Revolutionizing Your Journey: Travel With Points & Miles

The Ultimate Guide to Saving on your next Disney Trip with Chelsea of @pixiepointgals (Ep. 76)

Listen Later

Planning a Disney trip and want to save big without sacrificing comfort?

In this episode of Revolutionizing Your Journey, host DeAndre Coke sits down with Chelsea from Pixie Point Gals to uncover the real magic behind using the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) and travel points to experience Disney like never before. Chelsea breaks down how families can rent DVC points—even without a membership—and stay at deluxe Disney resorts for a fraction of the price. They talk about the perks of staying on-property, tips for adults visiting Disney, and clever hacks like relocating food between resorts.

From avoiding scams to maximizing credit card points, this episode is packed with practical advice and insider tricks for both Disney lovers and travel hackers alike.

 

Key Highlights:

  • DVC explained: The Disney Vacation Club operates on a point system that differs from traditional timeshares.
  • Renting advantage: Renting DVC points can save up to 50% on high-end resort stays—even for non-members.
  • Booking flexibility: Being open to travel dates and resorts helps unlock better deals and availability.
  • Adult Disney tips: High-end resorts like the Riviera and experiences like Epcot’s “drink around the world” cater to adults.
  • On-property perks: Early park entry, free transportation, and deluxe amenities make staying on-site worthwhile.
  • Points strategy: Combining DVC rentals with travel credit card points furthers savings.
  • Avoiding scams: Booking through verified DVC rental sites helps ensure a smooth and secure experience.
  • Enhancing the trip: Small tricks like having Disney relocate luggage (and even food) between resorts can elevate the magic.
