    ADRs down?

    Been trying to make reservations on my phone and desktop since 6am, and it isn't working. I haven't had enough coffee for Disney IT today. 😭

    Official Disney Cake Chatter - Part V!

    Contemporary mini-cake, we picked it up at The Wave. My kiddo loves rainbows and they were able to do a rainbow Mickey on top. With DVC discount it was $48.

    Question about selling

    Thanks for posting this! We went into closing on Thursday and suddenly my dues show past due and I can’t book anything with my other points. It’s a real headache! I had no idea that would happen.

    Free Room Upgrades?

    We had a one-night cash studio booked at Riviera for our last night. We got to the resort at 2:30pm and waited til 4 before asking for an ETA on our room. They came over a few minutes later and gave us a one bedroom! 🧚‍♀️ We’ve never gotten a room upgrade before. We speculated they were...

    Not Worth Purchasing Resale

    yup, second this! I got 200-pt at $104 last month. I think some places are listing way higher than expected sale price hoping to catch uninformed buyers. :/

    If it’s the same UY, it’ll be right next to your RIV points once it is loaded.

    Blue Card

    The minimums for becoming a new member via direct were 160, yes. You couldn’t buy less than that if you weren’t already a member. The only other way you could become a member was via resale. Once you’re a member, you can add on contracts smaller than the minimum for non-members. So the minimum...

    Blue Card

    It really quickly accelerated. We bought resale June 2017 and added on 25 direct in August 2017 to get our blue card. They raised the minimum to 75 in Feb 2018 and it keeps going up.

    Ethics question - resale that you might rescind depending on ROFR

    Absolutely not. I’d only offer on something I plan to follow through on. Tying up the seller isn’t fair, and the spirit and intent behind the rescind law is to protect buyers who don’t understand the agreements they are entering into or making while at high-pressure/reward sales presentations...

    Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

    We choose to fly out of an airport 1.5 hours away for the nonstops (MHT), instead of the airport 15 minutes from us. But two days we got a note that our departing flight is no longer nonstop (12pm-4pm) and is now a layover that lands past 9pm. So I hustled to book a one-night room so we could...

    Member services frustration

    Called at 9:10, was told a 24 min wait (how nice to an estimate!) It’s 9:53 now and the last time I heard the recording with a time estimate was at least 20 minutes ago.. and it still claimed 24 minutes. 😂

    ROFR Thread April to June 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

    In this case, the 7/1 is likely an estimate. If you just submitted to ROFR, they are conservatively estimating 40 days for that, then 30 for estoppel, and getting all closing docs together with appropriate signatures. That puts you close to the 7/1 estimated timeline. If things move faster...

    ROFR Thread April to June 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

    It depends.. if it was upfront said after 7/1, then the seller probably has a trip planned using points so closing has to be after the trip. If it’s just an estimate, you can close earlier. We entered our contract to ROFR on 3/24 and were told closings were currently estimated at the first or...

    Right? I’m sure Disney has the data on how much we spent before becoming DVC and after. 😂 They are doing okay despite our buying resale.

    Add on points minimums

    Ah your original post said you owned already, hence why I said 25/50. The minimum is higher if you aren’t a DVC member. It was 75 in early 2019 (a friend bought 75 CCV) and I believe the minimum now is 100 but 125 is needed for blue card.
