RedWeek presents access to 600 Disney Vacation Club rentals, offers reduced rates

I have fond memories of going to Disney as a wee tot back in the day. My grandma took my cousin and I there once and each character we saw, we ran up to them asking for their autograph. We were kids so we didn’t consider an actual person was inside. Walt Disney World Resort recently celebrated their 50th birthday on October 1. Thousands of families are visiting so expect a packed park over the next year. To save you a lot of money on your trip, check out RedWeek, the world’s leading timeshare rental marketplace. Think of it as a way to get you to the “Magical Place on Earth”.

RedWeek is making 600 Disney Vacation Club rentals accessible to travelers and offering them reduced-by-owner prices. Here’s how it works: by renting from an owner, you can save 30-50% on resort rack fees. This gives more flexibility and lower price-points than anywhere else.

“These DVC vacation rentals are vacations booked by DVC owners, and all are offered at unbelievable discounts compared to retail (rack) rates,” said Gary Prado, Vice President, Business Development at RedWeek in a press release. “In many instances, the resorts are sold out during the periods we have inventory – and it gives RedWeek members the opportunity to enjoy the magic of Disney and greatly reduced rates.”

The inventory of Disney Vacation Club rentals offers a variety of stay options from 2-3 night stays up to 7 nights. One bonus for staying at Disney, besides the new roller coasters at Epcot and Magic Kingdom, fireworks, and limited-edition merchandise, is guests get 30 minutes early entry to all 4 Disney theme parks every day.

“After being closed for four months in 2020, Disney World vacations are back in demand,” Prado said. “Now that COVID-19 vaccines are widely available for kids over 12 (and are on the horizon for 5–11-year-old children, too), families are feeling more comfortable and eager to plan a return to the Magic Kingdom. Disney resorts have always been among RedWeek’s most requested resorts, which has meant they are often in short supply. Adding these 500+ rentals to our inventory is a major boon for Disney fans hoping to make it to Orlando soon.”
