Adding on, buying resale, etc.

[KCK]

I have been reading a bit here as time allows, although it has been a while since my last visit. We are going to stay at BWV (home resort) in early January and I have been reading up on the SSR incentives and have some questions, related and not-so-related. Appreciate your input!

1) Is there any advantage to calling a Disney seller *before* we visit (ie today thru Friday) or taking on a 'pitch' during our visit. We have done the pitch a few years ago and don't feel there would be too much benefit except we would get to see SSR rooms (maybe?). If I call, who/what number is it? I bought my BWV resale btw.

2) I have read up on the advantages of buying direct vs resale, I figure with a premium of 2-3 dollars for direct, direct is still a better deal. I guess they pay closing, correct?

3) I have not yet received my 2006 statement. Just for planning, what are the BWV dues? SSR?

4) How do add-ons work? Meaning, could I add, say, 150 points of BWV? Is that about $92 today? Also looks like there is a waitlist. Given all this and a premium of 6-7 dollars over resale, why bother with add-on unless the point amounts are unusual (eg 70 points, difficult to find in resale)?

Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone who has bough resale had their annual dues included in the closing costs? I don't know if this is normal procedure or not.

In December, we paid our dues in the closing cost.
