Breathe. Again. In and Out.well... I just made an offer and now I am stressing out.. been on the fence for over a year and then this came out... I have always thought I needed more points, so I figured may as well get them now so I can use them everywhere... but I didn't even think about the resale issue. I am not planning to resale, I plan to give them to my son hes only 10... but anything can change. It was always good to know it was a decent investment.. made it more worth it.. now maybe not.. ugh. I got in too late.... Just starting to enjoy the magic and its becoming less magical
Thanks.. yes.. you are correct. I will enjoy these points for years. So, I should just not worry about all that other stuff... its about us and our enjoyment not the maybe if we decide to sell stuff... OK... feel better now. and, our points will be better to rent if we decide to because renters will have access to all resorts!! So, that is also a good thing.. provided we hurry with this process!!Breathe. Again. In and Out.
Assuming you make it into ROFR review by 1/19 and then past ROFR, your purchase made today is identical to a hypothetical purchase of the same made last week.
I agree. I’m not worried until they take away any of my grandfathered I’m perks. When that starts to happen I’ll worry. But for now and my family it is what it is. I personally don’t even see myself staying at Rivera or the other new place. The new place to me is a modern wilderness lodge based on its location in my mind. Maybe it won’t be but that’s how I’m picturing it based on the location.Actually, the reality is that you probably SHOULD have listened before -- because then you'd own at a location that can continue to be used at any of the locations including the new/upcoming ones.
So, it's fine that you didn't listen -- but those that did listen are actually still in a good spot right now.

Transferred points retain their original ‘thumbprint’...which is why you can’t transfer resort A points into resort B and use for 11 month booking advantage - only the original resort B points can be used at 11 months at resort B
Greed.I just don't understand the motive for this. Doesn't a strong resale market only benefit DVC? They can ROFR whenever they want and resell at direct prices. All resales were sold direct originally so Disney made their profit. They don't seem to be having trouble selling CCV direct. There has to be more to this..... I keep coming back to not understanding how a resale market hurts Disney..... Do they just want to sell direct at a faster rate? Are they hurting for a cash influx that much? Too much expansion lately? Something just doesn't add up to me.....
No new Resorts will surpass BCV and BWV IMO, heck not even BLT, POLY or GFV, (and I will take WLV over Reflections any day). Location is the point IMO.

Since joining this board in 2012, when it comes to selecting a home resort, I have read countless posts by other contributors who have encouraged prospective buyers to "pay where they want to stay." What if Disney's Riviera Resort is truly a game changer, with lavishly furnished villas and desirable view categories? The resort will have direct access to Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios, via the Skyliner, and is within walking distance of Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. Moreover, the rooftop restaurant will provide spectacular views of nighttime fireworks displays. Given its potential offerings, reserving the same villa at this resort, year after year, may be a phenomenal opportunity.
What resort?
I hope you enjoy the Magic for many years.
It’s not the same, but I was very upset about them taking away real glasses and mugs from studios. I called, sent letters and emails. My DH told me to sell if it was making me so upset. Well, I wasn’t that upset, but I was thrilled when they put the real things, glasses and mugs back, and what happens, we often book one bedrooms now, so it’s a mostly non issue for me.
I am disappointed when I think about the meeting that addressed none of these issues.
However, staying at a DVC Home with family and friends is still fun, and things that I look forward to doing.
Best wishes!

I'm starting to salivate on scooping up a small $200 Riviera resale contract for $50. Just for occasional Riviera stays. Just get past ROFR.
