I just wanted to know how this works?

You should plan well in advance as DVC members tend to book 10-11 months out for "fall frenzy" (Sept to early Jan) and will still book the most popular options at other times by 7-8 months out.

This link explains it in more detail:

Is my name on the reservation?

Yes - but you would not technically control the reservation. The DVC owner controls the reservation until you check in.

Can i get the dining plan?

Yes, if you book it (and pay in full for it) in advance.

Can I have the Disney Dining Plan?
Yes, you can add the Disney Dining Plan if you wish. Disney Vacation Club now requires full payment in advance of your arrival. Complete details are on my Disney Dining Plan page.

You do not need to be staying at at Disney Resort to make advanced dining reservations. Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs) can be made 180 days in advance of your reservation date by calling (407) WDW-DINE. Guests staying at a Disney Resort can book reservations for each night of their stay starting 180 days in advance of their arrival. Park tickets are required if the restaurant you wish to eat at is located inside a theme park.

Do i just get tickets through disney?

Yes. Or an authorized reseller like undercovertourist or mapleleaftickets.

Can i link the dvc reservation to my disney experience?

yes.

what if i have to cancel?

This might be the most important thing to understand before deciding that you want to rent a DVC points stay.

Can I cancel a reservation?
No. Due to the complexity of banking and borrowing points, cancellations, upgrades and date modifications are not permitted. You may explore the possibilities of adding Travel Insurance to protect yourself against unexpected situations. I do not provide this insurance, but you can obtain a very reasonable quote...
