Haven’t been to Disney in 12 years - so confused!

[Jen Baney]

I apologize if this answer is in another thread. I did some searching but couldn’t find the exact answer.

When renting points from DVC owners - are there any benefits that are not available?
Could we do the fast pass reservations at 60 days out?
Could we do the dining reservations 180 days out?

Thanks in advance!

You won't get daily housekeeping. Trash and Towel service is included in all stays of more than four days. If your stay is for less than eight nights, you will receive Trash & Towel service on day four. If your stay is for eight nights or longer, you will receive a full cleaning service on day four, and Trash & Towel service on day eight. After that, the cycle begins again on day twelve. Day one is check-in day. Daily housekeeping can be arranged and paid for at time of check-in. The following rates are subject to change:

Additional Full Cleaning Rates:
Studio - $30.00 for each day requested
One-Bedroom - $45.00 for each day requested
Two-Bedroom - $60.00 for each day requested
Three-Bedroom - $75.00 for each day requested

Additional Trash & Towel Rates:
Studio - $10.00 for each day requested
One-Bedroom - $15.00 for each day requested
Two-Bedroom - $20.00 for each day requested
Three-Bedroom - $30.00 for each day requested

Could we do the fast pass reservations at 60 days out?

Yup.

Could we do the dining reservations 180 days out?

Yup. Anyone can make advanced dining reservations at 180 days out whether you're staying on site or not. But if staying on site, via disney direct or renting points, you can make reservations for up to 10 days of your trip at the 180 day mark from day 1 of your trip.

And if it was 12 yrs since your last stay, many of the restaurants are new/different. Also been awhile since our last Disney trip and what I recall as the 'Top of the World' restaurant at the Contemporary is now a different name. Bay Lake towers didn't exist and they now have a rooftop restaurant with a similar name. We don't plan to book too many advance dinner reservations since we don't know what the new ones may be like.
