Booking suites using DVC points?

Hello all,

We are thinking about using our points to travel to DL vs WDW this summer. Do you know if you are able to book suites at any of the DL hotels using DVC points? We will be traveling with 3 adults and 2 kids. We are hoping to stay at the Grand Californian if possible. Any ideas on how many points per night the suites would be? I don't see the suites specifically listed in the DVC planner. Thanks so much for any help and guidance.

Danelle

I'm not aware that you can book suites at those hotels. If they're not listed on the DVC planner, then I would assume that they're not available.

and it would probably be an obscene amount of points!

Mine was 329 for 7/2-7/7 at the Grand Californian(concierge)

We just called member services and we are booked for 6/14/09-6/19/09, Grand Californian Concierge. One queen size bed, bunk beds, and a trundle which should be perfect for us

Ah, let me tell ya that you CAN use your DVC points at any of the 3 DLR hotels. My DW and I have used our points for 2 stays at the GCR, Concierge Level and 2 stays at the DLH, Standard View. If you look on the DVC web site you will see that all 3 of the hotels are listed but under The Disney Collection heading. You can also view all of the points for these hotels. Click on the following link:

and then sign in, then go to View Vaction Points Chart and look for The DISNEY COLLECTION. Hope this answers your questions.

There are "Suites" also at the DLH that are not listed on the points chart. Last summer we stayed 3 nights in a 'suite' - it is an older suite but it gave us a bedroom with 2 queens, a separate living room with a pullout. It had a wet bar with fridge and sink (no microwave). It also had 1 1/2 bathrooms.

We have also stayed at the Grand California concierge - it was nice and it was off season so we partook more of the hospitatlity suite than we may have if it was summer. They have a great view of the fireworks and the music is pipied in. They have milk & warm cookies (hmmm) for the kids (oh boy was I a kid that night) and wine/beer/coffees for the adults.

Have a great time
