Disney has a clearer picture of the full impact of the closures. ©Disney Disney anticipates a high call volume in the coming days, so they suggest Members visit the Disney Vacation Club website for general questions.
