    I am booking DVC for my brother's family. Is there anything I need to be concerned about since I will not be there?

    Hey there, Robert! Welcome to planDisney. It's always the best day ever whenever I get to talk about all things Disney Vacation Club with a fellow Member, and I'm happy to provide the information you need for your family's upcoming stay. 

    What a good brother you are, using your Vacation Points so your family can enjoy a magical Disney adventure! During our decade as DVC Members, it has been really lovely to be able to include friends and family to join us on some vacations - the flexibility is such a great feature of Membership. 

    Robert, making a reservation for your family members is a "Hakuna Matata" situation! You will enter their information in the Guest details at the time of booking, and the reservation will be in their names. You will receive a confirmation email and can forward it to them so they have the confirmation number and details. They can then add the reservation to their My Disney Experience account. 

    Your brother's family can take advantage of the benefits of staying at a DVC resort during their stay, including Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. However, the benefits that you receive as a DVC Member, including discounts on dining and merchandise, are not transferable to non-Members. It's a good idea to make that clear before their arrival so they are not surprised. 

    I hope this information is helpful, Robert! I'm sure your family will have an incredible time on their vacation - and you can plan an extended family trip together in the not-too-distant future. Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney, and please come see us again anytime for questions about your DVC Membership or Disney destinations in general.
