So after two hours of researching tonight, the good and bad of renting DVC points through one of several available websites out there, I think this might be something my wife and I do for our annual F&W festival trip later this fall (late Oct. - Early Nov.).. I'd really like to stay either at Beach Club Villas or Boardwalk Villas since they are in walking (or boating) distance of Epcot's World showcase. The price for 5 nights in a studio at either location is very reasonable compared to what you would pay through Disney for a hotel room (Rack rate). We're about 7 months out now.. Should I seriously look into reserving a place now or give it a few more months. I don't know that I have exact dates locked down just yet.. How soon do these two locations sell out for this time of year? Also, can FP's be booked 60 days out if staying on property using DVC points that you rented?
Any of y'all with experience booking at WDW using DVC points that you rented, please give me your thoughts on the whole process.. Was it worth it? Was it simple to do? Did you ever need to call the seller for assistance in any matter, and if so, how was that? Are the Villas superior to the standard hotel rooms? Are Studios adequate space for two? Also, does Disney transportation pick you up (free of charge)from the airport using DVC points to book your accommodations? Thanks for any and all help you might provide..
I'm really getting excited at the thought of staying at the Boardwalk or Beach Club during the Food & Wine Festival..
