DVD (the seperate legal entity that operates DVC) does allocate a certain percentage of rooms (villas) to Disney. As such, you can make a cash reservation for the DVC resorts via Disney's Central Reservations Office. Availability may be limited. The various codes that often come out for Disney resorts do/may apply to a reservation at one of the DVC resorts.
You can also check out the Rent/Trade Board and explore that route - it can save you a lot depending on when you are going.
We're renting points from a DVC member. A $300+/night studio room is only costing us about $128/night, quite a bargain and better than any Disney discounts.
Our Authorized Disney Vacation Planners are here to provide personalized, expert advice, answer every question, and uncover the best discounts.
Let Dreams Unlimited Travel take care of all the details, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a stress-free vacation.
