One night at the Poly

I have tried in vain to get points for a night at the Poly for my wifes Birthday on August 26th.

I really don't have a clue on how to use those DVC companies that are advertised at the top of the screen.

I'd even consider BLT with a view of the fireworks.

How is the cheapest and easiest way of booking it please?

We're staying onsite for 11 nights anyway, but thought it would be a nice Birthday treat if not too expensive.

If you want to use an agency try David's

They will contact an owner who has points available to rent and the owner will then make the booking for you using their points. You are looking at paying $15-$16 per point with the night you want costing 24 points. I checked availability and there is availability at the Poly in a standard view studio but there's nothing at BLT.

I may be totally wrong in which case ignore me! I have a feeling Daves doesn't do 1 night stays as his min rental is 40+ points

However I may be talking nonsense!

You possibly are talking nonsense

I made a booking for a renter via David's which was for one night at BWV but I can't remember how many points they used.

ETA - I just checked and it used 30 points.

A standard Studio is available that night. No lake view though. There is also a lake view BLT, but no theme park view. Poly is 24 points, BLT 23. Maybe someone here will book for you. Go ask on the DVC rent board.

Jumping on board here...Davids site does actually say 2 night minimum... however it also says 30 point minimum... and I'm actually looking for a night at GFV which is less than that... pity!

I did ask on, way back in May 2016.

Dave's is showing Lake View at the Poly, and Magic Kingdom view at BLT, for the night I wanted, the 26th.

Decisions decisions...
