    Walking Why ?

    Unfortunately, I think that warnings of walking are causing walking! I own at BCV, and thankfully have never seen ever evidence of it there. Obviously, rooms are hard to get at 7 months, but there's never been any problem waiting for a few days after 11 months (or a few weeks at most times of...

    Would Swapped Points Go Into Holding?

    Thank you. We'll just have to hope that we pass quickly then! I was hoping that it would be the same as changing other details as the number of points wouldn't change. I doubt we'd get pixie dust with another resale contract. :-)

    Would Swapped Points Go Into Holding?

    I might be over thinking this, but if we exchange points on a booking to those from a different contract within 31 days, could it cause the original points to go into holding? We currently have a contract in ROFR that has banked points. We also have a booking in a few months that we would like...

    ROFR Thread January to March 2024 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

    It's more likely that they agreed on a total figure, rather than a price per point, eg the seller wanted $22,000.

    Spam popups

    I've actually had the chrome problem (the same one robinb reported) prior to today but it was previously only occurring every 20 minutes and lasted for a couple of days. It's now made the site unusable on there for me (both on windows laptop and iPad), but fortunately it's working on Safari so far!

    Thoughts on resale via Fidelity?

    Mine also replied to me well before 9 am when I had a query. I have a very good experience with them so far this time.

    DVC purchase

    As a BCV owner I've never seen this. Of course, some times of year are more popular than others but I've never noticed any evidence of 11 month walking causing a problem and have never felt the need to be ready the moment booking opens. Checking availability tables seems to confirm this too...

    Latest Room Request Strategy

    Unfortunately, I can't link the map of the rooms, but I think it's rooms ending 25, 27, 29, 31 and 33. I was on the 4th floor which had a good balcony. I'm not sure what they're like on the other floors.

    International seller

    We were put with Nancy Carpenter who insisted that we went to the US embassy. It was not only difficult to get an appointment but was a waste of a lot of time! As far as I'm aware, the other agents are happy for it to be done via a notary public. Even the embassy advises on their site not to...

    Latest Room Request Strategy

    Last time we were in room 429 and I'd happily be in that area again. We had a large, peaceful balcony that looked over the woods, although the only bit of Epcot we could see was the Eiffel Tower.

    Rent or sell

    I own at (removed the details of resort) I have started renting my points via social media which easily gets me $23 per point at the current rate, giving me over $14 per point per year after annual dues. If I put them with a broker I would only get $18 per point, but that's still over $9 per...

    V&A Jitters!

    Great to hear you're looking forward to it. We had an amazing time there. My answer to some of your questions: 1. I wore a 50s style dress that was slightly below the knee. It wasn't a cocktail dress or ballgown but I felt nice in it. My husband wore a nice shirt and a jacket, but it...

    Feb 2024 Average Resale Prices

    That seems to be quite an odd statistic that has been put in there to make a point. If you specifically look at the price change between November and February then it has increased, but you could also say that winter has caused the price to drop if you choose to pick the June figure instead...

    How to pay the final balance on a resale contract

    I bought a small contract recently and just used my HSBC global money account (which I was able to add online as I already have an account). We checked other methods and there was very little difference. There's nothing wrong with using Wise, but I think some of the high street banks are a lot...

    New Look for Login…??

    This isn't about asking for the email and password on separate pages (which I've also had for months now). If you see the first post, some of us have been getting a very different looking log in box and and font for the last few days. I was also very suspicious the first time, and didn't log...

    New Look for Login…??

    Mine had the 'dodgy' looking one yesterday, but has thankfully gone back to normal today. No idea why though.

    Mickey and Minnie Kitchen Sink Souvenir Bowls??

    It's not on the menu but it's still available if you ask for it. Our server suggested it to us at the end of our meal.

    Mickey and Minnie Kitchen Sink Souvenir Bowls??

    I got the Mickey one at Beaches and Cream a few months ago. I had the choice of Mickey or Minnie. Hollywood scoops advertises the Minnie one on their menu, and Plaza Ice Cream Parlour advertises the Mickey one, so it seems you have a choice of places! :)
