We decided to purchase a resale of BCV since that's the one we want to go to most. Now I don't have any doubts.

Thanks Doc! That sounds great. I'm really looking forward to going!

We're thinking of going to HH at the end of March. Has anyone ever been there that time of year? Are a lot of the activities closed that time of year? I'd like to know what it's like that time of year.

I've seen a few things for sale on ebay.

I'm in the process of buying a resale through The Timeshare Store. Pat at The Timeshare Store told me to call American Express and tell them that I'm buying real estate and can't use a credit card and request that they send me the money, waive the cash advance fee and give me miles. She said she...

Okay, now that's three of us buying points @ $74 and getting all the 2002 and 2003 points, which I think is a great deal. Maybe this is a stupid question, but why are people selling these? And why haven't they been using their points? I just can't imagine. I can't wait to book our first visit!

Pfers, That's great that you got your contract! Yours sounds just like mine so now I'm feeling much better about it. We are dealing with Pat at The Timeshare Store. Is that who you used?

I'm encouraged that $74 seems too high for Disney to buy, but I'm scared that my deal is so good that they may want it. I'm buying a December use year with 200 banked points from Dec. 2002, then I get 200 more this December and I'm only paying for two months of dues for 2003. I am paying all the...

Of course I don't think Disney would be vindictive. It was just odd that my guide said they will be more likely to buy the contract knowing that I'm the buyer and was going to buy SSR. I don't know if he was implying that they if they buy it, I'll go back to Disney and buy SSR. It really didn't...

My husband and I had the tour and sales pitch for SSR and decided to buy 200 points. I gave a deposit and got the Fed Ex package. I kept hesitating to sign however, because I kept feeling like I really should buy at BCV since that's where I want to stay. I finally decided that I should have the...

What is actually the Purchase Date you use when booking an another DVC resort? We have paid a deposit, are sending back the signed documents, get points Dec. 2003, but the closing date listed on the documents is April 1, 2004. Is the Purchase Date the closing date, the deposit date or the date...

That's interesting you're hearing February. When I called Member Services, they told me I couldn't make reservations for resorts other than SSR until May 1, 2004. I understand perfectly why we can't stay anywhere until after May 1, 2004, but they were clear that I couldn't even book it until May...

Thanks for all the information. Being new at this, I didn't realize that purchasers from other resorts had to give back their first years points - ouch. I just don't get why I can't make reservations for BCV with my points in December for June, when SSR will already be opened. I'll quit my...

We will stay at SSR in the future and like the location, but our 8 year old son is begging to stay at BCV so he can spend time at SAB. We thought it would be nice to stay there our first time and then go to SSR and the others.

I am buying 200 points for SSR and am in the process of signing the documents and sending them back. My use year is Dec and we will get our first 200 points December 1, 2003. I knew I couldn't use the points until after May 1, 2004 when SSR opens but I called to make sure I could make a...

I am in the process of buying 200 points at SSR. This is my first DVC purchase. If I understand correctly, I will get 200 points December 1, 2003 but can't use them until after May1, 2004 when the first building is complete. The problem is I wanted to use the points to stay at BCV in March...

Thanks for the tip. I have a call into our guide. I'll ask him about buying into one of the other resorts when he calls me back. I assumed they were unavailable.

Thanks for all of the information. I'm still not sure what to do. We would most likely be traveling at the end of March or the beginning of June or mid to late August. Are those busy DVC times?

My husband and I took the tour and got the sales pitch for Saratoga Springs a couple of days ago. We're about ready to buy, but I'm concerned about the importance of the home resort. I really like the location better of both Boardwalk and Beach Club Villas. Our guide said it doesn't matter at...
