My parents own a summer week in one of the log cabins at Bent Creek Golf Village in Gatlinburg, TN. For the past 20+ years they have used their week at their home resort except for 1 year when they traded via RCI. That trade was in 2001, so it has been so long our memory is fuzzy with details. Plus, the exchange was during 9/11, so I’m not sure anything about it would be typical. Anyway, my mom is wondering if she can exchange it for a Disney Resort via RCI. I know Disney trades via RCI, but do Disney owners actually deposit any weeks into RCI? If so, are there typically any 2 bedroom units available? Is there a way to know before depositing into RCI if your deposit is strong enough to match with Disney 2-bedroom unit? Does RCI offer a “request first” option similar to II? She would be looking for fall break week which for us is the 1st week of October (not this year). I usually book Marriott or Vistana via II getaways for <$300/wk, so she is not interested in exchanging for anything other than Disney.
If it matters, her home resort is now managed (owned?) by Diamond and she owns a deeded week. I think—and I stress think—she exchanged with points in 2001 when Bent Creek was owned by Sunterra. But, after reading posts on here, maybe it was TPU. If she told me a number, I would have just assumed points, since my experience is with II.
