Direct Sales Feb 2025

Nice! BLT and AKV resale are fantastic! Congrats and welcome home. And good luck on shopping for more welcome home points.

Thank you! We really liked how different they are from one another. We're both foodies and the food at both checked the boxes, plenty of options and the two most delicious buffets we had.

Loved the souvenir shopping at blt and the fireworks view from the room. Loved the room artwork and it really seemed the most "Disney" themed deluxe hotel out of them all. When considering direct membership, the only hotel with the lounge inside really spoke to us.

Animal kingdom jambo pool we really enjoyed. The cast members at both were excellent. Dues at BLT and longer contract was great. The only box it didn't check was the pool and that's okay that's what akv is for. Akv dues were justified by seeing the lovely animals and sunsets every morning. Loved that it didn't seem crowded at either. Wanted to own one monorail, one ak and hope to own one epcot resort and don't want a 2042 resort so that's where riv appeals to us. Again with the great food options at Riv.

We are extremely happy with how this has all panned out so far. We have a BLT theme park view one bedroom booked for September as a backup in case we don't get to stay at Poly. That's a pretty good backup if you ask me it will be hard to let it go

Thanks for sharing your thought process. Love how you sorted out foodie options and AKL for pool stays. This is an excellent example of figuring out if DVC works for you and which resort(s) to buy.

For sharing purposes, we also bought BLT for the theme park views and short walk to MK. The pool at BLT isn't great theming compared to the other properties, but for us its super relaxing hanging out in a lounge chair looking out across the lake. Also, no worries about folks pool hopping to BLT. Its seldom crowded. Totally agree with the AKL pools. Those are fantastic.

Youre welcome! To be fair, we actually haven't gone to the pool at BLT yet, I didn't realize you could see the lake from there, that is definitely a plus!

One of our rooms actually had a view of the pool and we loved it even more than the marina view surprisingly. Made us really happy and fun to see the Mickeys light up at night, really made us feel like we were at Disney! Hard to describe but really felt comfortable and like home to us from the start!

I think they go off vibes because I told the guide poly was too crowded and at the time when I didn't know much about resale restrictions I told him I didn't like how it was part of poly og and expiring sooner, I thought that was a way to rip us off of more years

Hopefully more people push back on the number of years remaining for PVB (2066). Maybe it could result in Disney wanting to sell out PVB sooner and give it really good discounts like VGF (2064) had.

Yeah as someone uninformed about everything, when the guide told us that it was expiring in 2066, I was like wow they're introducing something new and grouping it with people that got to enjoy longer and cheaper, then screwing us new people over with less years, the Riviera is better
