Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm using my points for the very first time to stay at Disney's Wilderness Lodge in the Copper Creek Villas which I've never seen that before and I'm so excited

I've teamed up with this company called world of DVC who are the DVC experts because I'm still new I bought in 2021 and there's still a lot I have to learn

if you're going to be booking this rack rate through Disney this would cost you four thousand and seventy two dollars and 52 cents for that week however if you're going to be booking this room through DVC rental store this will cost you 2508

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book DVC rentals 7 to 11 months in advance for better availability
βœ“Use DVC rental store to save money on deluxe resort stays
βœ“Check the hotel room view before booking to ensure it meets expectations

Understanding DVC points system β€” DVC is a timeshare where you buy a contract for points to use for stays; points vary by room size and season
Availability of DVC rooms β€” Book 7 to 11 months in advance for better availability; closer to stay date, availability is harder to get
