    Offshoot Add-on-itis Poll: Do you plan to add-on? And if so when?

    It’s fun seeing everyone’s DVC journey. I was wondering how many of us have a certain plan regarding add-ons. For us it seems we’ve settled in to a state of possibly. Wasn’t always that way. After our first contract there was a firm plan of no more than 1 add-on contract. Now that we’re at...

    Financing a Resale through a private sale

    I have the opportunity to purchase a resale contract from an acquaintance at roughly 85 pp at Saratoga. I know nothing at all about financing a resale privately, so what does the process look like and what red flags would I need to look out for? Thank you!

    Advice For First time Buyer (resale)

    Hi everyone. I am seriously considering buying DVC for the first time. There's simply too many factors here and I'm having trouble working through all of it and could really use some advice. We are an adult couple with no children who would like to travel every year or two. Studio is fine. I...

    Deciding between Copper Creek or Saratoga

    I'm trying to decide between getting a resale contract at Copper Creek or Saratoga. I'm just looking for the best deal and don't care where I stay. Thinking 200 points will be good for me. I'm a local so I probably won't have many 7-11 month-out planned trips. Copper Creek seems to have smaller...

    AKL offer accepted…is this a decent deal or red flag? What title company should I use?

    This is our first contract and it is a resale contract. It is for AKL with 250 points for 2023 on, and bank 28 points from 2022. It is for an August use year. It is $2191 in maintenance fees. I offered $103/pt and it was accepted. I expected negotiation but the seller accepted. Are there any red...

    Buying at multiple resorts?

    I have a quick logistical question. We will be buying DVC resale very soon, and have two resorts we love and can't decide between. As for the 7 to 11 month window, can you use ALL of your points in that window, or only the points for THAT RESORT in that window. I mean, if we bought 100 at one...

    DVC Resale Contract Language

    Hi! We just made an offer on a resale DVC contract for Boardwalk, and it was accepted. The contract from Fidelity names Boardwalk specifically as the “Resort.” It also included language on what was NOT included (Adventures Collection, Concierge Collection, or Disney Collection), but it doesn’t...

    Aulani purchase?

    My family currently has 150 points direct at AKL, and love it. We’ve been kicking around getting more points for awhile, and sent in an offer on some Aulani resale points that we thought was a lowball… and they accepted 😂😂😂 AUL 220/220/220, $110 per point, seller to pay half of the 2022...

    This Is So Frickin Frustrating!

    It’s been like this for over 2 YEARS. You bought resale and you want to borrow points to secure that room that you’ve been stalking for months? TOO BAD! You need to call member services and hold for 1 hour so that the agent can tell you “so sorry it’s been taken already”. Frejdjdnfnrrhehdhfn!!

    Why is SSR a popular home resort to purchase as resale?

    I live in Hawaii and we are thinking of buying a resale at Aulani. Many people suggested buying at SSR and just using the points at Aulani. We won't really be staying during peak times so we don't necessarily need the 11 month window at Aulani. We will probably use it more spontaneously if there...

    Favorite DVC resort to own and why?

    I own 150 Riviera points and find myself browsing the resale listings. I’m sort of new to Disney and new to RIV so interested in hearing about fav resorts to own at. I admit I am a bit disappointed in resort availability at 7 mo- (whether a covid thing or not I don’t know.) and thought I...

    Young DVC owners in their twenties

    I didn’t expect the comments to be so condescending! I was asking advice on point values, not my personal decisions! No more comments required. I don’t know how to delete.

    Minimum for direct benefits raising on 10/1

    Was told today that the minimum for blue card is raising to 125 points on 10/1. I’m sorry but WHAT??!! What are they thinking?? Most direct benefits are absolutely useless right now. You can not even buy an annual pass if you’re a new member. I kindly told my rep “No Thank You” and went back to...

    Direct vs Resale?

    Hello! I keep going back and forth on direct vs resale- we are a family of 5. I was thinking the annual pass discount is pretty significant. What are your thoughts?

    What's the best way to purchase Direct combined with Resale DVC?

    I have been trying to sort through all of the info on how the direct and resale work and specifically how they work together. I am interested in buying DVC, but would like to purchase 100 direct for the perks but save on the rest of the points by purchasing Resale. I know there is plenty of...

    Thinking of buying - want advice

    Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying DVC within the next year or two (once I have more saved up) and am definitely thinking of buying at least partially direct from Disney.
