OT: Renting DVC Points?
Peppermint Patty
because I know someone will have the answer. If you want to rent DVC
points from a member, can you make ressies at Disney resorts other
than the DVC resorts? Specifically, can you rent points to use say at
the Contemporary or Grand Floridian or even a moderate resort? If so,
is there a point chart available for those places? Thanks in advance!

points for regular hotel rooms.

That's true. Any honest dvc member will tell you you're probably better off
just booking a non-dvc room thru CRO than renting points to do so. All dvc
members have the point charts for the non-dvc resorts. Without getting up to
actually get mine, I do recall that at the moderates during the value season
it's 19 points per night during the week and more than that on Fri/Sat nights.
At $10/point that's more than the room rents for cash.

Even at the deluxes?

Especially at the deluxes! DVC is really geared toward members (or their
guests) staying at the DVC resorts. Because we enjoy staying at all the
different resorts, that is one reason we never bought into DVC. For our
plans, it was not cost effective because it was so expensive (in points) to
stay at non-DVC resorts. Having said that, what you get by staying at a DVC
resort is every bit as nice, if not nicer, than the deluxe resorts.

It isn't, or at least it wasn't when we checked, back when Old key West
was the only property. We loved the Poly and OKW seemed "far away" to
us when the kids were little, so we thought we would use points for the
Poly, but even the saleperson said it wasn't a good use of them and not
cost effective.

I am a DVC member and a week at The WL villas suit comes to $580 - $640 off
season a week for 5 people. if you know whare to look, you can find a DVC
memeber with point that are about to expire that cant be rolled a nother
year selling for cost or below.
the WL villa room are great. with a small kitchenet. yes it a little tight
with 5 people in a room but you dont spent much time there and when two are
kids it not bad.

Is this a 1BR that sleeps five? I thought that the DVC rooms would only
sleep four unless you got a 2BR. I know the OKW studios and 1BR only have
beds for four. Can you request an extra bed?

Studios and 1BR villas sleep 4 maximum (plus a baby in a porta-crib, must be
age 2 or younger). DVC doesn't allow extra beds - no cots or anything like
that.
