Long time lurker, first time poster here haha
My husband and I have been going to Disney World together since 2005. Added kids into the mix in 2014 and have been going almost yearly as a family, while I try to go about 2-3 times a year either with friends or my daughter!
Well after 10+ years of discussing DVC and trying to make the math work, my husband gave me the ok to go ahead with resale!! I’ve been searching for a small Poly contract 50-75 to get our feet wet so to speak, with a spring use year as we always travel in May/June during the kids summer break. (And yes I know about Poly 2).
About a week and a half ago I found a 70 point contract with a February use year and my husband said jump on it, so I put in an offer in. I then noticed there were two identical contracts listed with exact same points and use years. When I spoke with the broker she said it was the same seller and did I want to put an offer in on both. I casually mentioned it to my husband just knowing he would say no. But he said go ahead and put an offer on both of them, you said that 70 wasn’t enough point anyways!! So I did and they were both accepted!!
They went into ROFR on March 28, so the waiting game continues….
Last week I continued to browse the resale sites(addonitis is so real) and I found a 100 point BC contract with February year use. I know BC is not a good value due to the shorter contract, but our kids LOVE that resort and the pool! The Epcot area is our favorite and we love being able to walk to both Epcot and Hollywood! I put in an offer for considerably less than what they were asking, thinking that they would probably say no. But I knew I would feel bad had I not even tried. Surprisingly the seller excepted my offer! It went into ROFR on 04/02 and the torture has now truly begun. I know my chances of it passing ROFR are probably less than 30%, so I’m trying not to get my hopes up…But I’m not doing a good job by the way…sigh…
It’s super exciting to think about jumping into DVC headfirst owning at both a monorail resort and one within walking distance of Epcot and HK.
Y’all send some good vibes our way for passing ROFR and speedily please!!

Mine all having February use years is what sold me to go ahead and put in the offer on BCV. I know it will make things much easier in the future. That’s an awesome Poly contract BTW!
