We are short 30 points for 1 night

[marivigi]

How many points are we allowed to "rent" from Disney?

Wondering if it is doable.

Thanks!

I believe the limit is 25 for "one time use" points from Disney. You may want to consider a transfer from another member on our Rent/Trade Board. If you decide to try a transfer, plese be sure to read the Sticky Thread on the Rent/Trade Board:

You can purchase up to 24 per UY.

One time use points can only be used at 7 months, not during the home resort booking window.

Cash rates might be available for the missing night from MS. The rate has always been too high for my liking.

Many other options you may have not considered, but flexibility is the key!

*book an onsite room for 1st or last night of trip

*book an offsite room at end of trip (I'd suggest at Universal to explore new horizons), split trips are easy once you have a few under your belt.

*7 months, look @ another DVC resort with lower point requirements & add the 1st or last night or switch the entire trip over. If not available immediately, waitlist the whole trip or night you need.

*downgrade category, depending on your occupancy level

*borrow the points from your next UY

*try to rent the one night & link the reservations

or

*(never popular)shave off a night from the trip entirely.

Take one hit of addonitis to solve this... just don't get too addicted!

Thank you!! all great options for WDW, however, we are going to Disneyland, so many of those options aren´t available there.

Thanks again!

Lol we actually did this last year ... We got the points from last year for the missing 30 points we needed plus more points for this year. I know we need help to late for us save yourselves..

Yes, this is easy, just add on 30 points. Problem solved! I'm sure Disney would love to sell you 30 Poly points. Lol

True, and a 30 point contract would be easy to resell in the future, too. I'd probably give in and buy the add-on myself, but I already have the disease so that's just how I roll.

Gotcha! Hate to say it, but my family prefers DLH over the GC lol.

Good luck

BTW, it is only 24 one time use points per Use year that can be rented from Disney. https://disneyvacationclub.disney.go.com/faq/add-on-one-time-use-points/how-to/

Embassy Suites Anaheim South. That's where this DVC family stayed when we were there in the spring. No way is it worth that many points for VGC (especially during spring break!) It's not like WDW.. it's barely a mile (if even that much) to the parking lot. We didn't try the shuttle but a lot of people did and I heard pretty good reviews from those I spoke with.

OP: Do you own points at VGC or is this just a one-off trip out west?

We own VGF points but will be visiting Anaheim for Xmas, and are coming up short 30 points for 1 night

We love PPH over DLH and the Grand is our second least fave in the whole area. Best parts of it in our opinion are the free-to-all lobby.

Sooooo many good places to stay in the Disneyland area! We love the Hilton Anaheim and Anabella.
