Are you holding out for CR before buying into DVC?

[DLBDS]

I don't think I've noticed anyone else while surfing the boards that are waiting on the CR to be completed before they buy into DVC. I'm a hold-out. Anyone else?

 

[disney-super-mom]

I've been a "hold out" for a Disneyland DVC. Then they announced the construction of the itty-bitty GCV. I'm pretty sure it will sell out to current DVC members, so it looks like I'll be a "hold out" longer still.

 

[keishashadow]

we've been holding out for 2 years for a final add-on @ CRV, in order to comfortably allow for banking & borrowing @ 3 different resorts implementing the 11 month window.

even though i believe in the CRV not sure i would want to wait to be able to enjoy membership

are you aware that existing members have traditionally been offered "1st dibs" on new DVC resorts?

while i'm not going to try & predict the response, i'm thinking there are many existing members out there who will jump @ the chance to own @ CRV.

Surely they won't sell out to existing members? That seems crazy. I'm not worried. Besides, holding out gives me plenty of time to research (which I'm doing right heavily this evening ) and figure out how I'm gonna pay for it.

I am not holding out. CRV may or may not happen. If it does happen, it will be almost 19-23 months before it is open.

I jumped on AKV as soon as it was released. Made the the first 150 to get on the Founders list, only to find that they opened to everyone in the month! We didn't get anything, but being on the list and a little cost per point savings.

I will wait unitl it is open for a year and get all the free points I can.

 

[Josh125]

We are, ha

It would be great if they pre-sold it this year after the big annoncement in May and then use the points at another resort while waiting for it to officially open.

 

[WoodysRoundup]

I've been hearing alot about the May speculation date. I wonder where that info. is from. Anyone know?

We DEFINITELY will not add on anywhere else, and are waiting for a BIG add on at CRV if/ when it is announced!

 

[TisBit]

No...not really interested in CRV at this time....time will tell though! I doubt it will sell out quickly, especially with that many floors going up. I am more interested in just seeing the price/point charts. I don't think points will be huge...but I think buy in will be, as will be the MF's. But....membership has its privileges!

I wouldn't hold my breath on a May announcement, you might die of asphyxiation!

honestly, don't know ; i am a relative newbie w/no inside sources, just playing madame leota & peering into my crystal ball i've got a gut feeling it'll be later this year since i'm tapped out from DHs harley purchase last year & my nasty vacation addiction.

I was shocked that they were building such a small resort in DL; perhaps another one is planned a bit "further offsite"?

if the rumours weren't flying around, I def. would've added on @ BW (or AK when it was announced)...just too lazy to worry about selling that purchase when the CRV is announced.

 

[Muhlenberg]

I'm leaning towards waiting til CRV is announced, provided, of course, that that's what it really is. Anyway...we've historically stayed at CR except for one trip which was a spur of the moment. Given the buy where you want to stay, and the fact that it's already hard to get ressies at CR, I think I'll probably wait and get the 11-month advantage. (And DH told someone the other day that I go to WDW twice a year. I'm all set for DVC.)

 

[Robo-Daddy 3000]

No interest at all in owning at CRV.

 

[DISNEY FIX]

I am holding out for CRV. If it is announced as non DVC, the next day I will be on the phone searching for another 150 points at the BCV. We are willing to spring for about 200 CRV points. I would be a little hesitant to jump at DVC's first offer because I don't think there would be a little incentive. Who likes to pay retail? I figure we will hold out at least another year.

 

[chipscinderelly]

We talked about selling our smaller SSR contract and buying CV, however, we believe the price per point will be a lot higher and the maintenance as well so we'll just work on staying there in the future

 

[Kurby]

depending on if/when it's announced we may do a 50 point add on or a 150 brand new contract

we just bought AK last year and paying that off - i'm one for hoping they wait a couple more years so we can afford a brand new contract

 

[monami7]

We are waiting to add on at CRV...We figure we can hold out anywhere up to 3 years to add on 200 points at CRV. That is my Dream Home away from Home. It is where we spent our Honeymoon and in the morning at the resort my favorite thing to do is walk from my room to the Magic Kingdom like it is my Backyard.

 

[sajetto]

I'm a bigger fan of the more secluded resorts which is exactly why I own at the 3 places I do, BUT for those who are interested in CRV and aren't current owners, you should know that sales will open up first to those who already own. That doesn't necessarily mean that owners get the best deal, just that they have the first shot at buying.

ETA: I just noticed that someone has already posted this info

Thru Disney or a resale? Just curious.
