I’m not sure if this is the correct spot?

But I am thinking about renting DVC points for our Disneyland vacation next May. Does anyone have any recommendations where to start???

Just keep in mind that there is only one DVC resort in California, and it is small - so just because you get the points you need, you might not find the reservation. Renting points should work well for Disney World except at the peak times.

I have used David's for several reservations (at WDW). Works well, knowledgeable staff. But I also concur with SabresFan, you will have to get your request in early because getting a reservation at the GC in DL is probably really tough...

Cheers!

How early can I book my reservation?
As per DVC rules an Owner can book a reservation at a DVC Resort a maximum of 11 months in advance. Click here for a quick guideline. Reservations booked from 7 to 11 months in advance may be subject to an additional premium rate of $1.00 US per point.

Can I cancel a reservation?
No. Due to the complexity of banking and borrowing points, cancellations, upgrades and date modifications are not permitted. You may explore the possibilities of adding Travel Insurance to protect yourself against unexpected situations. I do not provide this insurance, but you can obtain a very reasonable quote here: Travel Insurance Quote

Can I get daily housekeeping?
Trash and Towel service is included in all stays of more than four days. If your stay is for less than eight nights, you will receive Trash & Towel service on day four. If your stay is for eight nights or longer, you will receive a full cleaning service on day four, and Trash & Towel service on day eight. After that, the cycle begins again on day twelve. Day one is check-in day. Daily housekeeping can be arranged and paid for at time of check-in. The following rates are subject to change:

Additional Full Cleaning Rates:
Studio - $30.00 for each day requested
One-Bedroom - $45.00 for each day requested
Two-Bedroom - $60.00 for each day requested
Three-Bedroom - $75.00 for each day requested

Additional Trash & Towel Rates:
Studio - $10.00 for each day requested
One-Bedroom - $15.00 for each day requested
Two-Bedroom - $20.00 for each day requested
Three-Bedroom - $30.00 for each day requested

Most rentals share the "no refunds for cancellations" policy, so that is critical for newbies to understand. There are trade-offs for the lower rate. For CA, you would probably need to book at 11 months out (so may already be too late), assuming you can find an owner with points to rent.

10 Months in Advance (or earlier)
At 10 months (or earlier) in advance of your check in date, we recommend reserving any of the following rooms:

The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel *
  • Studio
  • 1 Bedroom
  • 2 Bedroom
* These resorts are subject to premium rates
