One thing that I think makes Kenny and his team the best was their willingness to explain the process for listing and selling with them.  It was a quick, simple and hassle-free process.  They really know their stuff and took good care of us all the way through the process.

Andy H.

Kenny and the DisneysBestKeptSecret.com team had significantly lower seller fee’s than any other company we inquired about.  Why pay a higher commission when we received the same great service you’d expect from DVC representatives. Great guy and wonderful team!

Jessica M.

Kenny and his team were wonderful and have become more than just a “sales guide” as we consider him a friend and made our process to join simple, easy and explained everything in easy to understand terms.  I highly recommend DBKS to anyone and go with confidence.

Nate S.

The DBKS team are the best!  Always treated us with respect, educated us on the pros / cons of buying through resale vs. direct and made the process super simple.  They always responded in a timely manner and addressed any questions or concerns we had at now we’re proud owners of multiple DVC resorts!   Thank you!

Mark B.

We worked with Kenny when he was at DVC and once went on his own, we knew we wanted to add more points through resale and were happy to work with him again!  Always asks about our family, wishes us Happy Birthday and just a great guy and has a great team at Disney’s Best Kept Secret!  Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting resale and will certainly use again when our “add-on-itis” hits!

Heather H.

This team are solid professionals!  Well versed in DVC and the pros / cons of buying both direct vs. resale and made our choice a simple one so we purchased 2 contracts through him on resale and couldn’t be happier!  Told us how to keep taking advantage of the food / merch discounts and not to use our points for Disney Cruises, etc. so what a great team and very informative!  Highly recommend!

Jennifer B.

Talk about easy to work with!  Kenny and his team are wonderful, thoughtful and took the time explaining the differences in resorts, where the best bang for the buck was and why some of the DVC “perks” aren’t worth it compared to what we saved buying on the resale market!  If you have a Disney Visa card, there’s your 10% food / merch discounts, so why spend thousands more to buy direct!  All the money we saved buying resale we couldn’t be happier!

Adam W.

Buying through DBKS was as simple as it gets!  We made an offer, quickly negotiated and passed ROFR in about 18 days!  We just closed and got our points loaded up and made our first reservation for Aulani!!  Couldn’t be happier!  Thank you Kenny and DBKS!!

Steve W.

These guys are the real deal!  Super knowledgeable about DVC!  Showed us how to maximize our points for DVC resorts, how to rent them out for certain “restrictions” like Disney Cruises & certain Disney hotels we wanted to travel to that DVC puts on us resale owners and still come out ahead!!   Can’t believe how easy this was and the team was super helpful!  Kudos on job well done!

Anthony T.

The whole team at Disney’s Best Kept Secret are just wonderful!  We loved the throwback of the old DVC slogan which is what caught our eye with these guys and then upon speaking with them, they explained how it all works, restrictions, perks, how to maximize our membership and still enjoy most of the perks with minimal hiccups.  Frankly, I can’t see why anyone would buy direct just to use points on cruises and get a few small discounts knowing what we know now!   Highly recommend!

Corey M.

Trying to navigate through all the DVC resale companies can be hard, but once we spoke with Disney’s Best Kept Secret agents, we knew we’d made the right choice.  They didn’t have the contract we were looking for, so once they acquired it, they called us and let us have first dibs on it and we’re now proud DVC owners!   Thank you for this team and all the memories we’re excited to make!

Lisa

Having bought a few direct contracts over the years, I worked with Kenny at DVC and then when he went into resale, I knew I wanted to add and he delivered the same great service and Disney “magic” that he always has and made our resale purchase smooth and hassle free.  Highly recommend him and his team!

Steven S.

The team at DBKS are second to none!  From communication upfront, explaining the whole process of not only resale, but clearing up some misconceptions we had about DVC / resale in general, they made the transaction fun, smooth and we couldn’t be happier.  You can’t go wrong with these guys!

Justin B

Shopped a few resale companies, but this team seemed to be on top of things! Took time to explain the process, made us feel welcome and never a bother no matter who long we took to make a decision. Even told us a few things we didn’t know and pointed us in the right direction for a resale contract and we couldn’t be more excited!  Been using the heck out of it and loving DVC!!  Thanks DBKS and we’ll be back for sure!

Carmen F

We worked with Kenny while he was at DVC in Anaheim, super great guy and always helpful so once he went to resale and we knew we wanted to add more points, we kept in touch and he got us a great deal!!   We also sold with him and used that money to re-buy into the Villas at Disneyland Hotel!   Can’t recommend Kenny enough!

Sunshine A.

Working with DBKS was a breeze!   Not only did they make the whole process of buying a resale contract super simple, but also recommended some sites to help renting our direct points out to pay for our Disney cruise and get a better value!  These guys know their stuff and having worked directly for DVC, they are very well versed in all aspects!  Can’t go wrong with this team!

Matt F

We’re locals in FL and decided we wanted to buy DVC for little “staycations” and travel out to Aulani occasionally, so we talked with DBKS and they helped us make an informed decision on which resort to buy to get the best value and we couldn’t be happier!   We didn’t care about the discounts / perks since we are Disney Visa card holders, so resale was a breeze and we are proud owners of 3 home resorts!  Thank you very much!

John P

After researching the blogs and a few other DVC resale companies, we called around then spoke with DBKS and they were amazing!  No pressure, answered all the questions and are particularly well versed in Aulani and CA properties being West Coast based, which is refreshing, so we pulled the trigger on an Aulani resale and LOVE IT!  They made it so easy and we just celebrated our 50th at Aulani!   Great team and service….

Robert W.

