Allowing BW Inn and Yacht Club to be rented on DVC points.

[jade1]

I know it's crazy but I would love to see it happen, at least for a couple years.

Doesn't have to be the whole resort, just something to take the upcoming pressure off reservations.

Heck add CR, POLY and GF-at least some regular rooms as studios.

If you have qualified points, you can book these hotels now.

This already exists.

It's a terrible, TERRIBLE value.

Yep, with qualifying points, you can book BWI rooms starting at 43 points/ night and Yacht Club rooms starting at 41 points/night
(When a BWV studio starts a 9 points/night)
Basically, would you rather stay in a hotel room or a 2BR villa.

I thought you couldn't use points to book a hotel if it had a DVC attached.

So I thought you could book Yacht Club but not Beach Club or BoardWalk.

Am I completely wrong about that? Or was this an old rule that changed?

That was an old rule that changed a while ago.

Also, any trade to use the cash hotels still require DVC to trade a DVC villa as the exchange. It doesn't really do anything unless the DPEP side decides to give away rooms. Since they are hurting themselves, I do not see any reason for them to just let us trade one way and not the other.

Yes actually I did know we could use these hotels at inflated points. Should have qualified at a reasonable point allotment.

Yea good points. I guess if actual hotel rooms are indeed all full why would they.

Maybe if they are sitting empty at 60 days out, they could consider something, like 1/2 points exchange.

Because the rule in place says that if a hotel has a timeshare as certain percentage has to be cash room and the rest timeshare rooms. So disney has rules it has to follow to keep their timeshare status.

Ah, got it. Thank you.
