Since it’s the 25th anniversary of the Disney Vacation Club, here is a look back at a 23-year old DVC promotional video. It’s 17 and a half minutes long, and it’s interesting to compare this to the DVC of today.
When this video was made, there was only one DVC resort – the Disney Vacation Club resort at the Walt Disney World Resort – and it was not even half completed.
The furnishings in the rooms are quaint (but were luxurious at the time) and the plants and trees are not as lush as they are today at Old Key West (as the resort is called today).
The logo in the video is the original 3-mountain logo (they didn’t switch to the 2-mountain logo until 1995).
The video stresses the flexibility of the program and the accommodations and amenities of the resort. Interestingly, Member Services was a full-fledged travel service who took care of your plane reservations, rental car and more.
The biggest perk mentioned were the free theme park tickets to the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT Center, and Disney-MGM Studios through 1999.
Finally, prices started at just $11,210 ($56-57 per point), quite lower than today.
