I've exchanged via RCI into DVC Boardwalk Villas and enjoyed it very much. I wonder why availability for DVC is now mostly limited to Saratoga Springs? Any thoughts please?
The cynical side of me says it's mostly Disney's doing to make buying into DVC more attractive for the prices they charge.

They're simply holding back allowing members to book then looking where best to use up the points they have to give RCI. There was a time when DVC members exchanging had to give up home resort.I've exchanged via RCI into DVC Boardwalk Villas and enjoyed it very much.

No, you would only be eligible for perks that you would get staying non-DVC.If you booked through RCI to DVC are you considered a DVC member as far as perks are concerned? I've read about the discounts available for DVC members like pool hopping and I have a dvc # for booking purposes. So in the eyes of Disney, am I considered a DVC member for my stay at Sarasota Springs?
Thanks Dean!No, you would only be eligible for perks that you would get staying non-DVC.
You will get whatever was deposited. Once you have the DVC confirmation number you can ask them directly but RCI won’t be able to tell you.Does anyone know if you book SSR thru RCI is it for standard or preferred ?
Agreeing with Dean, above, it depends on what was deposited.Does anyone know if you book SSR thru RCI is it for standard or preferred ?
This a different sense of "preferred," and you are probably right about what it means when you see it. The DVC sense of "preferred" is which neighborhood the deposit is drawn from. Preferred units are in either Congress Park or Springs. Standard units are in one of Paddock, Carousel, or Grandstand. RCI will tell you they don't know where the deposit is drawn from. In principle, it might be *possible* they could---the unit codes suggest to me that DVC could label them as one or the other. For example, 14U is presumably a Standard Sunday 1BR, while 1PU is presumably a Preferred Sunday 1BR. But either DVC doesn't actually use the *P* codes, or RCI VCs can't see them.What's the difference in standard vs preferred? I see preferred units through my Welk ownership but I've never been to SSR. I thought the "preffered" icon just meant I was seeing the unit before other RCI members.

I'd suggest: GRAB IT.We have an upcoming stay in a studio at ssr in a few weeks for our 1st time....but we could like to go back to WDW before our ap expires at end of Feb. Unsure if I should grab a 1bdrm thru rci as I haven't stayed before or if I'd be happier at another rci like HGVC.....it will be just hubby and I in feb
