Thanks for the insights. I am thinking of selling my two contracts via a broker. I've just started my research and I was surprised by what sellers as asking (and maybe getting?), even for small stripped-down contracts.

I read a Resales DVC blog that stated "Twelve of the 15 DVC resorts are “sold out,” meaning all the allocated points for that resort have been sold and you cannot readily purchase points for those resorts direct from Disney. Aulani, Copper Creek and Riviera are the only three resorts that are...

I was there last weekend and much of the pool in the center is unavailable. However, the slide was open. It didn't matter much to us, due to the cool temps in the evenings. Good luck!

It took until late June to have 50 points for OKW become available for purchase from DVC, but now I have my points. Paid $100 per point for the 2057 expiration date.

Just returned from out first-time stay at Vero Beach. We had a nice ocean front view from Inn room 2221. My kids (6 & 7) had a great time at the pool, especially with all of the organized pool games. Plus, there were ample opportunities for crafts, mini-golf, etc.

Do you have another "Disney" account, such as disneyworld.com? I don't like that they are trying to link these accounts. Worse yet, I could not find a way to delete my non-DVC accounts.

June, but my initial (and so far only) 50 point contract is at BLT. I called today about a 50 point OKW contract for June and was also told that it has a wait-list. The rep read down the list and there were multiple months with a wait-list. I imagine that this would cause resales to be...

I'm looking to add 50 points at either BLT or OKW and I prefer to have the same UY of my existing 50 point contract at BLT. If I buy direct, DVC has the BLT available in my UY, but OKW is waitlisted. The rep says that regardless of which one I get, they will let me have the 50 2012 points for...

I contacted someone at the website help desk for disneyworld.com and they informed me that my dvcmember.com account had been inactivated. They sent me a link to re-activate my account, which I was able to successfully accomplish. I'm happy that I found a knowledgeable person late on a Sunday...

I hadn't tried to log into my DVC account for several months until today. I could not get my username and password to work, so I requested that my password be sent to me. I was surprised that it wouldn't just send me a temporary password and allow me to reset it. Regardless, the password it...

I did the same thing just prior to the price increase. Never owned at DVC before, until I purchased my 50 point BLT in Early December. I called on a Monday, made a deposit via phone, the paperwork arrived a few days later, I signed the paperwork and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope...

I know this isn't about Interval, but the best trade I ever made with Interval was for my one week at Westin Kierland (Scottsdale) for one week in a first-floor 1 BR at OKW in May 2009. I even think that the week we stayed came after DVC switched to RCI. If anyone was there the week of May...

Yes, 50 points at BLT prior to the latest price increase ($120) was my first DVC purchase. I don't know if my logic applies to everyone, but it did for me and that is what's important. BLT is what I wanted and 50 points made sense to me. I think the lower point total makes for a smaller...

That's the key. Pick a reasonable number of net calories per day (2,000) and stick to it. No exceptions. Calories In - Calories Burned = Net Calories One of the best tools I have seen (and used myself) to determine net calories is a free smartphone or web-based app called "Lose It!"...

Nice trip report. Glad to hear that you had no issues with the "dark-look-and-feel" of the furnishings. ;) I love Kidani! :surfweb:

You can become a new member via direct purchase for 50 points. No discounts, but it definitely can be done. Just ask for an exception. :surfweb:

Ignoring the DDP needs for now, a couple of questions: Does your current reservation cover all of your travel dates and the room types you want? (i.e. does it appear in your dvcmember page as you expect to see it?) I think that having your dates covered is most important. Does any of...

"The sense of regret after having made a purchase. It is frequently associated with the purchase of big-ticket items such as a car or house. It may stem from a sense of not wishing to be wrong, of guilt over extravagance, or of suspecting having been 'snowed' by a sales associate." -Wikipedia...

You have probably already read this, but just in case you haven't, I would put UY at or near the bottom of deciding factors. All other things being equal (price per point, home location, dues, number of points, loaded resale contract, etc.) then yes, UY is something to consider. It (I have...

Pros: Pool - Kidani has a great pool and splash area for 4 y/o. My kids love it. Rooms - Nice condition, new fixtures, etc. I never noticed the dark-look-and-feel that others comment about. Cons: Transportation - Everything is a bus ride. Everything.
