Might rent points for our vacation - questions

[travelbel]

Hello! We're thinking of renting points for our vacation in November. We normally stay onsite in a hotel.
1. Once we rent, will we be able to link our reservation into MDE?
2. Can we buy discounted tickets because we are renting?
3. What about fastpasses? Can we reserve 60 days ahead of time?

Thanks!

1)Yes
2)DVC members don't have access to any sort of discounted tickets outside of being able to buy the Gold AP however as a renter you wouldn't have access to that anyways. You can buy discounted tickets from 3rd party vendors if you want.
3)Yes

Just be aware with the difference in cancellation policies between renting DVC points and paying cash with Disney.

Renting a DVC stay onsite gives you access to all onsite benefits.

Renting a DVC stay does not make you a DVC member.

If you are not a card carrying DVC member, you don't get DVC discounts.

November is a busy time and I'd be more concerned with landing your desired dates, resort and villa size.

As a renter, you do get free parking at the resort.

So true!

Yes, anyone staying on points gets free parking. The cost is covered by member dues.
