Hi Alanna!
Welcome home! And welcome to planDisney!
Thank you for visiting us with your question today. I love helping fellow
Disney Vacation Club Members plan the perfect vacation to Disney Destinations around the world! My family and I have been enjoying the flexibility of our membership for several years now. We just wish we had joined sooner!
It is not long now until you will be visiting The Most Magical Place on Earth, and it looks like a big family trip. How exciting! My family are staying at
Disney's Polynesian Villas and Bungalows for the first time later this year, and we are so excited! Alanna, Disney Vacation Club Members can book
cash reservations at DVC resorts for a discounted rate. The way it works is when a Member books something through an exchange, Disney rents out their Disney Vacation Club villa for cash to cover the cost of that exchange. That money then helps balance out the cost of the Member’s new stay. The great news is that sometimes this creates what’s called ‘cash availability’ at DVC Resorts – and that means Members can book a stay at a discounted cash rate!
The good news is, the Member booking the cash reservation does not need to be staying in the room, so you are able to book the room for your relatives. But these reservations are all based on availability at the time of booking. To find out more and to book, just
give Member Services a call, and a helpful Cast Member will be able to make the reservation where availability allows.
I hope this helps answer your question, Alanna. I wish you all the luck in the (Disney) world, and that you are successful booking the additional rooms at the Polynesian. If you have any further questions, please
reach out to me. I'd love to help!
Have a magical day,
Matt
