We're looking to travel as a family/group of 9 (6 adults, 2 toddlers, 1 infant) in May '23. After a lot of research we are really set on securing a Grand Villa so we can all stay together yet each set of adults would have their own bedroom. We have our hearts set on the MK area (GF specifically) but as we are not DVC members we know it may be tough to get a 3 bedroom villa.
I've been in touch with a Disney TA who could book us at the Riviera for what I thought was an incredibly high price, and possibly have us moved if anything else opened up, but the Riviera is definitely not near the top of our list (fears of heights = no skyliner for us). Am I right in saying that our best bet is to use an agency to rent DVC points? We aren't concerned about cancelling due to COVID but we did have to cancel a very big vacation years ago as there was a tragic accident in our family (luckily the trip was fully insured), and from what I'm reading people don't seem to have much luck with DVC rental insurance....
Any tips? Is DVC rental really the way to go for us? Just try to do our best to find a good cancellation/insurance policy?
