Yes I looked at a non holiday November week and 2BR unit was in the neighborhood of $6000-$10,000 per week through an owner vs $10,000-$15,000 through Disney. That is why I was warning about sticker shock if you aren't aware of the prices. That is why people get so excited about being able to exchange in through exchange companies like interval international.Was that a1000 dollars per night?

Grand Floridian has yet to be seen via II or RCI. Bay Lake has been seen in both (I think only studios since the switch back to II, but am not sure about that). This goes back a bit, but I exchanged into a 2BR Lake View at BLT for my kids' spring break one year via RCI. I suspect that would be much harder today--and maybe not possible.Can people get resorts like Bay Lake or Grand Floridian via II?

As always with exchange, the more flexible you are about season, resort, and unit size, the better your chances. But, that flexibility can be repaid with a stay that ends up costing a lot less than any other way you could do it. In II, my total exchange costs are around $1,400 for the week. I might be "stuck" with an SSR 1BR, but that's a screaming good deal compared to renting. At worst, it's about $8.80/point (a September Standard view), which is in the ballpark for DVC dues. In the season I usually go, it's more like $6.05, less than a DVC owner would pay in Dues, and for a week that I "adopted" for free rather than paying $20K for.
Certainly not in 2BR. There have been random reports of studios and 1BR in resorts like Bay Lake and Boardwalk Villas but not Grand Floridian. If Marjo is anything like me, she isn't looking to spend over $5000 for a 2BR for the ability to stay onsite so the nicer resorts are ridiculously out of reach and Old Key West and Saratoga Springs for less than $1500 all in, through interval is a super bargain.Can people get resorts like Bay Lake or Grand Floridian via II?
It seems that the vast majority of DVC inventory in II is studios at Old Key West and Saratoga Springs, and sometimes maybe Animal Kingdom Villas? Some 1BR units may be available in the lower seasons. But have people had consistent success with more, or is it just a selling point for Marriott salespeople?
