Not sure if it is accurate but have found an DVC availability checker.

It is keeping me occupied in between email checking

ok, I'm totally not getting any work done for the rest of the day

He called wasn’t Us

How annoying, hope you hear soon!

I really don't understand how contracts that were submitted like 8 days after ours have passed already....super happy for those that did.....but this is like TORTURE!....sent 1/10! Come on ***! This is getting to be like a support group!

 

[Disneykate605]

I start following at like 8am...and I'm not even waiting for a contract or in the market for more.

Me too!

 

[sndral]

I only follow when I'm in the market or have one pending or to linger a bit afterwards to give encouragement to those still waiting. I find if I follow during the 'in between' times I have too much of an urge to add on, so it helps my self control to avoid this thread when I'm not in the market or buying

I should take this advice. But really, is it THAT bad if I accidentally add on more points

I know exactly how you feel. Mine was submitted 1/9, and I am seeing things from a week later!!! Just makes me even more sure my contract will be taken... Sigh...

What?!? I thought you were a BCV man through and through? Be honest, it was the creepy clown pool that did it for you!!! Welcome to the “other side” of the lake.

Make no mistake -- BWV is not high on my list of favorite resorts.

This contract is for my parents. For some reason my dad loves BWV more than BCV (although he's never stayed at BCV -- not even sure if he's walked through it much). Since it's their money, I'm not going to argue with them. I know he kept eyeing those 10 point studio rooms, but I told him to not even think about getting those often since they aren't exactly computer literate (and I don't think I want to be the one booking all of their DVC vacations -- although it will probably end up being that way).

They also liked that BWV is $15 to $25 per point cheaper on the initial outlay -- and they don't really care about the pool at all, so SAB has no draw for them. I've got my 50 BCV points, so I'm good for my F&W trips 2 out of 3 years -- so long as they don't **** with the point charts again too much.

Are you waiting on AKV or BLT? Your string says BLT and the $105 is throwing me off

 

[kboo]

We own at both and love both. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with either. We’ll be staying at VGF this spring and BLT next year. I think BLT is underrated which is why we own so many points there too. Good luck with ROFR. I hope this one makes it through for you.

I have to agree especially after a five day no park trip. One of the few resorts with easy access to other resorts. So many places to just sit back and relax. The food options. TOTWL not only a nice place to watch the fireworks but a nice spot to watch the sunset.

You all are making me want to add more BLT... We own at both and love both for different reasons. 2018 was 2 BLT stays, 2019 will be 2 VGF stays (plus a short BLT trip)... so much for our plan of going once a year and alternating BLT and VGF stays!!

I start following at like 8am...and I'm not even waiting for a contract or in the market for more.

Me too. It's like visiting the Dis/DVC coffee shop and seeing all the regulars, and cheering you all on vicariously.

Edited to add: It's not just the social aspect - I'm watching to see what passes and what doesn't since we will add on to BLT sometime in the next 12 months. DH just doesn't know it yet.

I can barely believe it- just got the email! Passed!! SO beyond excited!!

GREAT price!! Congratulations, and welcome home!

This is the worst I just keep watching our backups fall.

More will come up... there are a LOT of points out there!

With your dad buying 200 BWV points, I’m guessing you’ll be staying at BWV with them sometimes. You’ll be converted to the dark side. BWV is closer to SWL:GE, so the metaphor seems appropriate.

I am waiting on AKV at $105 per point for 100 points. I am not sure what I did to put it in wrong the first time and I forget to try to fix it when I am at home (and the link for the tool is blocked on my work computer).

Whenever we were dating, my DH used to say “It’s easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.” Little did he know I would use that against him when putting in offers on DVC points. Hahaha.

Ah. The $105pp for BLT had us all confused. Still a great price for AKV. I hope it passes for you!
