Well, I think there are many more locations that I would trade into, other than just Maui.

We have a week at Marriott's Crystal Shores, Marco Island, for mid-January, which is very valuable. It took a 2 bedroom Marriott to get it. I think that would be a decent trade for a Disney reservation.

Marriott resorts command high rental rates, generally. I am glad I don't have to pay to rent a 2 bedroom anywhere.

Maui was an example but truly equivalent trades even within Marriott are limited. Some resorts and weeks rent for high amounts but most don’t compared to DVC.

I think the best way to do this is by renting. That way it is a fair exchange.

The rub is that most TUGgers don't want a fair exchange. They want a good deal.
Exactly. They also have a sense of fairness that does not fit into this equation for example two bedroom for two bedroom.
