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.

  • 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.
