The only negatives with Davids is having to pay the amount up front (11 months in advance) in full. I have also used DVC Rental Store and paid only a deposit up front with the balance later but have never had a bad experience with either one.

Just used David’s for our trip over Mardi Gras. It was very easy and we didn’t have any issues with our reservation. Will be staying at DVC locations from now on

We used David’s for our last trip and stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Used dvcreservations for our upcoming trip staying at Boardwalk. Similar experience using both. Payment due up front.

What are the advantages to being a DVC member instead of just using sites like Dave's for when you want to go. I have been looking into joining but I'm really trying to find the pros of being a member.

I use the DVC board on Disboards to find owners that will rent their points directly to you.

Usually $1-$3 per point cheaper than David's.

I have probably done this process 10 or more times with multiple owners with zero problems. Disboards does a great job vetting the owners that post there.

We do it all the time.

As stated, the downside is paying everything upfront and you can not cancel.

The upside is that you stay at a deluxe resort for nearly half the cost. We love it. It’s also nice when you book 10-11 months out (you have to for the most wanted resorts/room types) and the room is paid in full. Your vacation finally comes and that cost is already taken care of.

I'm in between Boardwalk studio boardwalk view and Beach Club studio for Feb 10 -Feb 16

I read both resorts are going through room renovations. Hope renovations will be complete by then

We used David’s several years ago with no problems. We stayed at the Fort wilderness and it was great. The DVC section is further away from the resort amenities but it’s a lot less populated, which is nice.
