Doesn't it seem like al ot of folks have signed up for VWL

[pharmlivin]

in the past few days? I guess the impending price hike has something to do with it. I know it motivated me. At this rate I don't think VWL will last until the end of the year.

I just got off the phone with Byron and we did an add-on at VWL. We haven't even received the deed yet for the first points we purchased a few weeks ago! The price increase really motivated us to make a move now. Now I have to sit back and wait for things to be finalized! I have a feeling others will be motivated too. We just love the VWL!!!

I,m guilty also. We just did an add on yesterday. We thought long and hard about waiting for the BCV, but really thought it was too much the same location as BWV, and for a change of pace went with VWL. I guess the increase also pushed us over the edge. Oh well. More points AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yep--I added 50 points at VWL this past week... My guide was saying she didn't think they were going to have points left come the fall! Also mentioned something about trying to presell Beach Club... Either that or retire early if all she could sell was VB and HH.

We added 250 point at WLV to take advantage of the old Magical Beginings.

We were going to wait for BCV, it seemed the logical choice. We stayed on cash at VWL 12/00 and loved the setting. Finally decided to buy with our heart rather than our brain. Maybe we will buy our brain a BCV add on in a year or two
(if he behaves).

I'm hoping it does not sell out before October. I have just added on 70 points at Vero and would love to add on at VWL, but DH says no!
So I hoping if he sees them I can change his mind.

We weren't going to be stuck saying "should've" again. We missed out in Nov. when we decided not to purchase at BW; but after staying at VWL last month, we LOVE it and are glad it's our home (as of yesterday!!) What's that saying...there's no place like home....

Here we go...........

I got 150 pts in February and planned to add 100 in June. Due to the price increase, I went ahead and (what the heck) ordered another 150. And I am still thinking about 150 at BCV when it opens.

Debbie mentioned Old Magical Beginnings, what is that? I am new to these boards and was doing a search on VWL to look for info before buying and found this thread.

Thanks

Even when I was buying the OKW resale, I figured that one day I would add-on at VWL. I love the lodge and that setting.

I didn't think that I would add-on this soon but, yes, with the feeling that it would sell out before the end of the year, I decided that I needed to go ahead. Then with the price increase coming, if I was going to buy anyway, there was no logical reason to wait until the price went up.

I feel that although very different, that VWL will be like BWV in that when it is sold out, it will be important to have the 11 month booking window. I think you will be able to get in after the 11 month mark but might not the dates or number of days you are wanting. Just a feeling on my part.

Hi, I received a letter from DVC concerning VWL. They state in the letter they " the resort will be sold out in the upcoming months"
I have a copy of this letter, if anyone wants a copy e-mail me and I will fax it to you!
I added on in April at VWL.

We just did our add on last week...yes, the price increase was a motivator! And it is sounding like VWL won't be around for long (for sale through Disney, I mean....) so that's sort of a motivation too. When we were originally considering DVC we were planning to wait for VWL to join, but decided to join at BWV...glad we did, but also glad we did the add on. Now we just have to actually use our points....our first DVC trip isn't until January!

We originally bought at VWL in December. We want a add-on and plan on doing it on our August trip. We also got a letter last week about the price increase, but being in New York, it only offered us HH or VB. The add-on will be another $210 in August. It looks now like we will have to "pony" up the increase.

Lizzie- The Magical Beginninnings program used to allow you to sell back to Disney one half of the first year's use of your points at $10 a point. For example: You bought 400 points. Disney buys back 200 of them(just for the first year) You get a credit of $2000 to put towards your down payment.
In April they changed the program. Now they will buy all of the first year's points, but at $5 a point. If you buy 400 points, you can still get the $2000 down but will have to fork over use of all 400 points your first year.
If you are seriously looking to buy, do it before the price increase!
