Boardwalk Question

[fottafamily05]

Hi fellow Dis friends! We are staying at the Boardwalk in Feb and celebrating my DD's birthday. We are renting DVC points for the stay. My question is....when renting with the DVC points do you ever get upgraded? We have had pixie dust in the past and been upgraded but its when we actually rented through Disney. Thanks any info! I really appreciate it!

Generally dvc villas don't get upgraded. It has happened in the past but not with any regularity.

That's what I was thinking! Thank you!

Never. Unless your villa is taken out of service and there isn't another villa of the same size. But all one bedrooms are connected to studios to make a two bedroom villa (all two bedrooms are lockoffs), so if you have a one bedroom villa, that's the best you can do. They are not going to open the door to the attached studio for free. And there are only about seven Grand Villas which go like hotcakes.

I rent DVC points a lot and have never been upgraded. I did do an RCI exchange once and was upgraded from a standard to a savanna view at AKL, however.

No upgrades sometimes I feel Dvc.ers are forgot no perks.
