    BLT Resale or RIV Direct

    Hey everyone, I am new here and to DVC. I have done a couple months of research and learning the ins and outs of the DVC system and tracking resale prices. We have been focused on BLT to date because we like the monorail/walking access to MK and the extra bathrooms in the 1- and 2-bedroom...

    Point increases

    Hello! My husband and I are planning to buy direct Riviera at some point this year. I know the April incentive is ending soon, but was wondering when Disney usually raises the price of points? Is it once per year in February typically? TIA!

    Riviera hurting: Feb 2020 email promoting Copper Creek.

    I got an email with special bonus for Copper Creek even though Riviera is on sale. (See attached) I’ve only gotten DVC emails for a few months and don’t know if this is typical, but this seems like a test balloon and/or further signs of slow sales at Riviera. It may be an experiment to see if...

    Riviera 50 pointer cleared ROFR at $121

    As reported by a new owner on DVC Fan Facebook, picked up a RIV 50 pointer for only $121. An SSR 50 pointer will go for similar money. It is looking increasingly like once we see plenty of larger RIV contracts on the market, we will be looking at $100ish a point or maybe a bit less?
