They couldn't answer any of my questions and said to drop by on our trip. Thanks

Ask away, that's what we're here for.

Ask away, that's what we're here for.

I'm wondering how far in advance tours should be booked. We are only going to be there a week and I would like to tour in the first day or two. Would they be able to squeeze us in that quick at a time that is convenient for us? I would prefer to have a few days to think it over once we know what they are offering at the time. We're not a big impulse buyers, especially when it comes to larger purchases. Because we are from Alberta we would have to purchase while there so the more time to think about it the better. If we were to buy and changed our minds once we got home how long would we have to cancel and are there any penalties? Does DVC ever offer special deals for Canadians?

Oh yeah, and any tips on how to convince the hubby?

Re: Hi from Ontario. I would love to take you up on the offer. Had to put another post on here to be able to reply to you. Hopefully it will work now I'll try replying right away.

Hi OvertheRainbow - I sent you a private message.

Talk to you soon.

Call as soon as you can from your resort, believe me they will fit you in on your schedule.

I think there is a short period of time to back out, but I'm unsure of penalties, I'll look into it.

No special deals for Canadians.

Tips to convince the hubby, golf discounts, building a resort in Hawaii, great resorts to relax in after a day at the parks, you'll be really,really really happy!

Thanks for the hubby tips I'm hoping once he sees the accomodations I won't have to do too much convincing. We're staying at BWV in a 1 bdrm and from what I've been able to see online the AKV villas look amazing. I also think AKV resort looks like a holiday in itself.

I had to convince my spouse to go to WDW for her first trip(it's for kids she said) just about three years ago, since then we've been 6 times and she fully supported, almost pushed for the DVC purchase.

By the end of September you can add two more to the list of Canadian DVCers!

 

[yxe dad]

Congrats, let us know the details when you buy.

We just got news that Disney waivered their ROFR...and we are now proud owners at BWV! Everything should be over and done with by October. Bought through re-sale at TSS.

 

[WDWcanuck]

Sent in the paperwork today. Now just waiting to close!
First DVC vacation is in 12 days...a week at SSR on developer points. Now, I just need to wait! lol

 

[LauraLap]

We just put in an offer at TSS for 210 AKV points. So, now I guess we wait for ROFR to pass. I hope we are joining your group within a couple months

Hi. Looks like hubby is seriously considering buying into DVC but he had a question I didn't know the answer to. I'm hoping to get a quick answer as we leave tomorrow for our trip to Orlando. I know I can get the answer there but we don't check in to our wdw resort until the 16th and I'm hoping to not wait that long. Anyway, just wondering if you have to pay taxes on the initial purchase price of a DVC, and if yes, how much?

Hi there,

You do pay taxes when you buy, they are based on your use year and pro-rated accordingly. Therefore if you have a use year of July, you only pay for half the years fees.
Good luck in purchasing, we love our DVC and I'm sure you will too!

Thanks for the quick reply but I'm kinda confused. Wouldn't sales tax be based on the actual purchase price? I don't understand how use year would play into how taxes are charged. There is so much that is confusing to me in regards to the DVC, hopefully if we do buy in I can figure things out quickly

You do not pay sales tax. The previous poster is referring to the property taxes included in the maintenance fee (MF).
You will pay a portion of the closing costs. We paid $232 on 160 points a year ago but this may vary with the current deal. If I remember you also pay the MF from the point of purchase to year end at time of purchase. In your case about 3.5 months.

One thing to remember / consider is that from Disney you receive the current year’s points if the unit is available (this would not apply for the unfinished AKV units). For use years after the current date, Oct & Dec, that is the 2007 points, which they will let you bank. So you would get two years worth of points, 2007 and 2008 on your use year month, and pay 3.5 months of MF. This would only make sense if the use year works for you.

 

[OvertheRainbow]

Oh, I think I understand now. Sorry for not being more specific about taxes, I should have put "sales" in there for my original question, oops. Like I said there's a few things I don't understand about the DVC and didn't even know about the other tax. Not having sales tax on the initial purchase is gonna be helpful in convincing hubby.

Add us to the list ... Proud new owners at AKV as of today
