Renting DVC points and DDP

SarahLouise · 17 Jan 19, 10:30 PM

Hello
Can I rent DVC points and add the dining plan?

My plan is a package with Disney for 2 weeks with 21 day tickets and DDP.. then move to Beach Club as I really want to stay there for 1 week and rent dvc points and add the dining plan...using the last 7 days of our 21 day ticket.

We missed the free dining for this year, we are going in October.

Is this possible?

TIA!

Yes you can, but you have to pay the US $ price, not the UK � price. The person/company you rent points from needs to book it for you.

WOO! Yay, thank you.. I thought it may be possible. That's great. We rented points at AK our last trip which worked really well.

So excited I want to stay at a Boardwalk resort so we can walk to epcot but it's way too pricey any other way

The DDP is poor value for most people when paying in $ via DVC- do the calculations- most DVC owners do not get it, polls show only about 20% or so get it (once saw a poll with 600 answers and it was just over). You are better off probably paying cash, and throwing in some quick serve to lower the bills - some great ones within a walk of BWV. That's my view anyway.
You will I am sure love staying at BWV, it is wonderful!

I did a rough calculation we are currently staying at AOA for 3 weeks, taking 6 nights off our stay off saves us �1100
6 nights at BWV with DDP renting points costs roughly �1500 and that is good enough for me!

Comparatively booking direct is coming out �3k even wihtout DDP ! Plus to book DDP you have to buy tickets again...

We like the ddp as we don't have to think about food costs too
