If I were to exchange RCI points for DVC property (chances unlikely) would I then be eligible for the dinning plan if applicable? Or does it have to be booked through Disney?

Thanks for the info. Follow up question, are DVC properties available to RCI holders, often. My MOM just "inherited" RCI properties and I have been playing on their web-site trying to figure stuff out. I came across some Disney property for July, Aug. and Sept., do you think more dates will become available, is there a time frame for DVC members to turn in or bank their weeks?
Thanks
Just adding for clarification -- the values used for RCI Weeks are "Trade Power Units" or TPU for short. Thus, your weeks from Va Beach were worth 16 TPU each or 32 TPU when combined.I'm an RCI weeks holder - each of the units I own in Va Beach are worth 16 points - I had to combine 2 units ($100 fee to combine them) and I was able to trade (have to pay an exchange fee of $169) for 1 week in a 1 bedroom at the Beach Club Villas . At the time of my booking in October 2011 - I was able to book an April trip for 32 points. Sometime after I booked I noticed they upped the value of the weeks at DVC resorts so now its over 40 points to book a week.
As noted, you can get the DDP. You must add it through DVC member services and pay for all in the unit at any time for 7 nights. DVC exchanges aren't that hard to find if you try. A 2 BR will be in the range of 100K RCI points give or take depending on time of year and resort in question. The majority of deposits are 7 months out, I think late Sept is the latest I've seen recently. There was a build deposit sometime last week. OKW and SSR are by far the most available but I've seen all WDW resorts and even a few 3 BR units lately.If I were to exchange RCI points for DVC property (chances unlikely) would I then be eligible for the dinning plan if applicable?
