Future of ROFR

[a742246]

Although VGF is a beautiful resort, it may not be the perfect fit for everyone. The $ cost & point cost is higher than other resorts. A lot of people buy where they want to stay and length of contract does not always weigh in as heavily as you might think. At least, it did not for us. We are thrilled to be new owners at BWV & BCV. We love those resorts & simply that's where we want to stay.

I understand your reasoning "buy where you want to stay" but BC and/or BVW
have 28 years left on a contract and GF has 50 years and they are all the same selling price more or less. (However, in reality GF will be almost 50% less, since GF cost per point spanned over 50 years instead of 28 years will be almost 50% less) My guess most new "direct" buyers will choose GF. Thus demand for the other older resorts should subside which will effect Disney's ROFR.
I own and love BVW too, but if I were to buy direct from Disney right now I would choose GF.

Valid point. I think the demand may be more for small add-ons than new, larger contracts for older resorts via direct sales. These small contracts are very hard to find via resale, specific UY, demand is high, price difference is a savings but not necessarily huge, & many simply want to stay at Epcot resorts. I think as Disney continues to raise their prices, resale prices will continue to increase.
