Not thrilled with the Beach Club at all...

YC and BC are two of my favorite resorts. Stormalong Bay is absolutely amazing and the decor is awesome there!

We always go to Disney to relax. Last summer for three nights in a studio at BWV and we pool hopped. Over New Years for six nights and only two in the parks. We were in a studio at BWV for two nights and a one bedroom at VWL for the rest of the time. We shop and explore the other resorts. We always stayed in budget or moderate resorts until we joined DVC. The best value is DVC especially during the week. The points range from 12 to 19 for a preferred studio at BWV. Less for standard or OKW. During the summer one can stay at BWV for 14 points. My cost for over 40 years is about $85-$90 a night which includes tax. If you rent from a DVC member on the rental board for the going rate of $10 a point, then it will cost you $140 including tax. Not bad for a studio with microwave, refrigerator, and preferred view at BWV, VWL, or BCV. Other times would be less or more at Christmas. Even New Years is only 19 points during the week. If I was not a member and wanted to try a Deluxe hotel, this is what I would do unless you could find a good discount.

BeckyV is right! Renting DVC points is a great way to save on a deluxe. We are renting points for a BCV studio in september. With just us & a toddler in a pack & Play, the layout (1 bed + sofa) is perfect. The free fridge & microwave are are nice bonus. The price is the best thing - $120 per night with no tax!

And...if you do the math, buying into DVC is a HUGE money saver over the next 40 years... that's why we bought in!
