Too Much?

[nedidajohn]

I'm looking at renting a VWL from a VCM 4/15 to 4/22 he's asking 1400 or OKW for 1100. Should I look elsewhere? I realize its a savings but I could stay in a stdvw for 90 more and hope for a discount to come along? Help

That is "magic season" for DVC so a studio at VWL would be 134 points for that week. So the $1400 sounds about right for the 7 nights.

If you're looking at week nights only, it is 70 points, so the $1400 would be high

It all depends, as Chuck noted if it is for the full week, I think it is a bargin. If I had the points, or their was availability I'd charge you $13.50 per point or $1809.00 US for the VWL ressie.

The VWL has the smallest number of rooms, and you have picked a 'high-demand' time to go, and you are a little late in getting this ressie.

To be fair, if their is availability you could find distressed points renting for much less. However, do you want to trust your vacation to an Owner who allowed their points to become distressed in the first place?

Finally, trust is a major component of this rental process. If you have a good rapport, a 'good' feeling with the Owner you are renting from, why risk getting ripped off to save $1.00 a point.

Based on these assumptions, Sun-Sun Stay = 134 points. $1,400/134 = $10.45 a point. You want to risk this ressie to possibly save $134.00?????

Again as Chuck said $20.00 a point (even for a greedy dog like me ) for a Sunday - Friday ressie is 'rather high', and you maybe able to do much better.

Good Luck and enjoy your vacation!

Also, a Standard WL hotel room comes with daily maid service, but no refridgerator, microwave, or toaster in your room. As a VWL guest you will also have access to free laundry facilities (WHOO HOO! Laundry on vacation!).

You run no risks with a WL ressie through CRO and can cancel it 6 days prior to arrival.

I doubt that a significant discount code will materialize for this high demand week, but suprisingly, I have been reportedly wrong in the past!

ETA:

Finally, Because I am a psychopath (just ask anyone) I logged into www.disney.com, for your dates the ressie in the cheapest WL room is $2,283.75†. (This is not a VWL room!) Here is the link: http://wdw.reservations.disney.go.c...velDWIBC.woa/18/wo/nm3jKjdn9wpH50ifp6tQJg/7.4

Note this is a room quote link and tends to become inactive in a couple of hours.

Unless you are staying for less time, or already have a significant discount, I may not be compairing Apples to Apples.!

Sounds like a good deal. Have a great vacation.

You are talking Easter and I'd bet most of the DVC resorts are already booked. If the owner has an existing reservation, it may be your only opportunity unless someone else also has a reservation that they need to sell.

You are looking at the full week, so you are getting this reservation for about $10 a point. A real bargain.

If you don't like it, rent the same room through Disney and CRO.
