What is the secret to getting into the 3+ resorts that haven’t been opened yet?

Don’t think Lakeside Lodge and 2 or more other resorts will be open by 2045?

circles me back to direct

Mission accomplished from Disney's perspective.

Sure does make it a tempting resale purchase for some of us though. Although, I'm out of the points accumulation phase at this time.

I'm not.

Waiting 20 years He said "imagine in 2045." One will be finished soon and I'm sure a couple more will be built by then.

Totally missed that part lol

@stat pointed that I missed the imagine portion. Sorry about that.

Especially true when the older resorts starting disappearing in 16 more years.
Imagine 2045:
Direct points are good at 20+ resorts.
For all the newest resorts with longest contracts, re-sale will be 1 resort only.
“Original” resort resale points will be valid at only about 9 resorts, 3 of which having under 15 years left on contract. And all the newest resorts excluded.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Disney eventually adopt more standardized buy back programs during periods of reduced new building. (I can imagine VDL and Lakeside Lodge carrying sales to 2030… but then a slowdown in the 2030’s awaiting massive re-building in the 2040’s).

Nobody should be purchasing for what would be 16-20 years from now when it comes to what will be available for you to book. You could no longer be interested in going to Disney, you may no longer be physically able to attend the parks, your children or grand children might not be the fans of the parks that you are and sadly any of us could be dead at that point. There are good cases to be made for deciding on direct over resale, but where you can book 20 years from now isn't one of them
