I've made an offer on a contract and I'm on my way to buying Riviera resale a small (100 pt) contract. These would be my first DVC points. I'm aware of the restrictions, but I really love Riviera (just visiting from Pop!) and I love the skyliner.
I'm a Disney convert, having told my kids at 4 and 6 that we were going once and not going back in 2014. Despite that statement, it's been on average every other year since then. Plus a visit to Aulani (though just a day trip) and we were at Tokyo Disneyland and Disneysea earlier this month! There's a whole big world to explore, but Disney is just always a good time.
We are usually value resort guests, so this isn't truly a money saving proposition. But I'd probably NEVER opt to pay out of pocket for a stay at a place like Riviera, and even renting DVC points seems pricey. This seemed like a good way to give it a try, figuring worst case scenario, I can resell the contract if I think it isn't for us.
I am planning to rent unused points in years we don't plan to use them, which I understand isn't particularly lucrative, but I'm happy to have it offset some of our carrying costs.
I have also run numbers and decided that it's probably better to resell in 20 years or so than hold the contract for the duration of the agreement.
Anyway, lots of thoughts, no actual questions, except the ones I don't know to ask about. I just feel like I need to tell people who understand what I'm going through, lol!
