If you are wanting to stay 10 days, once I had my exchange through RCI booked for 7 nights and I knew which DVC resort I'm staying at - I'd either rent the extra three nights I needed from a DVC member or I'd book it directly with Disney with a discount code. September usually has plenty of discount codes on rooms. You can find current Disney discounts on www.mousesavers.com.

Good luck! Let us know which resort you end up with. :)
Price to rent 1bdrm 3 days in Sept from DVC member would be $1200 on avg -- better value to use HGVC points, (~$680 in MFS + $209 RCI fee + $95 DVC fee = $975). Rack rate would average $496/night in Sept. With 35% discount (which is "up to 35%") you would be around same price.

If they rent points for a one bedroom at Old Key West (one of the more common resorts to see in RCI for exchange), I was figuring 21 to 26 points a night at around $10.00 a point so roughly $680 for the three nights. I'm a bargain shopper, though. ;) Or they might want to do a split stay and stay at one of the regular Disney hotels with the free dining deals that are always offered in the month of September.

If they are adding on to an OGS with Friday checkin, it would be two weekend nights + one weekday night, so 73 pts x $14/pt (standard rental rate) = $1022. They may be able to find lower point rentals on DISboards directly, but usually discounted points are for reservations within 4 months (people facing losing their points).

I'm on the mailing list for The Timeshare Store DVC reseller and they rent DVC points for $12.00 a point (non-distressed) and $8.00 a point for distressed points, but those can only be used at Saratoga typically. I'm not sure if some of the other DVC resellers rent points or not, but I know the Timeshare Store does.

Good to know! Do you deal with Timeshare store or the owner of the points?

You deal directly with the Timeshare Store through e-mail.

Just an FYI about weather. The first part of September is very hot and humid. Being from southern Arizona we find it nearly unbearable. Now that we are free of scheduling restraints we will probably not return in September even though we have gone the second week after Labor Day many times in the past.
