DVC vs regular (Boardwalk)

[Raenstoirm]

We stayed at Boardwalk last fall in a regular hotel room. This trip we have infant twins in tow so we rented DVC points from a member on here. Already got our bands and ME stuff so the ressie is all set. Is there anything we need to know? Are there logistical differences between DVC and a regular room? Do we check in the same place, etc? Outside of a different part of the building and a different room configuration, I assume everything is the same, but wanted to make sure.

Check in will be the same. The main difference will be housekeeping. Since you rented points your room will only get cleaned every 4th day.

What size villa did you reserve? If you are staying seven nights or less, you will get your towels replaced on day four (day one is check in day) and your trash removed. Consumables will be replaced as well. You will not get a full cleaning. If you stay eight nights or more, you will get a full cleaning on day four and trash and towel service on day eight.

If you stay 7 nights or less, there is no cleaning. There's trash & towel service on day 4.
