Paying cash to make up for not enough points

[kdonnel]

I have seen people mention that atleast with the cruises they have paid partially with points and partially with cash.

How much does disney charge per point that you are short?

Is it the same per point charge no matter where you are staying? Cruise, or a DVC resort?

As far as the cruises go, you must pay for at least one person (adult) per cabin with points. You may pay a cash price for the others in that same cabin if you so choose. The cash price is one that MS negotiated with the DCL and has nothing to do with points.

If you do not have enough points for your stay at a DVC resort, you can make a cash reservation with CRO for the additional nights. You cannot pay a combination of points and cash for the same night. You can also make a cash reservation for a 25% discount with MS if there is availability.

HTH. Post again if the above didn't anser your question.

That answered it.

Thanks!

If you have an Annual Pass the AP discounts are usually much better than the DVC discounts. 40% vs 25%. AP reservations have to be made through CRO.
