    Ahh - nice find - for each park. Gotcha. Different parks are A-OK then! Great!

    2023 Moonlight Magic Dates

    I had a great time at the Epcot MM last week. So much so that the family wants to try to hit the AK one in August. I just booked my resort for the stay covering 8/2. I haven't come across any rule that restricts the number of MM events you can attend per year. Is there any restriction aside...

    2023 Moonlight Magic Dates

    They randomize the queue at 11am so it doesn't give you a better place in line to enter the lobby very early

    2023 Moonlight Magic Dates

    I received an email with a link for the MM at Epcot last week. I used that link and patiently waited in the queue - took about 90 minutes total to complete the early registration. Fairly easy when you have decent internet

    Sept 2022 DVC Direct Sales

    What do you mean "can offer an extra set of points" with RIV?

    Last day for current direct incentives

    The VGF incentive drop is only 1-3 dollars pp depending on the amount of points, not sure about the others.

    Sept 2022 DVC Direct Sales

    Surprises me that people would say they arent in love with the Resort Studios bc as a family of 5, having 2 real beds in a studio is pretty attractive (my kids are not huge fans of the pullouts/murphy beds). Considering the resale point value of VGF are only on average $20-$30 cheaper than the...

    Riviera Pricing Released

    That's is the key I think. If the reviews of the gondolas come back positive and they are seen as a good form of transport, I would imagine the demand would go up. Its the same thought of exclusivity as the Monorail resorts. It is the only DVC with gondola access to 2 theme parks. I mean, if...

    Purchased Riviera

    Pretty sure its a 50 year contract, so I would think 2069. Im also curious how you get it down to 170 pp vs the advertised 188.

    Help me understand what's available on this contract (banked points, etc)

    My understanding is that once you bank the 2018 points, you can not use them in the current year. Those 200 banked points will only be available from Oct 2019 - Sept. 2020. However, you could borrow some (or all) of the 200 2019 UY points and use those for a trip in Sept along with the 51...

    Changing resort with Dining Plan already purchased

    I can confirm this is the case. I had a waitlist come through for our last visit in Feb. The waitlist canceled the original reservation and the Disney Dining Plan with it. I was refunded in about 48 hours and just bought the dining plan under the new reservation. The Dining Plan was the...

    Adding on Point Question

    If you're willing to be patient, I think you could find what you want, but smaller contracts do tend to cost more per point on the resale market. Still, there could be savings to be had. OKW is the cheapest direct you listed at around $151 I'm fairly certain you could find contracts at all 3...

    I think it depends on your broker. We worked with Shontell from DVC by Resale. She was very thorough and very quick with communication. I know some brokers do not have the same timeliness with their communication. I also think we just got lucky that they got to ours so quickly from when we...

    Same, hate the 2042 expiration, but that's why the price per point is low. Saving $20-25 per point over AKL and loving it there when we stayed last month made us pull the trigger. Haven't seen many BRV contracts on this list over the last 3-6 months, so not sure what to expect.

    OKW direct

    I did some rough math previously around AKL direct vs. resale. The only perk that will really earn back the money you spend on direct is the discounted AP and/or the ability to buy a gold AP. The cost difference between a Platinum AP and a Gold AP is about $250. For your situation, to make...

    I noticed the same and sent a few offers for BRV out... Haven't really seen too many BRV contracts sold either tbh. Hopeful, to be adding on soon
