RCI - Good or Bad??

[mrbren79]

Has anyone had good or bad luck with the RCI trades? How are the resorts? And how is the availability?

I just used RCI for a reservation .. I used a non-Disney trade -- It was a bit complicated but
the service was ok .. But you do get hit with the RCI fee .. Does anyone know of using RCI points at Disney ??

Can I ask, how was the quality of the resort? Was it worth the points? Or was it cheesy compared to DVC?

Having been trying to book a non-Disney resort for over two years, have not been able to so far. Under a week I hear is not going to happen.

I belonged to RCI through a different timeshare. We did stay in Orlando one time with it as we traded out for a resort there, non-Disney. But for the most part we had a hard time getting the better resorts in the prime locations and finally got rid of it. It sounds like a good deal but when all the good locations are always booked it didn't turn out that way.

Really, its immposible to find a resort through RCI. So, don't count on a good resort through them, huh. Good to know, I'm thinking of buying into DVC, but this sounds like a real negative. I'm surprised Disney would keep it , if it's that bad.
