I'm new to this board and I'm looking for some advice about the best way to structure an ongoing search w/ RCI Points to get into DVC. My parents have very generously offered to use their points to try and exchange into DVC for the last 2 weeks of August (week 33 & 34). There will be 8 of us travelling (4 adults and 4 grandkids ages 5-14). Ideally, we'd love to get a 2 BR villa at The Wilderness Lodge for those 2 weeks, but realize that may not be possible so we'd be open to other DVC resorts as well. Our check-in dates are a little somewhat flexible (Thurs, Fri or Sat possibly even a Sunday check-in, but that would mean we may have to end our vacation a day early). I have an ongoing search set up for a 2BR for 8ppl for ANY Disney property for 8/13-2/29. I'm not sure I've structured the search correctly. After reading some others posts, I think this would only match 1 week max?? I think I need to do 2 of these searches, one for each week of our stay? Also, I would like a search(es) that would return a 1BR and a studio at the same property (our priority is staying an property at the same resort, but our rooms don't necessarily have to connect) as an option. Is this possible, can anyone provide assistance on how to do this? My parents have a cap of 240,000 points to use for this year, so opting for 2 weeks in 2 separate 1 bedrooms would put them over by 5,000 points even at the lower priced resorts. Is it possible to rent the point difference, and if so any idea how much 5,000 points would cost? They both retired in the last year , so they want to make this trip to Disney with their Grandkids a special one, as it will probably be their last time going there! I appreciate any help you can offer. TIA
Also, I should add that we'd be totally open to switching DVC resorts mid stay too.
