Can DVC members also make reservations at Disney Hotels? I would like to stay at the Grand Floridian Mar 19-22,2006 and I'm thinking I could get a better deal renting points from someone rather than booking thru Disney.
Anyone able to answer, Thanks.
 
While DVC members can make reservations at other WDW resorts (except Value Resorts), the point costs are much higher than for DVC resorts and in many cases it will cost less to reserve directly thru Disney rather than thru a member.

For the Grand Floridian for March 19-22, 2006 - each night would cost 53 points (weekends would be 95 points per night) ... and that's for a garden view room. Lagoon view would be 64 points per night. Concierge would be 89 points per night. Be sure to know what the cost would be thru Disney directly before having a member reserve those nights.
 
The cheapest room during that time is 53 points a night, and you can usually rent points for about $10.00 a point. That means each night would cost you about $530.

For renting through Disney, that's peak season and the cheapest room rate is $475 a night.

It can be done, but it's not always the wisest use of points to rent a room at a non-DVC resort.
 
Forget Gf book a DVC villa, you will enjoy it better and save. :banana: :Pinkbounc :banana:
 

thanks for the information - I think it would be better to book a DVC
 
We booked my 40th at GF Concierge Level--what a waste. They were rude and didn't even acknowledge my birthday although I told them and wore a birthday badge.

You're better staying at Poly Concierge. The people are wonderful, the breakfast, snacks/desserts, cookies and h'orduerves are outstanding. Also, there is a surprise in your room that is quite good. Be sure to ask for a lagoon view to see the fireworks and/or lagoon parade.

Happy 40th!
 
jbarry you will be much happier in a DVC!!!

all are great!

for a 40th birthday, I would recommend BCV or BWV - since you will probably be at Epcot the most. Plus there is the nightlife at BW
