DVC or bust

[jade1]

We just returned from our trip a couple weeks ago. Our first day there we went to Disney Springs and my hubby decided to talk to the DVC guy while I was shopping. When I came out of the store, he said we could go over to hear the presentation if I wanted to. We had nothing else going on and they did give us each 3 fastpasses for almost any attraction we wanted. So we did it. There's really no pressure at all...we never felt pressured. We did end up buying, so we were there for a few hours. I recommend going and asking any questions that you have.

Good for you.

POLY is looking very nice with the main and leisure pool upgrades. The views are kinda blocked with the bungalows (unless you are planning those) but still, having the booking advantage will be very nice to have at POLY, and possible trade bait and easy to rent IMO.

Hi - I'm really on the fence here that's why I really need to see what I'm investing in. Another question for me seems to be the expiration year. so 2042 is a long way away but it still looms much closer than say the dates for SS or Poly. What exactly is going to happen when all the timeshares at OKW expire in 2042? tear it down. build a new one? give owners the option to purchase again?

We don't know what will happen for any of the resorts other than OKW will be open in some capacity or the other. I wouldn't let 2042 alone deter you, just consider the relative value of each options. Realize that the end years represents both lower value and increased risk done now.

Getting a feel for the resort is one thing, checking out the location, views, amenities is suggested but staying in the rooms is even better. Some of the rooms and DVC areas were really run down, the positive is that after years of neglect, the management company has decided to work on almost all of the DVC rooms to fix them up.

That is good to hear...
One if the reasons I sold was due to some pretty shabby room experiences.

The weird thing about OKW is what will happen with those owners who are sticking it out till 2057? Will Disney still rent some of the property for cash or shutter some of the buildings? Regardless, it won't affect me - my ownership interest will have expired.

Heck, I may be expired, let alone my ownership interest.
