timeshares

Hi! New here! Where do I go to find where people post timeshares they can't use? I truly appreciate it!

there is a rent/trade board down in the DVC forum area which offers rental by individuals (not disney) for onsite timeshare resorts. you need to be signed in to see it. please read the FAQ as there are several rules specific to that area.

discussion of other timeshares can be found in the "orlando hotels and attractions" forum. no rentals for those are offered on the DIS however.

since DVC is a timeshare, be aware that you do not get daily mousekeeping when booking through an owner. you may not get any sort of cancellation policy. studios except for OKW include 1 queen bed and 1 pullout sofabed - OKW studios have 2 queens.

the other thing about DVC being a timeshare is that owners often book early - 10-11 months in advance. if you start looking 4-5 months out, availability may be very limited. sometimes owners won't respond to you as you are not asking a reasonable question.

it's getting a little dated but this thread is still a good place to start to learn more about renting from an owner:

Chalee94 covered everything. Don't be afraid of the DVC Rent/Trade board. Many people are there that will help you with everything and offer reasonable deals....
