For my September 2024 trip to Walt Disney World, my friend and I wanted to add on a night--ideally on property, but the rack rates are always tough to swallow. The All Stars were around $200 after tax, and moderates were all $340+! We decided to browse around, and with this being a shorter notice decision figured a typical Disney Vacation Club rental would not work out. But luckily I stumbled into a single night for our exact date at Bay Lake Tower as a confirmed reservation we could purchase. I've had a lot of questions come through about renting DVC, and I genuinely think each company varies a tad. But now that I've done this experience, I'm happy to share with you the process for purchasing a confirmed DVC reservation through DVC-Rental.com.
If you have any questions, leave those in the comments down below and I'll do my best to get back to you! Apologies if my responses are delayed; it always takes me a while to get unburied from work after I take time off for travel. Thanks so much for watching this video, liking the video, subscribing to the channel, turning on notifications, and sharing with friends who may be interested in the topic. And big ups to Judy for being a monthly supporter over on my Ko-Fi. xoxo, Jacqueline
