We just closed on our first DVC contract for 105 points at Saratoga Springs. After having been ROFR'd by Disney twice, our 3rd attempt has gone smoothly and quickly. The deed was recorded on the 30th, so now we're just waiting for our membership info from Disney.
Going into this, we knew 105 points wasn't going to be enough, so we've decided to buy a small add on contract through Disney. DH gets a bonus at work each August, so we plan to use part of that to pay cash for the add on points. We would like to have the points by October, as we have a trip planned for then and want to buy APs with the DVC discount. I know we can't get the discount through our resale, which is part of the reason why we want to add on direct from Disney.
If we try to buy in August, does that give us enough time to have the points by October? We don't want to use them in October, we just want to save some money on the APs, which we need to buy regardless. Is it even possible to buy add on points at SSR or can we only do that at the Poly? And, can we even do this from home or do we have to be at Disney World to add on points?
