I’m so glad that you have taken the time to share all of your experience and personal knowledge about DVC.I have lessened so much and feel optimistic about us being able to “splurge” for our (most likely)once in a lifetime visit to Disney World and stay at a fabulous location. You’re channel helps make the magic ✨ more accessible.
We are finally getting ready to actually book DVC for a February trip for my 30th birthday, and it’s legitimately only because of you telling us about the DVC Rental Store and their extra perks. And we will absolutely use your affiliate link! If they’re reading this, get this woman a sponsorship!
Ma'am, your tips have been a game changer for me with booking great travel experiences. I'm sooo grateful. I've been using DVC Rental store and they are the best. And I've been able to find prices for very nice rooms cheaper that Disney rates. I really appreciate your research and willingness to share the wealth! You're a gem!
11:41 I was just looking tonight at dedicated reservations and found a few reservations on the DVC Rental store for $11/point. These are all reservations that are coming up in about a week or so, but a couple were at nice resorts. One was for a 1-bedroom at Copper Creek (7 nights for $2,607), 1-bedroom at Boardwalk Villas (3-nights for $1,056), and several Old Key West and Saratoga reservations.
Thank you so much for making this video/series about DVC points. I never thought DVC properties would be available to me, but I am so excited to know that it is an option.
Staying in a DVC studio at the grand Californian in a month! Can’t wait! SO much more affordable than the standard grand cal rooms plus the kitchenette will be perfect with a baby!
Have you ever added the Disney Dining Plan to your DVC rental? We have a confirmed rental through DVC rental store, but having someone else purchase the dining plan for us makes me so nervous.
Well you definitely sold me on dvc rental store! We're thinking of renting points for a boardwalk studio for our 20th anniversary. The price is basically the same as pop century 🤯 I mean it will be a tight fit since we're going with our two kids, but it's the boardwalk! lol
So we missed the opportunity to rent for our January request. The dates we needed were no longer available and they couldn’t match us in time. BUT we’re not giving up hope and will continue looking. This seems to be the most affordable way to stay on property with our larger group size. ❤ Thank you for all of the amazing information!
Question- If you rent DVC points, how does dining work? Can I still purchase a dining plan? Do you book dining reservations in the same way you would if you had a disney resort package? Thank you!
Yes, you can still purchase the dining plan ☺️ The owner of the DVC points would need to add the plan to the reservation on your behalf. And yes, how you book dining reservations is exactly the same 👌🏼
Hey Bekah! Love your channel. I'm currently searching the DVC rental store confirmed reservations and finding so many great places for 40%-50% at bay lake, beach club etc if I rent in July (4-6 weeks away) is that because it's so close to the reservation?
@Bekah Hart your welcome so happy for me to be here connecting with you because you are amazing Supporter and I'll stayed connected with you ❤️ 😊 have a great day
The latest our room has been ready is the official checkin time with DVC villas at 4pm 🙃 We don’t have a stroller napper either, so we do everything we can to get an early check in. Call ahead, get to the resort asap, make a small purchase so it signals to the resort you are there, and check with the front desk once you arrive. Those are the things that have helped us get early check ins on all of our trips this past year 🙌🏼
So I’ll save a little money if I go with David’s maybe 100$, but if I go with Dvc Rental I’d have the option not to pay up front, and the better cancellation policy.. Which one would you do? Either way should you get travel insurance?
I’ve started planning 6 years in advance for a WDW Bucket List trip for my 50th (my daughters will be 8 and 11), and I’m loving the research! I just started learning about DVC rentals and your videos are great! Thinking about trying it for a Disneyland trip in Feb. Do you know if you’re ever able to pay with Disney Gift Cards with any of the brokers?
🫣🤔 this is so interesting I honestly didn’t even no about it till you and Ashley talked about it 😅 I’ll definitely look more in to it for our next trip ❤
Doing my research for an upcoming trip and really planning on doing DVC rental. I really want to stay at the contemporary because of how close it is to MK. It looks like the DVC option is Bay lake towers. Can you talk more about Bay Lake Towers? Is it as close as a standard contemporary room? Thank you❤❤❤
BLT is great!! It’s the exact same walking distance to MK as contemporary ☺️ The pro of a bay lake tower studio is the kitchenette, and of course the lower price point by renting points. The con is that the bathroom is very small, you have a pullout sofa instead of the second queen bed, and they’re not updated.
Also, when staying in a DVC villa, you’re still welcome to use all the amenities of the resort you’re at (pools and the like) or are you relegated to a DVC area?
So glad i watched this made decision to rent dvc for BWV. Its split stay with CBR before. So disney will transfer luggage? And my room at BWV could be ready before my luggage gets there from CBR which is ok?
It’s a possibility! Make sure to make a note that you are traveling with another party who is also renting points, and DVC Rental Store will be happy to help ☺️
It’s beautiful! Incredible dining and amazing location being right on the skyliner. It’s way overpriced in my opinion. So if you can find a great deal by renting DVC points, that’s definitely the only way I would stay there ☺️
Hello! Im new to your videos and find them extremely helpful but i do have just one question or more of a concern, Im trying to plan a week long disney trip for me and my mom at the riviera or maybe the yatch club and Im just looking to really confirm that renting DVC points is safe, like I just dont want to drop 3k on a hotel room, then show up with no reservation and be stuck in florida with no room.
I can 100% guarantee that renting DVC points is safe through a verified 3rd party company like DVC Rental Store 🙌🏼 I completely understand the nerves, I felt the exact same way before renting points the first time. Once you try it, I promise you will never go back! 😅
Thank you for all of your helpful videos, I just saved over $700 switching my reservations by renting points. I had already paid for my reservation at Disney using Disney gift cards and I got my refund. Now I'm going to use the money that I saved to buy my MNSSHP tickets and dining. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Finding your video allowed me to feel comfortable about being able to give my kid a Disney vacation. The DVC rental that you preferred they didn’t have any of the dates that I was looking for. DVC shop retail did have the days that we could go. I just wanted to make sure that they were legit. I have insurance that will cover any loss for me, so I’m OK.
Leave any other questions you have in the comments! ⬇️ I would love to chat more! ☺️
I’m still blown away that DVC Rental Store offers a cancellation policy and they don’t require all of the payment up front…seriously a game changer!
Right?! They make it so much more realistic to rent points 🙌🏼

