When there is no retreat, the potential will be exerted.

So, you rent the points, the DVC member books the room for you (and ostensibly adds the dining plan if you want): do you pay the DVC member back for the dining plan? How do you set up the magical express? I'm really interested in this for our next trip!

Stephanie asked about tickets and Matt answered, "Buy tickets through undercover tourist and link those. The member will have to add the dining plan for you but most will. This has to be done 2 weeks before your trip."

My question is, what tickets? Tickets for what? And what is "undercover tourist?" Renting points, even though I'm a DVC member, might be the only way my family could ever afford to stay at the Polynesian, for example, so I'm interested in learning all the nitty-gritty about this. Thanks!

If you rent the points, can you link this to your My Disney Experience? Also how do you add the dining plan and tickets to your reservations?

You will get a reservation number from the member who books your room for you. You link that to MDE. Buy tickets through undercover tourist and link those. The member will have to add the dining plan for you but most will. This has to be done 2 weeks before your trip.

Do you get all the same perks staying at the resorts with rental points? Transportation, extra majic hours etc? How about adding a dining plan to the same visit?

You get the same perks except you do not get regular maid service. You get the trash and towel service that DVC members get.

That was covered in the article, page 2

These questions are answered in the article, please read it once again, or maybe for the first time.

What happens if you need to cancel your trip due to unseen circumstances?

In reply to by Carrie T (not verified)

Unlike reserving through Disney, with renting DVC points, there is no refund if you need to cancel.
