I've seen a LOT more availability than I expected so far. It's hard to know much is going to be available going forward as DVC clears certain inventory and RCI members become more aware of the option to trade to DVC. The availability does seem to have calmed down somewhat from the initial options. However, I see something new almost daily. There are somewhere in the range of just over 120 units it appears in the RCI weeks and RCI points combined inventory as of this afternoon. Thursday there was a 2 BR AKV Easter week and many other 2 BR including BWV, VWL and BCV.how come the availible units is so poor. Does DVC just make availible their excess??
what are others experience using RCI points to book into DVC??
What is 'RCI'?
Wow; my Aunt is w/RCI and she offered us her condo for a week (Orange Lake) but we really wanted to stay on property this time. How does it work? I see that it's pretty new; what properties would you be able to stay at? (Does it just depend on availability?)
Orange Lake is huge and it is a fairly nice resort though not in the top group of Hilton's, Marriott, Hyatt, DVC and the like. Unfortunately OLCC doesn't have that great of trading power and you cannot trade it for DVC no matter how good the trading power is because DVC/RCI blocks trades for other Orlando Area timeshares. Likely the best thing about OLCC is being able to get larger units (3 BR) and multiple units. Tell your family to be VERY wary if they are asked to convert to the new Holiday Inn points option as it is not worth a large fee to do so.Wow; my Aunt is w/RCI and she offered us her condo for a week (Orange Lake) but we really wanted to stay on property this time.
