    My situation. Is DVC For me?

    Depends on the resort and the time of year, eg, BWV and BCV are impossible during Food & Wine Festival time (Sept-Nov). You also said that you want to stay 10 days at a time. Now, that might be an issue. You might be forced into a split stay (usually 2, maybe 3 different resorts in your trip...

    Due increases for next year

    Objectively, Membership dues are calendar year based and not Use Year related. That said, subjectively I personally think of dues as associated with the use year of my trip. For example, I am going to AKV Jambo the last week of Feb 2018. If I were to use my Dec UY SSR points, then I would be...

    Available Contracts

    Thanks... I bought from SellMyTimeShareNow a few years back and paid over a $1000 in closing costs for a 160 point SSR contract. Matter of fact it was a disaster with a lot of mistakes before finally finishing after almost 5 months from contract. Lost some extra points (expired) that I could...

    Discounts on Disney Gift Cards, all but gone?

    If you do not have a Discover Card or have it for less than a year, then the absolute best way to go is to buy Disney Gift Cards thru a wholesale club (I did Sam's, but BJ's is a bit better). Discover will give 5% at Wholesale Clubs 1st Qtr 2017 AND you get a BONUS 5% in your first year as a new...

    What is a good/fair price for BLT at resale?

    Right now DVC Finder, which scours the resalers listings, has 129 total contracts for BLT with a range of $109 to $142 pp. The average price is $119.36. The above are very lucky (I drool over their opportunities) and do not reflect current availability in contracts. The $109 is for 320 points...

    Purchasing a DVC

    I believe that Disney is the very best timeshare deal anywhere. Usually it is best to get any timeshare resale. There are very rare exceptions like buying into the Poly DVC because Poly resales are very few and about the same total cost as Disney. Most timeshare devalue immediately after...

    Long Island Disers!

    The MTA radio ad that I heard implied that everyone is in agreement on wages/benefits for existing workers - the MTA wants new workers to take a little less. Unions will not agree. IS THIS TRUE OR A LIE ???

    Long island new york dvc members page

    Thinking of getting a small 50 point contract. Anybody else thinking about this? I assume the price will be about that of the GFV or a little lower with incentives in terms of point cost and mf's. Same point inflation as GF.

    Maintenance fees

    You are not seeing the very big picture. I will give you the summary: the maintenance fees plus other costs are way lower than a deluxe disney room now and at any time in the future. My last trip to AKV Jambo House cost (2 studios for 5 nights each at spring break time 2013) cost me in (2...

    Question about DVC points vs Marriot timeshare?

    ... Also heard that minimum buy-in is 2000 points. Marriott charges about $12 per point. Consider that equivalent to a small point DVC contract.
