You want to book as far in advance as you can. It’s important to know that some DVC rooms, especially the cheapest ones, can and do sell out well in advance. If you can get the availability you want, you can save 50% on your Disney stay in Hawaii by renting points. If you paid cash, rates are most likely $600 per night for the same dates, or about $1,800.

The savings you can enjoy by staying on rented DVC points is pretty clear when the stars align. A quick check of a Saturday in May showed a standard room at Animal Kingdom Lodge starting at $518 and a standard villa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom – Jambo House (which is what you could rent with DVC points) was pricing at $488. That’s an all-in price with taxes and resort parking included. If you rent your points via David’s at $17 per point, that means each night would cost you $170 to $187 per night. Across DVC, rooms start at just 6 points per night and go as high as 227 points per night, so the cost spread is wide.Īs an example, a standard studio at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House will cost you 10 or 11 points per night for all of May 2019. The best way to use David’s Vacation Club Rentals, or any other similar site, is to first familiarize yourself with the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) points charts and the online availability search tools to learn how much something costs and whether it is likely to be available on your dates. The company’s profit lies in the difference. David’s Vacation Club Rentals pays a rate to the points owner (often $13.50 to $14.50 per point) and then charges more to the renter (often $17 to $18 per point). If an owner doesn’t plan to use their entire DVC points allotment for the year, they can make some or all of the points available for rent via a service like David’s.

You still get all of the perks of staying on-site with Disney without paying full Disney prices. These companies will link DVC point owners with prospective renters so they can spend less money when renting anything from a one-room studio to a three-bedroom villa.
There are some pretty big online companies that essentially act as the broker between owners of Disney Vacation Club points and those who want to rent them for a specific trip.
