Exchanging Disney Points

[mrs3720]

Has anyone exchanged thier DVC points for other resorts ? Do you get a good value in exchanging through II to other resorts or is it worth it. I heard it was better to book cruises without exchanging points but what about the other resorts DVC promotes as part of thier reasons to buy into DVC.

If you are interested in these options you should explore them thoroughly. Actually Concierge collection, Disney hotels (non DVC) and cruises are likely the worst value in exchanging and II the best comparatively at least currently. If you take into account the value of what you give up though, only top II resorts during peak times are a true value. Planning well in advance (a year or more), investigating the resorts themselves on our own, being flexible and having a gamblers mentality are keys to successful exchanging with II as is being realistic. I find that when most DVC members say their flexible, they really are not.
