If I rent DVC from DIS'er, is Free Dining still available to me?

[Corryn]

Hello,
I'm thinking of renting one of your DVC rentals from a fellow DIS'er. However, I want to take advantage of the Free Dining offered in September.
Would I be able to rent from one of you but still receive the free dining, or is that only through Disney?

Thank you,
Corryn

No, free dining is not available when booking a stay on points (whether as an owner or a renter). THe only way to qualify for free dining is to book a stay through CRO.

No unfortunately you will not be able to do that. Free dining is only if you pay full rack rate to Disney with tickets. You may however want to compare money to money. While you may feel like you are getting a deal with free dining, it doesn't always work out that way. Be sure to price it out both ways.

Keep in mind, if you do rent from a DVC rental you can add dining if you wish! YOu just have to pay for it!

Good luck and happy planning.
