Renting Disney Vacation Club (DVC) points can be defined as a one time use of a number of a DVC member’s points to book a deluxe villa room at WDW. To date there are currently 13 DVC resorts: 9 in Florida, 1 in Hawaii, 1, in Disneyland, 1 in Vero Beach, FL, and 1 in South Carolina. At the time, there was only one DVC resort. DVC opened in December of 1991 at Walt Disney World (Florida). The Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is Disney’s version of a timeshare. This method saved me 70% off of a stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge. My quest to make that happen is how I stumbled upon the Disney Vacation Club and renting points. I wanted us to stay at Disney World, but it had to fit within our budget. What I’m trying to say is, funds were limited. We had just graduated college 2 months before and had moved into our own place 3 months before. It all started in 2014, when I wanted to take my partner and our 2 siblings to Disney World. I wish I had discovered her site prior to our last WDW trip – it would have saved me hours of research and Microsoft Excel calculations! Take it away Krystel…. 
Today I have Krystel from Planning The Magic talk about how renting points for DVC Resort Hotels (Disney’s vacation club hotels – similar to a timeshare program) can save you money. We LOVED staying at Saratoga Springs (the location was great – we could walk to Disney Springs in less than 10 minutes!) and would definitely consider renting points again for future trips. I think this was due to the time we were traveling – it was peak season and the discounts we usually take advantage of were few and far between at a Disney owned property. It was only $200 more for the week if we booked a DVC resort hotel (a Deluxe resort hotel) through David’s Vacation Club Rentals. Surprisingly, renting points (something we’ve never done before) worked out almost the same as staying at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside (my husband’s favorite Moderate resort hotel). I spent many days trying to figure out how renting works and spent even more time breaking down what this Disney World pre-cruise visit was going to cost.

Have you considered staying at a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resort hotel but not sure how to go about booking a room or a villa if you’re not a DVC member? Late last year, my family rented points for a DVC resort hotel stay before cruising around the Caribbean.
