Do renters get any benifits?

[Vball_libero1]

I am new to the DISboards and I have rented some points for August this year from a DVC member. Do I get ther benifits like the free airport transportation and luggage benifit or the extended park hours? I have seen answers saying yes and saying no. Does anyone know for sure??
Thanks!

You get the same benefits as anyone staying at a Disney resort such as ME, DDP and extra magic hours. The member must set you up ME and/or the DDP. However, you are not entitled to any DVC member perks.

Enjoy your stay

Certain benefits are supposed to be for members only, but chances are you will have a leaflet in your check-in folder telling you that you can get a discount at certain restaurants. For example, 20% off at Chefs de France at lunch. If you are given the flyer offering the dining discounts, I would certainly give my room key when paying.

In fact, I did this once just prior to buying in to the program.

Renters are not entitled to member discounts. Because the room key in the past has said DVC member on it, people often used the key to get discounts they were not entitled to. Because of this, many of the restaurants now also require the member show his actual blue membership card in order to get the discount.

Anyone staying on property (including DVC) is eligible for Magical Express (ME)(airport transfers and luggage service). Depending on your airline, you may also be able to check your luggage in the hotel lobby for your return flights. I believe you will need to have your renter call MS once you have your airline reservations to get you signed up for ME.

If you want the DDP, you can pay for it at check in, but you will also need to have your renter call MS and add it to the reservation for you.

Early Magic Hours (EMH) are also for anyone staying on WDW property, including DVC.

The meal discounts, etc. are for members only, so you would not be eligible for those, but I don't think that's what you were asking. Hope you have a GREAT trip!

Warning: first time renters often become owners!

The main benefit is you get to stay at an amazing resort, in a beautiful room, for a fraction of the price.
