A Bouquet of DVC Deals & A New Tool for You!

Share This!

Your best Disney-enabler friends are back with some good news and good deals! So grab your mouse, limber up your clicker hand, and…

Be sure to keep reading for information on a new regular resource here at Touring Plans for subscribers…

First, you may recall, back in December we posted about some nice studio rentals at Boulder Ridge Villas. In October we were Sailing the 7 DVCs – and amazingly, some of the deals from each of those posts are still out there!

Taking Care of Business

Before we move on, I’d like to add the usual DVC rental reminder: Any deals you see here are one-off rentals, so any of them might be booked and gone at any time. Also, all of the starting dates are links to the original rental sites’ listing so you can investigate them further.

A Bouquet… of <insert end of metaphor here>

This month I’d like to pluck a few of the more impressive DVC rentals out there from the bouquet of… (I didn’t think this metaphor through when I started it) ..umm, deals(?)

Anyway, while deciding what exactly is a good value is certainly subjective, I don’t think many can argue against the four rentals below being strong contenders of goodness. Of course, you’ll have to get on your bike and start pedaling furiously if you want to catch that Hilton Head 2-Bedroom Villa by this weekend.

If your family is like mine, a $593 room feels pretty bougie. (Did I use that one right, kids?)

But when you compare it to the $1,185 median price of all the dedicated DVC rentals we’ve seen for that room type at Boulder Ridge, plus the fact that your family will have multiple rooms to collapse in after your 12,000 sweaty steps in the parks, I’m thinking even I might want some bougie nights.

Shoulder Season Deals?

With all of the crowds at the parks the last year or so, it may be humerus to you that there might still be a less than bustling season at Walt Disney World.

Well, this nice batch of Saratoga Springs and Old Key West studio rentals out in September, several as low as $198 per night, sure look like a nice opportunity to find out if post-summer dates might be ones to try out.

The Surprise Reveal

Now that we’ve pointed out some of the interesting DVC rentals hand-picked (Ahh, there’s that metaphor again) for your perusal, there’s one more thing we’d like to show you:

Touring Plans subscribers can visit the new Disney Vacation Club Rentals Deals page on our site to see a larger weekly curated list of interesting rentals we have found for you. You’ll see all of those rentals above and more – all clickety-clickable with that limbered up mousing hand you’ve got there. For now we’re including deals that fall about 25% or more below the median dedicated rental prices we’ve seen for each room type – along with any others that really stand out to us for their timing or desirability.

Don’t worry – we’ll still publish blog posts for everyone to catch up on hotel deals of all kinds (especially because I have all of these unfinished metaphors I need to get out of my head.)

For example on the inaugural DVC Rental listing we included…
In this batch of rentals, we have 2 clear favorites.

This Week’s Favorites

A 3-night booking for an Aulani 1 Bedroom Villa starting on January 24th. It is going for $315 per night, which is a WHOPPING 68.5% below the median of $1,000 we’ve seen for similar rentals.

Disney's Aulani Resort

Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort
The other is the decidedly easier to use 2-night booking for a preferred 2 Bedroom Villa at Saratoga Springs Resort starting on January 30th. That room is going for $570 per night, which is about 30% below the median of $814 from rentals we’ve recorded.

If you’re not already a Touring Plans subscriber, there are so many resources I’m sure you’d find interesting in addition to the new Select DVC Rentals page –
