Is This The End Of DVC Rentals?

[DanceDisney23]

I just saw this article:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/trav...-club-changes-commercial-renters/84372282007/

It’s not super clear to me how this will affect people who rent through David’s or DVC Rental Store because the wording was confusing. Also not clear whether Disney will now cancel rented stays willy nilly.

We have rented in the past and had good experiences with it, though I noticed the price has gone up quite a bit.

Short answer is No.

Disney is attempting to crack down on those that are commercially renting out their points on a normal basis vs actually using them for themselves to vacation with. There are groups out there that own thousands of points and just use them to rent to others.

DVC members are still allowed to rent out points. David’s and DVCrentalstore will continue to be good choices as they rent people’s points who are not able to go on a trip during a year and aren’t renting the same person’s entire point balance on a yearly basis.

I agree the price of renting has gone up.
However the cost of Disney rooms also has increased.
DVC annual dues/maintenance fees have also increased.
DVC members renting want to at least make enough to cover these dues which must be paid whether points are used or not.
With that in mind the rental stores have to increase their prices a little to pay the DVC members willing to rent their points

There's a big thread on this over on the DVC Mouscellaneous Board:

Thread 'DVC T &C Personal Use - Only Thread to Discuss.'

There is a post out there that has an updated document about DVCs Terms and Conditins regarding bookings. It’s at the end of the booking.

It says effective June 1st. I’m still trying to find the document to post but the essence appears to have some updated language and clarification about personal use.

There also is a check box that you attest it’s personal use,,

I checked the website and don’t see it there yet. Once I can get the offical language …or if anyone else can find it…post.

Since this appears to be an update regarding rentals, this thread will the the one and only to...

"Big" being an understatement....

Interesting that this caught the attention of national news.

It may make getting pre booked confirmed DVC rentals harder but it not the end of DVC rentals.
