Doorway to Dead End?

Travel Shower caddy, maybe?

Has what looks like a clothes hanger hook coming out the top?

Haha no it's canvas, with a couple of pockets, and a little keychain hook that snaps on.

This has all been very interesting reading. I can only see DVC/DVD being in the drivers seat the way it's set up and from the history, but who knows.

I don't think your comparison is fair. A fixed cost like closing costs, on every new contract, is far different from a limited time incentive program that is clearly designed to be offered for a specific time period and then disappear. I don't think anyone would go back and say they deserved an incentive that had expired two weeks before they purchased - most people know that incentives come and go. But closing costs that have never been reduced or waived for a single buyer are different, and I think if someone did manage to get them waived, all of the other buyers who heard about it would be within their rights to go back and try to get a refund of their closing costs. Just my opinion, of course - it's what I would do in that situation.

It seems to me that DVC sales are strong - I think I recently read that SSR is 90% sold out, and AKV seems to be selling well. As far as the developer points, isn't there some sort of need to offer people something in order to get them to buy units that aren't even available to be booked yet? I thought that was the purpose of the developer points deal, but maybe I'm mistaken. At any rate, I don't think DVC has seen much of a slowdown, if at all. Kingdom Towers will sell out quickly, I believe, and the California property is so small I think it will sell well, too. I don't know about Hawaii.

It's fine to disagree - but your opinion isn't any more "right" than mine is.

I also think that DVC sales are pretty strong right now.

In terms of offering incentives, I also believe that is far different than negotiating price or closing costs. Call it arrogant, call it consistent, but DVC does not negotiate. I have yet to read anywhere that they have.

If we were first buying in to DVC as new members I would, however we aren't in that situation.

Does this mean you are a member already? If so what deal did you get for yourself?

Thanks.

Soooo ... has *anyone* been able to get Disney to cover the closing costs for new purchases after the change?

I've NEVER, EVER seen ANYONE report/post being able to make a better deal with DVC than the one offered for the location they're at. NEVER. Not here, not at any of the other DVC forums, not in face to face conversations with other owners. Not anywhere or from anyone.

No covering closing costs. No sweetheart financing deals, beyond those offered to everyone. No capitulation for a WDW buyer to get the DL or DTD deals/incentives being offered, short of forcing them to GO to those locations to get them. Nothing.

IF it's ever happened, I'd like to hear about it, too.

Anyone?

I don't think that buying AKV resale is that great a deal right now. Unless you are able to get a small add on at resale. The price difference will not be that significant. The closing costs might be higher with resale. You will also have to wait longer for your points.

If you buy direct from DVC, you will receive your points as soon as you pay your deposit. If it is an add on, there are no closing costs. If it is an initial buy in, there are incentives that will get the price down to resale level.

You are 100% right and that is what I am planning to buy the DVC from Disney on my next WDW trip this Christmas. I would even fly down if they have decent incentive again.

I'm with you on this, which is why I asked.

That said, I did get some ice cream.

Oh, and some lemonade and cookies.

I sorta figured...but wanted to substantiate where you were going with the question (not that it wasn't obvious!).

And I'm completely missing the ice cream direction we're taking (other than the amusing, as always, comment rinkwide made)....

Or are we referring to the snacks they give out when you take a tour? That just dawned on me....

On the Ice Cream, it's the post-tour treat where you get to make your own sundae ... they let me get one for now and one to go.

And, on the snacks, that's exactly what I was referring to. Muffins, Mint Milano's, and Lemonade ... yummy.
