Free dining and staying with points

[connie254]

Is it possible to stay at DVC with points and get free dining? I'm thinking about buying into DVC within the year and that would an influence on buying?

No, free dining is only available through CRO with a package purchase including a full price room and at least a 1 day ticket. DVC is not a full price room, over the life of the contract it is about a 75% discount.

If you are happy with a value or moderate room and like these special offers, DVC may not be for you. I like to stay at deluxe resorts. As an example, the room I have in early December (BWV 1 bedroom) is $500 per night with tax if I went through CRO to get the free dining, so about $3,000 for 6 nights. It's 155 points for the 6 nights, maintenance dues on that is about $800. So it would not be worth it to me to pay full price for the room to get the free dining.

if you really like shopping for deals like free dining and 7/4 and so forth, you probably wouldn't want to own DVC. you would just feel left out...