Grand Cal is on my bucket list 😍 Those studios look amazing! Have the best time!
Just rented points for the first time for our upcoming October trip! Taking my 1 and 3 year old granddaughters for their birthday! So excited!
So exciting! Sounds like such a sweet trip ❤️
Have you ever added the Disney Dining Plan to your DVC rental? We have a confirmed rental through DVC rental store, but having someone else purchase the dining plan for us makes me so nervous.
Thank you for this video! Because of you, we booked our first DVC rental vacay for May! This is a great video!! Great job.
Love it! Happy trip planning 🥳

Oh no! Ahh such a bummer. I’m hopeful you’ll find the perfect reservation! 🙌🏼
Random question- what hair products do you use? Your hair is so shiny!
So helpful! We are booked are ready to go in October and we rented dvc points thanks to you 🥰
Woo! Yay! 🥳
This was super helpful. Thank you!
Absolutely!
This is such a great video about DVC points! 👏🏻
Thank you! ❤️

For sure going this route next trip! Thx for the info 😊
Absolutely! 🥳
I guess I didn’t realize how easy it was to request points. I always browse the confirmed reservations. I’ve never actually booked!
Yes! Submitting a request makes it so easy to get exactly what you’re looking for, rather than searching the confirmed reservations 🙌🏼☺️
Great information. Thanks
Thanks Tonya! ❤️
Hi Bekah good morning happy Friday morning and I loved your channel and your vlogs is amazing
New Subscriber
Thank you so much! 😊
@Bekah Hart your welcome so happy for me to be here connecting with you because you are amazing Supporter and I'll stayed connected with you ❤️ 😊 have a great day
Can I add on the meal plan if I rent through the DVC
Now that the dining plans are coming back in 2024, can you add a dining plan when renting points?
Yes!
thanks! I did a rec for you :)
Thank you! ❤️
What is the latest your room has been ready? A little stressed about nap time. My son will not sleep in a stroller 😅
The latest our room has been ready is the official checkin time with DVC villas at 4pm 🙃 We don’t have a stroller napper either, so we do everything we can to get an early check in.

@@BekahHart thank you for the tips!! We have a split stay as well so I’m trying to be prepared.

Hi there! Love your videos. You actually are not allowed to use crockpots or instapot in Disney World Resorts or the DVC villas either.
Thanks, Carrie! ☺️ I’ll have to do more research into that! I know families who keep their crockpot in their owner’s locker for each visit 🤷🏼♀️
great info! how far out is the best time to rent dvc points. We're looking at the Grand Floridian.
I would book between that 7-11 month window for Grand Floridian ☺️
Thanks so much for answering questions! Would travel insurance cover these rentals if you had to cancel?
DVC Rentals Store offers a great cancellation policy ☺️ But yes, you could also use travel insurance as well.
I’ve started planning 6 years in advance for a WDW Bucket List trip for my 50th (my daughters will be 8 and 11), and I’m loving the research! I just started learning about DVC rentals and your videos are great! Thinking about trying it for a Disneyland trip in Feb. Do you know if you’re ever able to pay with Disney Gift Cards with any of the brokers?
So glad I can help! ☺️ You can not pay with Disney gift cards to rent DVC points sadly.
🫣🤔 this is so interesting I honestly didn’t even no about it till you and Ashley talked about it 😅 I’ll definitely look more in to it for our next trip ❤
Once you try it, you’ll be hooked! 😍

@@BekahHart thank you so much! You’re the best!!!
Question have you ever had luck renting something 11months out especially at Poly in sept?
Yes! 11 months is the best time to book a DVC rental stay, especially at Poly! ☺️
Also, when staying in a DVC villa, you’re still welcome to use all the amenities of the resort you’re at (pools and the like) or are you relegated to a DVC area?
Yes! You are a guest of the deluxe resort, so you are free to use all of the same amenities.
@BekahHart do you still get access to the extra evening hours if you rent points for a deluxe?
Yes! ☺️
So glad i watched this made decision to rent dvc for BWV. Its split stay with CBR before. So disney will transfer luggage? And my room at BWV could be ready before my luggage gets there from CBR which is ok?
You will love BWV! And yes! They will transfer your luggage for you, and your room could potentially be ready before your luggage arrives ☺️
Do you still get the extended evening hours, that a deluxe resort family gets, when you rent dvc points? Are all the resort perks the same?Thank you!
Yes, you do! All deluxe resort perks are exactly the same ☺️
Thank you so much!
We want to rent rooms on the same floor or even adjoining, is that a possibility?
It’s a possibility! Make sure to make a note that you are traveling with another party who is also renting points, and DVC Rental Store will be happy to help ☺️
Thoughts on Riviera?
It’s beautiful! Incredible dining and amazing location being right on the skyliner. It’s way overpriced in my opinion. So if you can find a great deal by renting DVC points, that’s definitely the only way I would stay there ☺️

Have you ever booked with DVC shop rentals?
I have! Great company, they just don’t offer a cancellation policy like DVC Rental Store ☺️
Thank you so much. Finding your video allowed me to feel comfortable about being able to give my kid a Disney vacation.
