- Purchasing Hyatt Kaanapali
My Mom is a new timeshare owner (Hyatt Maui), a 2 bedroom, 2200 points, floating odd year deeded contract. We won’t be using 2025 as we just came back and already have my family’s ‘big’ one time WDW trip planned for next Thanksgiving, so my question is: should I just recommend that she rent her 2025 Hyatt Kaanapali Beach week for cash (estimating $6k-7k (and possibly higher but not guaranteed), or should we attempt to exchange this for a DVC exchange?
If the latter, I’d love a ‘how to’ from anyone who’s done this successfully. She just closed so we haven’t secured our 2025 week yet, but I’m guessing we’d try for thanksgiving week when the window opens, but don’t really know how this all works.
My original plan for WDW was to book a DVC studio at the Boardwalk Villas by renting points via David’s (or similar) at the 11th month mark (this Dec). Approx. $3300 for 7 nights in a BVC studio, or $6800 in a one bedroom.
My Mom wants me to first see about the possibility of exchanging into DVC so we get more room (ie. A one or two bedroom).
I have no interest in staying at Sarasota or Old Key West, which I understand are very achievable, but I would consider pivoting away from a Boardwalk Villas studio if we could get a one or two bedroom at AKL.
