they will not be with DVC points.
The hubster and I booked a trip for Memorial Day weekend (May 29-June 3) however we got to talking and would really love to add both Friday and Saturday (June 3 &4) to our trip and check out on Sunday June 5th.
We don't want to use points, as we borrowed from next year and it leaves us enough to take a trip next Spring. So I called DVC and asked about the rate using the DVC cash discount. It comes to $255/night plus tax to add the two nights to our ressie (SSR studio).
However, on Annual Passholder Specials, I can get a studio at SSR for two nights for $221/night + plus tax. The DVC rep on the phone agreed that the AP rate would be the way to go.
So now I am wondering if we go ahead and book those two nights under the AP discount can we tell them at check in and be able to keep our room that we will already have on our points stay ro will we have to do a whole "check-out/check-back-in" thing?

and on another note:
When looking up AP rates at various hotels, why does a deluxe villa hotel come out cheaper than a stay at a deluxe? I looked up the same two nights at Beach Club and found that the rate for a regular Beach Club room was just over $700 versus a BCV studio for around $550. Hmm maybe it's just because I am comparing a studio to a regular room. Okay, then so why is a studio cheaper than a regular room at a deluxe?
