Obviously, from a single family's standpoint, it means nothing to them. But as an example, we go to Disney twice a year. 1 week in January and 2 weeks in July. We have stayed Deluxe the past 5 years. However, since discovering the option of renting DVC points, I've gone with that option for both our trips this year, and will more than likely continue to do so. I wonder how Disney looks at this. They've scored about $5,000 to $6,000 a year off of us in resort stays the last 5 years. Now, we're not giving them anything. Of course, we're still spending money at the parks, but that only accounts for half of what we were spending with them a year.
Do you think they care? Do you suppose they will at some point start targeting families like us with better incentives to book through Disney, and do you think they will (or even can) initiate a policy in which renting points is no longer allowed?
