In episode 179 of the DVC Newscast, Peter and Sue discuss Disney Vacation Club’s March 31 adoption of a new commercial use policy, outlining criteria DVC may use to flag frequent renting/advertising and the enforcement tools available (e.g., cancelling reservations, limiting booking/modifications, restricting banking/borrowing, and reducing benefits) while emphasizing casual renting and family reservations should still be allowed and hoping enforcement improves availability at hard-to-book resorts. They note Disney raised one-time use points from $20 to $22.50 on March 23 (up to 24 points per contract, usable at 7 months or less). They cover DVC member offerings at Disney California Adventure (free photo sessions April 14–Aug 6, 2026; Wine Social Wednesdays in April ), upcoming refurbishments (BoardWalk’s Luna Park Pool Jan–Apr 2027; Grand Floridian Cafe mid-July–Oct), an after-2 PM ticket option for May 26–July 29..
