Bill
I think the OP isn't a member, and was simply asking to find out before they rented points from a member. The responses seem to be in the vein, in which we kibitz to each other, and I didn't want the OP to have hurt feelings from our banter.
To the OP, nope, no free dining for DVC members or those renting from a member. If you get a one-bedroom or larger villa, you'll have a full kitchen and could reduce your food bill substantially by eating in the room (we usually eat breakfast, take an afternnon break to each lunch, swim, and rest, then eat dinner before returning for an evening in the parks). It saves us money by eating most meals in the apartment.
However, you could request of the rentee to order the Dining Plan for you, but they will likely want reimbursement.
Good luck!

Took the words right out of my mouth. I mean to an outsider, DVC members get alot of discounts, why wouldn't someone think we could get this.
Good luck P. Pixie!
I have rented points before and much prefer it over paying rack rates for the deluxe. I get the DDP sometimes because I use it for signature restaurants and have found that it saves me money that way.
See, that's it! I missed out on the kool aid because I bought over the phone...
