Yet another DVC question

[pocahontas79]

First of all I want to say I have been given some great information from many people in this forum about the DVC. Thanks for that:animwink:

I do have another question. I am looking into renting and buying points off of a DVC member and I have looked into the Disboards for this. Is there any other costs involved besides what the specific DVC member is asking for points? So in other words, does the hotel charge any extra fees at checkin? I thought I had read something somewhere about some other fees and I wonder if this is true. Thanks in advance!:wave:

After you purchase your ownership interest, you will also be responsible for paying your annual membership dues and tax assessments. The taxes are your share of the property taxes on the real estate interest that you own. The dues are for the maintenance and upkeep of the resort. They are due on an annual basis, and the bills are sent out in January.

Also, I believe that your purchase price will be more than simply the asking price from the seller. As with all real estate transactions, there are all sorts of taxes and fees, if I recall correctly.

Another place you may want to check out is www.dvcbyresale.com, which is a sponsor of a couple of other Disney sites (but not this one).

With DVC you do not get daily mousekeeping. I think they come on Day 4. If you'd like them to come daily, there is an extra fee.

I also vaguely remember something about a fee for extra towels.

Was that the kind of extra cost you were wondering about?

Any DVC members out there to confirm this?

Are you talking about buying points off someone for one specific trip or are you buying a whole point package from someone?

If you are talking about renting points from a DVC member for one trip (for example 150 points one time) then there is no extra charge, unless you opt to pay for maid service and or extra towls. If you are there for over 8 days you will get a full cleaning on the 4th day I belive.


There is no tax. You might want to allow for tips.

Have a great time.


You may want to give the frount desk you CC so you can charge to the room.

One thing I love about DVC is the Zero room charge at check out.

Yes I was talking about fees after using points from a DVC member. You all answered my question in one way or another, Thanks!:wave:
