DDP when renting points

[scott0918]

If you rent someone's points, can you just use them to pay for a Magic Your Way Package, and therefore can purchase the DDP?

Thanks!

When staying on DVC points (either renting or using your own), you may add a dining plan without buying into a package. The difference is that the additional cost of the dining plan is due at the time it's added (and if renting, the owner has to do it).

Points can only be used for accommodations, not for tickets, dining plan or anything else. But as Cafeen said, DVC stays are eligible to purchase the DDP.

DVC reservations are not MYW packages and you can't make one into a MYW package. The two reservation systems, DVC and CRO (Disney's Central Reservations Office) are completely separate.

Disney has, however, arranged that DVC members booking through Member Services may purchase the dining plans with their reservations.

If you do the rental, you'll be buying your tickets separately, not as a package, and you are not eligible for free dining. You can, however, have the member you are renting from add a dining plan to your reservation. Rules are similar - everyone registered in the room must be on the same plan for the duration of the stay. It's possible with DVC to segment the reservation, stay in the same room and only get dining for part of the stay, discuss that with the member you rent from if it interests you.

The member must add the DDP to the reservation and pay Member Services for it. You won't be able to do it because DVC Member Services will only deal with the actual member. You'll need to arrange with the member how you will pay for the dining plan. It must be paid when it is added to the reservation, and it must be added no later than 2 days before arrival.
