BLT sold for 66.25PP

BWV has had contracts sell in the low 50.00's pp vs. 115.00 direct.

NO WAY! And does Disney actually get $115 for a BWV or OKW contract? I understand they are tacking on additional years (which I don't want anyway), but other than that, who would pay that much? I am keeping an eye out and saving up dough to buy outright a BWV contact for about $50/pt. I can't see anyone losing money on that (unless it's a resale of a resale) and a few have sold in that range and passed.

Cool! Is this new? About 4 or 5 years ago, we almost bought SSR but decided to buy a house instead. I had told them I wasn't interested in SSR but might buy a Boardwalk contract. They said Disney doesn't do that. Then when he explained the ROFR and that Disney always buys back (then anyway), I said, "so what do you do with all those points if you don't resell them?" He said people buy extra points sometimes for a particular vaca.

For reasons that only Disney knows, they don't want to sell points for resorts other than there current projects. The Guides will often tell you that points aren't available. It also seems that Disney sends contracts for older resorts to Fidelity, who sells them and splits the commission with Disney.

If Disney is selling it, then is it really a resale and would it have those same restrictions applied for use?

Sorry if this is getting off-topic.

I'll bet that it passes ROFR. The resort still hasn't sold out so I can't imagine Disney buying back more points. With the upcoming Grand Floridian DVC, they don't need a surplus of points accumulating at Bay Lake Tower like they did at Saratoga Springs. This is all just another indication of the poor state of our economy.

There is going to be a DVC at GF????

It is all rumor & speculation at this point. This is based on some building plans filed, but there was not a specific mention of it being a DVC addition.
