We just took a trip to WDW in June, and stayed at the WL. From the minute we stepped into the building we were hooked. I think I have the DW talked into aother trip in January, just her and me. Her one big requirement is that we are frugle about the $$$. That led me to think that renting points would get us into a "better" place, but for less $$$. For starters, here are some of the specifics about that proposed trip.
When; Jan 1 to ~Jan 5 or 6, 2006
Who: Just me & DW (our 24th wedding anniversary is Jan 2)
Where: Love the WL, so VWL are an option, but am open to anything, including resort hotels.
What: Probably only 1/2 the time in the parks. A relaxing day at the room, a dip in the pool, maybe a trip to the spa, maybe a round of golf for moi. We're not overly fancy people, just would like a peaceful & beatiful place to relax. Nothing too fancy for dinner. Our fav last time was Alfredo's, followed by Mama Melrose & WCC
Questions:
-- Any issues with Disney or the CMs when you are a points renter, not the DVC owner?
-- What exactly is the process? I suppose the DVC owner needs to make the ressies, and is the one "billed" from WDW. The cash would exchange between DVC owner & renter.
-- Would the ressie be in the renters name or the DVC name? If the latter does that cause an issue ?
-- What is limited housekeeping? I suppose it's every few days, not the full service every day like in the resort hotels.
-- Can points be used for Disney Hotels like WL? If so is is economically the right thing to do?
-- What haven't I asked that I should?
Thanks in advance. The DIS has always been a great help for me, and I know this trip into new DIS places will be the same.
