I'm in a very similar situation. I have my 200 points @ 86pp SSR resale contract that I only signed 6-7 days ago. But the incentives for direct VGF is so incredible right now. I would love to buy both and have direct UY match the resale UY but that is not in the cards for us right now. Also, I would only be able to afford 150 points at VGF direct.
I don't know what to do. I could still cancel the SSR resale in the next 3 days and get my full deposit back if I wanted to do direct. But my goodness, 86pp SSR is a great deal.
Extra info:
-We are a family of 5 with the youngest kiddo being 2.
-We fly to Disney 1 time a year and stay for 1 wk. We rely on Disney transportation throughout our stay. (this could change as the kids get older)
-I love the idea of being able to stay at any resort on property old or new
-From the great info I got from
DVC Availability Tables — DVC Field Guide, it looks like VGF usually has resort studios available at the 7-month out mark.
- We are going in Jan 2024 to Disney World and we would love to use our points for our stay. (I know that the only thing still available this late in the game is SSR 1 BR or some kind of split stay.) But I have heard if you buy direct, MS may be able to work a little magic and get us in for a non-split stay.
What are your thoughts? Help this crazy lady. I feel like a hamster on a wheel.
