Renting DVC Points from Dave's

[MomTo3PrincessesInNJ]

Check the DVC boards on the DIS to see if someone has the # of points you need (you can use Dave's chart) available for rent. I've rented for $12.50/pt on the Dis and also had a contract that gave me the option to cancel and keep the points until they expired (which was almost a year after our reservation was booked). Dave's is really expansive but "safe." I'm glad I took a chance with an actual owner, we got a GREAT deal.

OKW is amazing. Beautiful, calming. It's not that far away from stuff, it just feels like it. We almost always have a car, which makes everything seem really close.

And for us, AK Jambo/Kidani (yes we've given both a shot) is our least favorite that we've stayed in (stayed at: OKW, SSR, Jambo/Kidani, WL, BW, as well as Pop, AS Music and Sports, AOA, CBR, and POR). The service we have received is just lousy, the bus situation we've encountered is just unspeakably bad, and we feel that the good stuff is available to the public (lobby, seeing the animals from the main areas, etc). It's our personal opinion based on our experiences.

Thank you so much for your advice! I've visited AKL once to eat at Sanaa but I've never been to OKW before. Distance doesn't matter too much to us, but being able to take a boat over to Disney Springs is definitely a plus!


YES.

OP, if you look at those sites and see mention of a $95 fee to be paid at checkin, run away. That's a trade, and as Deb said, it's not allowed to be sold.

I'll definitely keep that option open as well! I love the security of Dave's but I'm also curious to see if I can get better deals elsewhere!

As a rentee you can always get a better deal on the rent/trade boards here. The security is the same if with Daves or by a member. There is no cancelation or change available with Daves. The only security is that if the renting member with Daves cancels they MIGHT be able to get another member to cover that reservation if still available.
