Favorite Week VS Small Contract

[VGCgroupie]

I say CCV over Poly for FW. FW for a 2 bed only makes sense if it during Christmas time. Also, I would only buy if you would use it.

I have three children, I like the idea of having one contract for each if we ever wanted to pass them down.

Just keep in mind that if each child gets a 100-point contract, none of them will be eligible for Membership Extras, assuming DVC doesn’t change the rules requiring them each to own enough points to qualify under the rules in effect when the contract was originally purchased, which currently is of course 150 points.

I am debating on adding on direct at either Poly or CCV with the current round of incentives. We are going to pull the trigger on the 9th so we are locked into this round but can take a peak at the next round as well. We are a family of 5 ( twin girls just turned 1 and a 5 year old son). We are either going to be staying in 1 or two bedrooms.

Would you rather a favorite week in a 1 bedroom at Poly or a favorite week in a 2 bedroom CCV? Third option is splitting the contract into three 100 point contracts. The splitting is the option I am leaning towards but would like perspectives from the board to see if I may be overlooking something. Thanks!

100x3 CCV

But if they cared enough they would only need to purchase a small amount… and if not 100 would be a nice bonus to sell. (Is it possible to sell it or to decline so a sibling could get it?)

Typing this from my CCV 1 BR! I'm giving some serious thought to adding on 300 direct CCV points too, although just 2 children (and definitely no more ). I've thought a little bit about doing 2 FW studios in early December plus a small contract to get to 300, but the thing is, I have absolutely zero interest in ever staying in a studio. So, the only purpose would be as a resale hedge. I'd be cancelling it every year and using the points to book 1 or 2 BRs. At the moment, I'm not quite convinced of the benefits of a resale hedge, particularly at a non-restricted resort. I'm honestly not sure most resale buyers even understand what they are - I suppose that could change in the future. And, with the new $500 CAF, I'm feeling much more indifferent about trying to break any points purchase up into smaller increments than I really personally need. So, if I end up buying 300, I imagine I'm just going to to do 2x150.

So, unless you have really do see yourself using the FW, I just don't see much reason to do it. And, I would also have some hesitation about a 1 or 2 BR FW and whether that would be more difficult to sell, than 3x100 contracts. So, I'd say go for the 3x100 option.

You would have really liked it these past few days! The coldest weather in FL in over 10 years, I'm told. Of course, my kids were both swimming in the pool yesterday - with temps in the mid-50s .

When i read you were there, it instantly brought a smile to my face. Currently calculating i think it would be great to have this resort with my akv dec uy!

I personally don’t think one should buy a FW unless they know they might want to use it, even occasionally.

I would think CCV might be harder than PVB in larger units for December…but PVB is still too new to know for sure.

I also would expect that the CCV incentives will go away the next round as it’s a sold out resort so if that is something you are considering at all, I might lock that in, either as FW or three contracts.

PVB is in active sales so incentives of some kind will still be there.
