    Travel insurance for renting DVC points

    I sympathize so much. We lost $3800 and it was going to be our first time ever staying in a Deluxe resort. Disappointed is an understatement. We rescheduled (with not much hope of actually going) and yesterday was the day we were supposed to fly in. I have had a pit in my stomach since...

    Renting and Bringing Family

    Hi everyone, So we're bringing my brother-in-law and his family on our trip with us. But if COVID has taught me ANYTHING it's to expect the crappiest of unexpected things to happen. If: a.) My BIL's family arrives before us (we don't live near each other and are meeting there) can they...

    Travel insurance for renting DVC points

    Thank you. I'm trying hard to just accept it for what it is but it's been tough. It was a lot of money. The hardest part is that I've always been perfectly happy staying at one of our moderate resorts but we wanted to test out if a DVC resort was worth it as we've considered buying for a few...

    Renting DVC points questions:

    If we were going to rent DVC points again (which we won't after this horrible and disappointing experience) we would rent them directly from an owner, and preferably one we knew. There would at least maybe be a chance of switching the dates if needed. The cost of travel insurance that would...

    Travel insurance for renting DVC points

    I'm with the above...DON'T do it!! Our trip insurance doesn't cover it and EVEN IF OUR RESORT WAS CLOSED the company we used will not refund our money. I'm so sad and disappointed in the experience after all the rave reviews. This was our first time ever splurging on a deluxe resort and all I...

    Renting DVC Points during pandemic

    Yep we just learned that this week too. I keep trying to tell myself that maybe the person we rented from really needs the money and it's helping them out. I hope so. We're from NY so while we're open to the idea of a resort-only trip the travel down TO Florida with a 3 year old (we're...

    Renting DVC Points during pandemic

    Hmmm... We didn't use that company, we used another one and there wasn't any protection plan like that. Ugh, never could we have predicted this. Good luck to you too! Like not being able to go to WDW isn't bad enough. Losing all your money on top of it.

    Renting DVC Points during pandemic

    What is the points protection plan? When we rented I didn't hear anything about that. Were you able to get a response? I haven't emailed yet because I also figured they were working on current issues. Plus who knows what will happen in a few months. Our reservations are for August. I'm so sad...

    Awesome! Thanks so much! Fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong and the vacation goes off without a hitch. I REALLY want to try out this resort (DVC considering here) but ya just never know.

    Travel Insurance - Renting DVC Points

    Thanks. That all makes sense. We could change the name of others on the reservation though right? So if my MIL and FIL couldn't come, could we invite someone else to come instead (if we could find someone who could go last minute of course.) So it seems like it would be best either way to...

    Travel Insurance - Renting DVC Points

    Hi everyone! Looking for some help with Travel Insurance. I've never purchased TI independently and have always purchased through Disney. However, we've decided to try renting DVC points this year for the first time. We will be bringing along my MIL and step-father in law and will be...

    The Great FastPass Debate

    My niece (6) HATED it. And this was the girl who LOVED Splash Mountain and 7 Dwarves Mine Train. As an adult it was WAY faster than I expected. If you do it maybe make it an end of the trip ride?
