My DF and I just booked our honeymoon for 12 nights at OKW by renting points!:woohoo: Has anyone here ever done this? What was your experience like?
We are so excited and can't wait to have a nice big 1 br villa to lounge around in...not to mention the jacuzzi ;)
 
didnt rent points but we stayed with my aunt before at okw in a 2 bedroom villa on a family trip, it was real nice. the boat to dtd is very convinient. enjoy!

35 days to go! :bride:
 
Yes actually 3 times, all through members of disboards.

1st time was at BCV in 2004 for a Thurs - Sun stay.

2nd time is for our upcoming honeymoon at BCV in May, a 2 bedroom villa (my fiance & my 2 stepchildren to be!) & a 1 bedroom villa (for my sister & her family) - all from one seller who had ALOT of points that he couldn't use. We are staying a week.

3rd time was actually a last minute thing. My fiance has been deployed in Korea for the last year and will be home WED! He kind of feels out of the loop on all the planning so we are headed down 2-26 to 3-2 and are staying at OKW in a 1 bedroom Villa alone. I figured OKW was a quiet relaxing resort, we may or may not do a park (we have the AP's to activate if we like). I rented from another seller & got a great deal.

A few things to make sure of when you book - always ask for references of other disboard members & check with those people, see how many posts the person has and read through alot of them, check, check check & triple check your reservation with member services, and use a service like paypal for your transaction.

**Be sure to give your reservation number to your EM so they can credit the nights to your room requirement**
 

I'm a DVC member myself and I still end up renting points for trips from other friends, hubby won't let me buy anymore at the moment.

I just stayed at OKW this past December and it was wonderful so much so we have a Grand Villa booked in May for a massive Girlie Trip.

The 1 BR are truly luxurious. Paul never lets me rent one as they're heavy on points and we're never in the room for that long LOL even on our honeymoon we didn't but that Jacuzzi bath looks fab :thumbsup2

Olivia's is wonderful for breakkie and I love the location of OKW - you feel right in the middle of all the parks - great fun.

I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time :love:
 
We did this for my family and dh's family and some friends (mostly attendants) for the wedding as I am a DVC member but simply didn't have enough points for everyone. I used a contract that we both signed to "protect" us, but it still made me a tad nervous. But the couple we rented from (we only used one couple) was FABulous! It was cheaper for everyone to rent DVC points than to pay the discounted dftw rate at the Beachclub and Boardwalk.
