Thank you! This was very helpful!

I want to buy additional DVC points. My current use year is April at AKV. I’m seeing a lot off listings for other use years. I am planning on being patient and wait for April to be available (it is hard to wait). But I was wondering what everyone thought about having 2 use years?

Are you looking to add on at AKV or get a second home resort? If you are looking to have another home resort and using them independently I really don’t think having 2 UY is a big deal. We own at both BLT and BWV with different UY and don’t have any problems with it. Initially we were looking at keeping the same UY but there aren’t a lot of April UY contracts at BLT. So we decided to get a different UY. We don’t mix the points as we use them to book with the home resort advantage. If we trade out we use the BLT points and save the BWV points for BWV bookings as we own less points there
If you are looking to add on at AKV I think having 2 UY is kind of a pain as I assume you’d want to combine points for bookings.

I’m looking to add on at AKV. I feel like having additional points will increase flexibility and allow for a room with more space sometimes. I’ve definitely been bitten by the DVC bug. I also don’t want to go crazy and rush into anything. I feel like I haven’t seen a lot of listings for April, however that could just be me feeling the urge to buy more. Thank you for the insight about having 2 Home resorts versus 1. I love hearing how others manage their trips to Disney and I love to learn how I can do things better.

It’s too bad those 2016 points will be useless.. what a shame!

Others have recommended, and I agree, purchase contracts for two or three if your favorite resorts to allow you to reserve 11 months out.

Our first (resale) was SSR because it was the best $$ value ..... been there now for a stay and love it ...... bought 75 direct at Boardwalk ..... stayed there a few times previous, love the location for Food & Wine and access to the 2 parks ...... now have 2 in ROFR at Animal Kingdom which is our favorite park (don’t do Magic Kingdom more than once per trip since kids all grown).

Yes, going for same UY and we (me and the Mrs) tend to go same season.

If you get this closed quickly by some miracle, you can trade them into RCI.

Good luck. Glad you got right back in there. Working on my 4th attempt. I had my offer in and accepted Monday, signed the docs Tuesday, and I am waiting for the seller to sign so we can get to ROFR.

Good Luck!

Sorry to hear that. We still love you!

I felt the same way. The minute I convinced DH to buy more points, I couldn't find anything in my use year that was in the right point range.

Here we go again. Hard to pass up the cheap points this time.

Did the seller pay for closing or annual dues? Just surprised that the extra costs were only $700 ($15700-$15000[300*50])

 

[Hammer22]

I’m curious why folks select Beach Club vs Boardwalk Villas contracts (other than for add on)?

I think BWV have more units, greater availability, lower cost per point; both have identical access to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

Is it simply because of the Beach Club pool?

What am I missing or getting wrong?

Thanks!

If this was in response to my post about ROFR on BCV, it has to do with this being the first one that came across my radar and my not having a specific preference on the resort itself, at least not yet. I work in the industry, albeit a bit removed from Orlando and Disney itself, but some contacts of mine alerted me to a DVC property coming available through their network and I jumped on the opportunity.

How are there still 2016 points? Just trying to learn all the ins and outs of things

Forgot to mention it looks like a great deal and good luck.

I think contract is wrongly listed it’s 170/17 (banked 2016) and 340/18 (banked 2017)

Attempt #4. Paying a little bit more but this use year is perfect and I need full 2018 points. I am hoping that, since this one is higher PPP than passed or taken recently, we can finally get one through.
Going to Disneyland next week so the first week of the wait should fly by.

They banked them but they will expire 8/1/18. Don’t think there’s much of a chance of getting those points before then. Found out the sellers don’t have email

Well, when doing the submission for the thread it asks how many points for 2016 so technically those points are 2016 right?
