Getting to the start
Buses run to the races from Disney’s resort hotels, and the DVC resorts are Disney resort hotels, so a rented villa counts.
Booking a rental for race weekend
- Match the nights. A confirmed reservation is for the nights listed, so check it covers every night in the table for your race.
- Weigh the cancellation terms. Disney refunds a room-only booking’s deposit if you cancel at least 8 days before arrival. A rental’s terms are the broker’s. Sales at DVC Shop are final. If there’s a real chance you won’t run, that matters more than the price.
- Compare with Disney. Every stay above shows Disney’s published price for the same villa and nights, tax included.
