the DVC point rental seems difficult to understand.


Just reading this thread, the whole thing sounds insanely complicated to me. Why not just decide when you want to take a vacation and where, rent a room, and buy park tickets?

Heres an example.

August 6 - 13
1 bedroom Villa standard view at the Board Walk
Cost directly from Disney website = $4,575.41

Now lets rent some points
Cost directly from a rental co = $3,190

The reality is that, any sort of Disney vacation these days, especially in a busy time of year, is very complicated. If you want reservations at a restaurant on property, you need to make them in advance. Which means you need to plan our day in advance. You need to book fastpass in advance, etc.

I'm not at all a fan of how complicated and how much planning you have to do these days. We are going thanksgiving week and my wife is already nagging me to make final decisions on where we want to book our table service meals, so she can go online at 6 am 180 days before check in to book them.

I looked at it this way.... Went for a week vacation 2yrs ago, cost me $5k. So then bought enough pts for a week at the same place cost me $25K. My vac contract is until 2064, so other than maint fees I get 48 yrs of vac for the cost of 5. Grand Fla is generally $900 a night if you pay cash.
