Renting DVC question...

[TinyTGO]

If I rent someone's points will I still have access to magical express? Will I still be able to get Magic Bands for my family?

Yes, the owner of the points sets up the MDE for you and can link your reservation to your WDW account if you have one.

You get the same benefits of any WDW guest. You don't get any DVC perks.

Also, any changes, special room requests or adding the dining plan have to be done through the owner you rented from. Dining plans must be paid in full at the time that they are added to the reservation because that's the way that DVC works. Basically, they control the reservation until you check in.

You will have all of the advantages that any Disney resort guest gets (like EMH, access to the resort's theme pool, ADRs at 180+10, FP+ at 60 days prior to arrival, MBs) but none of the benefits that DVC members have (such as member discounts or events or Top of the World Lounge).

Does the member have to setup the MDE or can I?

A My Disney Experience account is yours. The member has to give you the reservation confirmation to link in MDE.

Am I able to setup the Magical Express or does the member have to do it on my behalf?

I believe they have to setup Magical Express for you because that is through the DVC portal if I recall correctly. Theres no harm in calling Magical Express though with your confirmation number and trying to set it up over the phone.

The member has to set up initially, you can call to make changes after set up.

Once you link your reservation to MDE, you can customize your Magic Band order yourself. Magical Express has to be done by the DVC member.
