DVC Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Are Officially Sold Out

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a piece of the magic at one of the most iconic resorts at Walt Disney World, that ship has sailed — at least for now. The DVC Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort are officially sold out again.

I’ve been a Disney Vacation Club member since the early days, and I’ve seen this happen more than once. When DVC opens up new villas at a fan-favorite resort like the Grand Floridian, it’s game on. Everyone scrambles to grab points, and before you know it… gone.

Let’s break down exactly what happened, why it matters, and what your options are now.

What Are the DVC Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort?

The DVC Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort are part of Disney Vacation Club, a points-based timeshare program for people who want to stay at Deluxe-level Disney resorts year after year. The Grand Floridian is considered one of the crown jewels — a Victorian-style resort with monorail access to Magic Kingdom, and luxury vibes all around.

In 2022, Disney reimagined the Big Pine Key building and added over 200 villas to the mix. That project added a new phase to a resort that originally opened its DVC wing back in 2013. These villas included everything from Deluxe Studios to jaw-dropping Resort Studios that screamed “Disney luxury.”

Are the DVC Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Still Available?

Short answer? No.

Disney Vacation Club confirmed that as of October 30, the DVC Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort are completely sold out — again. They opened this new phase less than two years ago, and despite some ups and downs in sales, they’re now off the market.

In the beginning, sales were hot. Then they cooled off a bit, especially when Riviera Resort started grabbing the spotlight. But by summer 2023, some attractive incentives brought buyers back in. That surge pushed it across the finish line.

What Happens Now That the DVC Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Are Sold Out?

Even though the resort is sold out, that doesn’t mean it’s completely off-limits forever. There are a few important things to know:

1. Right of First Refusal (ROFR):
   DVC can still acquire points from resale contracts and offer them to new buyers.
2. Foreclosures or Returned Inventory:
   Occasionally, contracts get defaulted or returned, and DVC may quietly release those points back into circulation.
3. Prices May Rise:
   The promotional pricing that helped close out the Grand Floridian villas is likely going away. If any new inventory pops up, expect it to come with a higher price tag.

As someone who’s been a Disney Vacation Club member since the early ’90s, I always tell folks: don’t wait when you see availability at a resort you love. If you snooze, you really do lose.

Alternatives to the DVC Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

If you missed out, don’t worry — there’s still magic left on the table. Disney Vacation Club is still actively selling points at three other resorts:

• Disney’s Riviera Resort (also on the Skyliner line)
• Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Hawai’i
• The Villas at Disneyland Hotel in California

Each one has its own unique perks, and you can use your points at other DVC resorts if you plan smart and book early.

Another solid route? Check out the DVC resale market. Sometimes you can snag contracts for the Grand Floridian, but make sure you understand the restrictions. Not all resale contracts come with full perks — but they’re still a great way to get in.

Final Thoughts: What This Means for You

The DVC Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort selling out is a big deal — and a reminder that the best inventory doesn’t last long.

Whether you’re a long-time member or thinking about joining DVC, keep your eye on future updates. Disney could always open new phases at existing resorts or launch brand-new ones. (Rumors are swirling about new projects in development.)

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
