What resort fees, extra charges, etc, does Disney add, if we give our points to RCI to get a reservation there?
thanks

The RCI fee for the reservation is $230. Once you arrive, Disney charges you $190 fee on top of that. That is up from $95 last year.

Sometimes the points for an RCI exchange are less than a comparable unit directly through Wyndham. We have an upcoming RCI exchange at SSR in March that cost 105k points. At Bonnet Creek, a 1br the same week is 166k points. That's close to a wash with the Disney fees, and the free transportation/parking (we don't have annual passes so we'd have to pay for parking if we stayed at BC) gives Disney the win for us. But that will vary by week/season - I'm sure it could go the other way at other times of year.
