For Rent or Transfer; 81 Riviera points $20pp [good anywhere]

[IMMkXLVI]

EDIT 3/15/25: Due to nonpayment for a held reservation, I have cancelled and released those points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have 81 Riviera points at $20 per point, must be used by November 30th 2025, meaning check out of the reservation must be by 11/30

Riviera uses a December UY and points can be used at Grand Floridian (and elsewhere) following the 7 month rules.

Price per point for Riviera $20

Prices are the same for a reservation or transfer to another DVC member. All reservations will receive confirmation at the time of the reservation and at any point afterward when the renter requests it.

Any reservation requiring points to be banked/borrowed requires full prepayment. Other reservations will be made and held open for 48 hours pending either a nonrefundable deposit or payment in full.


Reservations require the names of all guests, ages of those under 18, an email address and a phone number.

Hi, I'm new here. Does Dec UY mean the expire on Dec 31st, 2025 or Jan 1st, 2026?
I am using an availability tool and seeing Riviera 1BR from Dec 12-15 for 119 pts. Thank you.

Hi. UY refers to the Use Year. The simplest way to describe it is the month in which Disney allocates the points, for the coming year. For reservations it can matter as some points can't be used in some years, like banked points from last year can't be used next year.

 

[DanielW_91]

Got it. Thank you. So with your use year you would be able to book this reservation?

I am looking to do a 6 night stay total. I would be open to other resorts for a split stay if needed. All 6 nights at Riviera would work as well. Any suggestions?

Thanks again for your help.

 

[IMMkXLVI]

Which 6 nights? You only mentioned the dates 12/12 through 12/15 which you can see above, means 3 nights and checking out by 11am on the 15th. I am drafting up a rental agreement for future rental contracts, but the Cliff notes version is that for a reservation at the end of the year and past my banking deadline it needs to be prepaid and is non refundable. I would strongly urge you once the agreement is signed, to buy trip protection to cover your expenses.

 

[DanielW_91]

Really any 6 nights in December. I was just trying to stay under the 120 points that you had available.

This charts shows the December rate, per night for a 1 bedroom with a resort view. The lowest 6 night option is 217 points, 14th through the 19th checking out the 20th.

 

[DanielW_91]

Great. And you could book this whole stay with the amount of points you have? I thought your post said 120pts.

Also, what kind of verification do you provide prior to payment? Thanks.

I can, by borrowing points from next year. It isn't ideal but given my wife's MBA courses are going to be changing our vacation schedule for the next 2-3 years, better to rent than lose them.

You may want to rent from someone who has the points available without borrowing, reason being, if I borrow, then I need at least the amount for the borrowed points upfront, before booking the reservation. Simply because the act of borrowing is permanent. It cannot be unwound, for any reason.

I cannot provide verification prior to that payment because without that payment, I'm not taking the step of borrowing the points.

 

[DanielW_91]

Would you be able to do the 1st 3 nights without borrowing so that you could provide confirmation? I feel that it might be easier to find someone get the remaining 3 night rather than try to get someone get all 6.

 

[IMMkXLVI]

Which 3 days?

 

[DanielW_91]

The original 12-15 would work. Could you see any issues coming up with 2 separate reservations?

 

[IMMkXLVI]

A Riviera 1 Bedroom Villa - Resort View is available for the three nights of checking in the 12th and checking out the morning of the 15th. It amounts to 119 points. Two separate reservations isn't an issue for the resort, if the room type is different, you'll be changing rooms but if the room type is identical on both reservations, then the resort can make it so you stay in the same room. Once you have both reservations, a call to Disney can arrange it.

Let do the 13th-16th. That should be 112pts. Will I be able to link to MDE account prior to payment? Thanks again for all the help!

I am looking for a small transfer (25 points). I am willing to pay a premium or take some more (up to 50) since it's a small amount. Please let me know if you are able to do it! Either resort is fine, I need them for a 7 month booking at Aulani. Thanks!

Let me see what I can do after checking into DanielW_91's request

I believe you can set up the Disney account beforehand and once you have a reservation number, add it to your profile.

Are you able to send me a PM? In order to book, I need private information. Rules prevent the exchange of email/phone openly. The requested dates are available. Check the forum rules and see when you will be able to send me a PM. I can use my information as a placeholder for the reservation if it will just be a short period before you can PM me.

Can you send me a PM? I believe I can accommodate your request.