Living in CA, when we searched for DVC resales, most of the companies popped up from Florida and didn’t have much insight into CA / Aulani, so when we found Kenny and team out here, they understood what we wanted and delivered!  We talked about the Disneyland hotel restrictions, pros / cons, and made the choice to buy into Aulani and just rent out if we want to stay at Disneyland here and there since we only do 1-2 nights per year being locals, they really understood and we couldn’t be happier!  Thank you!

Courtney L

We bought into Aulani about 10 years ago with hopes of being able to use in CA as long as wasn’t last minute, well that’s happened MAYBE twice. So we were thinking of selling and researched DVC resales and that’s when DBKS popped up on the West Coast!  Being former CA guides, they understood the frustrations and helped us sell our Aulani contract FAST and we used the profit to buy into the CA resort at VDH!  Now we own where we want and the process was smooth and friendly.. great team and great results!

Lana B.

One of the coolest things about this team is their Buy program!  If I wanted to list, they would do for a great low commission OR I could just sell to them as long as my dues were up to date, paid and not all the points “stripped” out.  We worked out an offer, they submitted ROFR and they bought from me and before we closed I added on Villas at Disneyland Hotel for member add on discount and couldn’t be happier!  Took my profit and put down on my loan and done!   Very smooth and trustworthy!

Richard F

We worked with Kenny while he was at DVC in Anaheim and helped us secure some VDH points. Once he left, we were bummed., but we kept in touch and once he opened DBKS, we knew we wanted to add on points and didn’t hesitate to work with him again!  Great service as always and super easy process and now proud of owners of some resale Aulani points! Highly recommend!

Rudy L

Kenny was one of the top guys in Anaheim DVC and we were sad when he heard he left, but we’ve kept in contact and once he opened a resale branch, we were happy to add on. He and his team are solid professionals and give you all the info to make the right decision. We even referred someone and he said told them resale wasn’t the right fit for them based on their needs, so they aren’t just in it for the “sale” , but really care about helping people out!

We first met Kenny in 2019. We did a DVC tour while in Disneyland to get free fast passes (ahhh memories). At that time, we had never stayed at a Disney property, been on a Disney Cruise, or been to Disney World. Shortly after getting home, we found a resale contract at our preferred home resort of The Grand Californian. We went through the purchase process and closed on it. In 2020, we bought 2 more resale timeshares at Aulani. In 2021 another Aulani. The FINALLY in 2023, we purchased our 1st Disney direct contract from Kenny Smith. Two actually, at the Villas at Disneyland Hotel. Working with Kenny was so easy, and he made sure the process went smoothly. Owning DVC has completely changed how we travel and how often we travel. We stay in 1 bedroom villas, on Disney property with full kitchens, washer and dryer. Plenty of room. I am so happy to learn that Kenny has started this new venture into resale DVC. And I can’t wait to buy our next contract from him.

About DVC and DVC Resales

When you join DVC, you buy a deeded real estate interest in a Disney Vacation Club resort. This deed comes with an annual allotment of points that you use to stay at the resorts and they replenish each year for the length of the deed.

DVC Points are used to book your vacation accommodations.  Easiest way to think of it is smaller rooms (studios) take less points than larger rooms (2-3 bedrooms) and Christmas week takes more points than going mid-January. (Peak times / more expensive, Off Peak / less expensive), same as if you pay in cash.

Membership is based on a deeded real estate interest in one of the DVC resorts. Where you purchase into becomes known as your home resort and provides you with a reservation priority window.

Home resorts may be reserved as far as 11 months in advance of your stay while all of the other DVC resorts may be reserved at 7 months in advance.

  1. One-time purchase price.
  2. Annual Dues
  3. Closing Costs
  4. Exchange Fee when Membership is used outside of DVC Resorts (Disney Hotels / Disney Cruise line / Interval International) – (currently $95 per transaction)

Current DVC resale prices range from approximately in the $50’s to low $200’s per point.  The initial purchase price of a Disney Vacation Club resale can vary based on several factors, some of which are size of the contract in points, resort and current point availability.

Disney’s Best Kept Secret can save you thousands of dollars on the purchase price by becoming a DVC Member through resale. The savings can be tremendous, anywhere from $20 to $80 per point.  That savings can be used to spend on other things such as airfare travel, park tickets, kids college, etc.

As a DVC Member through a resale purchase, you can enjoy all of the 14 DVC resort properties, including Home Resort Priority at your resort of purchase. Members can also enjoy all of the World Passport Collection (Interval International).

In 1991, The Walt Disney Company launched the Disney Vacation Club, Disney’s version of a timeshare, so members could enjoy magical vacations for year after year staying at our best Deluxe resorts and eventually realize a tremendous savings & value on future trips.

The first resort was Old Key West, which has a nice relaxing vibe with Bob Marley / Jimmy Buffet music playing and members enjoy the largest of all DVC rooms here at this resort since was the 1st one!

DVC Members that did not purchase resale prior to April 4, 2016 must maintain a minimum of 150 direct purchased points to  receive certain incidental benefits such as discounts on annual passes, dining and shopping and access to some Member Events.

Effective January 19, 2019, resale contracts purchased for the existing 14 Disney Vacation Club Resorts (DVC Resorts Opened Prior to 2019, commonly known as the 14 Legacy DVC Resorts) will only be able to exchange Points into those 14 Resorts.

Many members realize by purchasing resale and by utilizing certain things, such as Disney Visa card, discounted Disney gift cards, etc. you can still enjoy nice park discounts on food / merch and also take advantage of tremendous savings through resale.

DVC members receive mostly a 10% discount off food / merch (a FEW places give us 20% off, but rare).  By having a Disney Visa card, you can receive the same 10% off food / merch but still enjoy the tremendous savings of buying through resale!
