I agree with Doc and Dean for starters. Next this is why I STRONGLY recommend not letting things get this far. You might want to consider my trade up or musical resorts theory. Make sure you own a resort with a longer expiration date. If you own OKW, HH, VB, BWV or VWL now might be a good...

I'm glad you had a great trip, I truly am. Quite frankly I'm not surprised, SSR is a nice resort. What I would say is that your view or opinion of the impact of SSR on the system has far less merit than that of an experienced owner. By experienced I mean an owner who has tried all or most...

So sorry to hear about this Dean. I wish there was some words we could give the family to heal that wound. I'll keep them in my prayers.

Glad to hear it, one more room filled at SSR. I know I'd recommned a first timer stay at a resort that they can feel the magic. A big part of that magic is the parks, especially a first time visiter so I'd recommned VWL, BCV or BWV for a first timer. I don't hate SSR by the way, it is...

It is already starting to be honest. We have a certain poster who has AKV points for rent for ther nice price of $16/pp. As for pre-booking concierge level rooms? Well, if I was going to do that (which I have no plans to yet) I'd do that elsehwere. Why subject yourself to the abuse for...

For those saying they wil try them all and then stick with SSR, I have a sneaky susupicion that a great percentage of you will decide otherwise and fall into the own SSR stay elsewhere group. Not all but a percentage. I find it quite amusing those saying SSR is great and it is the best, and...

Again I agree although I will say the courts seem to frowning down on these big comapnies just squashing the little guy. My advice to anyone renting is this simple, declare all rental income and really keeep your eyes and ears open. Also do not use copyrtighted materials. I've done...

Chuck this is a great point. Those choosing to purchase and rent the more expensive resorts will be directly competing with owners of the cheaper resorts. Thanks for making that point.

Why are you offering to tag them? Are you the tag fairy????? As far as purchasing with the idea of renting, well, worked pretty good for me. It was a big win in fact. All the Deb and Bills in the world aren't going to stop this. OP, I'd say intially AKV will be renting for top dollar...

I know this is directed at me so I'll respond. I don't think I've EVER stated anywhere that someone who likes X Resort is wrong. That would be simply silly. We all like different things and have different needs out of a vacation. If I have stated otherwise I apologize and really please...

This is completely reasonable and it is hard to disagree with. I think it is that fear that they are hoping will work. I wonder from a legal standpoint if they can stop an owner from renting? I don't believe so. I've even spoken to my attorney about it and he said, "While you wouldn't want...

Where is Bicker when we need him?????

Just curious why you feel that way?

Yes Daddio has a great site. I consider that living proof that DVC is powerless to stop this stuff. Come on they can't find that but we can????

No, they are powerless to stop it. Unless someone is using copyrighted photos then they are safe. Once again, to my knowledge, there has not been any enforcement to this point. The letters sent and emails about renting were nothing but a scare tactic. What was done and frankly it is all...

That is exactly what I voted and I'd love to have both. I'm not sure SAB could handle that, however.

Sorry, I am trying to pin you guys down thus the one choice. Pick your favorite please.

God point, lets say all brand new with 50 year terms and all resorts are 400 rooms large with the same room configuratons they have currently.

Where would you buy if the resorts were as is and they all had a new 50 year term AND the same number of rooms?
