never *knew* there was really a topic here LOL (jk) what is it again??? TD's hose??? Carrie and biting? Dancing bananas???

<snicker> I guess it's too early for you to catch the subtle tongue-in-cheek overtones. More like yes, there's a topic, and it's--oh look, a puppy.

Tia forgot this too... you can also transfer one time to someones account points. Like my mom can transfer points to my account once during a use year. Not sure if she can transfer to someone else during that use year, but I know I can only receive from her 1x

wow.. not sure I'm the best person to answer those, but I'll try. I bought OKW in 1995, sold it, and then bought in again at HH in part because it was the best deal at the time (around $70/point with banked points). I've never stayed at HH and I don't need points during the holidays and I don't need to stay at the high traffic resorts like BCV or AKV to enjoy my time there. So for me, it was about getting the most amount of points for the least $. Part of the annual dues (property taxes) are tax deductable, but some are not - maintenance fees for instance. DVC can give you a breakdown of the dues for your taxes. If you're financing the purchase you should check with an accountant on what might be deductable. If you have a mortgage now and can take advantage of current rates, it may make more sense to refinance and take out equity for an outright purchase.. depends on your cicrumstances, but I'd check with an expert on how best to do that.

I bought both sight unseen. It's prepaid vacation. I've stayed at BWV, OKW, and SSR. I've also used points to stay in NYC on the Concierge Collection. Never had a problem using my points 7 months out versus 11 at home resort. If it's important to you to stay at a certain resort during certain times of the year and have larger unit sizes, you should target those resales for your purchase. Being able to book 11 months out versus 7 can make a huge difference if you're less flexible in when and where you want to stay.

hope this helps.

Good info here BV thanks, i didn't know the annual dues were allocated ,so i'll be sure to clarify that with the agent. Yep i should be speaking with an accountant though i probably won't. I'm glad to hear the "out of the world" option worked in NYC for you, i was up at the Sagamore resort recently and wouldn't mind returning on points.

EWwwww didnt hear the complete statement, but they just compared the Pats to the Mudfish!!!

IMO, it varies on what you can afford to do. My mom bought in and went with the DVC package vs resale.



this I dont know the answer too LOL... taxes are being done differently this year.



I didnt go on a tour until my mom bought in a couple months ago. My neighbor is a OKW owner, and I stayed with her once at BWV and then I rented points off the board, and stayed at OKW. I then bought in... and then again... and again.... and may do one more add on.



I have gotten a room at short notice (within a couple days of trip) during a peak travel time like food and wine for BCV before. all depends on cancellations. They can put you on a wait list for a room (at more than one resort) for the same time.



Transferable as in being willed to someone??? yes

I knew this group would have great input. thanks so much

I think the more the Pats are attacked off the field, the more they respond on the field.

Wasnt it the Pats who were playing the mudfish, where it was snowing and someone came out and plowed the field for the kicker for the Pats years ago????

Good Morning All

Happy Superbowl Sunday

Doing my taxes, going to starbucks , running some errands then watching the game...

 

[CoasterAddict]

Happy Super Bowl Day to those who follow such things.

I have to confess that when local teams get into championship games (and *gosh* that seems to be happening a lot lately ) I'm really just eager for it to be *over.* But I suspect I'm in the minorty for that.

Starbucks on the other hand....I could join you in that, Cait.
Well, ok, not *in* the coffee. (You were going to go there, weren't you, BV?)

 

[CoasterAddict]

ooh, and a 4-digit post count, finally. (for me, not the board.)
Speaking of which, who is managing the "when does this thread hit 10K?" pool?
