Using RCI exchange through the weeks side, I have stayed cheaply in past years at Walt Disney World Resorts in a 1 Bedroom Villa for 105K Wyndham Points + RCI exchange fee.
2X Disney's Beach Club Villas
1X Disney's Wilderness Resort Villas
1X Disney's Bay Lake Towers
1X Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort
It used to be very easy to find a variety of Disney properties even without an ongoing search.
I don't feel I was lucky either. However, I think there is a change in deposits and how RCI does exchange with inventory that they may have?
In the past, I would regularly see Disney's Vero Beach and Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort and Animal Kingdom Villas in addition to Disney's Saratoga Springs.
.
Last year, I even saw Aulani once listed on RCI - but it was for dates that were not appealing to me.
I think those days are gone... I only see Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort every time I go to RCI for exchange and it always seems available for various dates within a 6 month window.
I'm just saying, I think things have changed. It seems now the only way to possibly get matched for other properties is with an ongoing search.
I was wondering if others noticed this change too? If not, maybe something is not right with my RCI exchange account? I am not pulling up what I used to see. That's all.
