Subscriber Benefit: DVC Rental Deals Page
Happy New Year! Did you wake up this morning thinking, boy, I sure could use some great Disney room rates to keep this fresh start of a year rolling into positive territory?
I did.
Did you also wake up wondering who ate all of the chocolate covered cherries evidenced by the wrappers surrounding your New Year’s Eve sofa spot?
Just me?
Well, while I ponder that seemingly eternal question, I’d like to point out a terrific benefit we here at Touring Plans Labs (just made that up) started providing to subscribers last year: the Disney Vacation Club Rental Deals page.
Quick Back Story
If you are a regular reader of the the Touring Plans blog, you may recall my Disney Vacation Club rental origin story in DVC You There! At that time I described the start of my rental data project and the deal-finding possibilities that might arise from tracking dedicated DVC rentals.
Since that time the project has grown from a mere 1,531 rentals to over 25,000.
How does this help you?
Good question! Keep them coming!
At any given time, there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,000 dedicated DVC rentals listed on various sites. Sometimes a lot more!
Sure, you can visit each of these sites and search through them looking for good deals. But do you always have extra time? (If you do, can I have some?)
But, what, you might ask yourself, IS a good deal?
Another good question. We’re so proud of you.
Well, Touring Plans provides a hand-picked listing of the better dedicated rentals and updates it weekly.
How do we know these are “better?”
In the course of the project I am tracking prices over time and crunching all the numbers to find the median price of rentals for each resort and room type. Out of the thousands of rentals we’re picking out those coming in 20% or more under median for that room as well as other unique rentals that we think would be interesting to subscribers.
We’re providing this curated listing to help you find the most exciting deals with just a few clicks.
For example, looking at last week’s update you can see you could have booked a Hilton Head 3 Bedroom Villa for $432 per night, which is a wonderful 60% under the median for this room. Or a Saratoga Springs studio for $204, which is 31% under median price.
We like saving money.
We like saving time.
This list will help subscribers do both and we love that.
You can find the DVC Rental Deals Page here.
If you are not yet a Touring Plans subscriber and would like to become one, you can visit here to sign up and get in on the savings too.
If you’ve found any exciting DVC rentals and would like to share, feel free to post them in the comments!
