Hard time deciding when to purchase

[tx911]

We've known we wanted more points for Disneyland trips for a while because we know we want to be in 1-bedrooms as much as possible. But we really thought we'd just do more VGC resale. For a while I thought we might do just 50 VGC (resale or direct, whichever showed up.) But then we thought 75-100 would probably be better.

Then someone here, maybe AstroBlasters, pointed out how long VDH is priced direct, even compared to resale VGC. So that's when I started shifting toward that.

We weren't super "sold" on the idea until we were able to tour it in December. I was super worried about the extra walk. I still think I won't necessarily care for the walk, but I don't think it's as big of a drawback as I originally thought.

I just hope I don't have trouble getting a 1-bedroom for a week each year...mostly in June. I can't really "walk" it much either since June is our UY.

Maybe you get the 1BR you want at VGC by banking or borrowing.

The points at VDH will unlock all the member perks that I know you feel like you don't care about, but trust me you will really appreciate having. Plus you will be able to use them at Riv and LSL at 7 months. Then there's Disneyland Forward to consider. I think VDH seems like a great move for you, and it's cool that it is so different from VGC.

My memory is a little fuzzy on that. It sure felt like longer than one day.

I went on the boards and asked if people thought vdh was
right for me, they said yes, so I was like okay and then it was a smooth transaction with no other thought. That is my recollection. I didn't need a thread with thousands of posts to help me along the way.

That six months no interest on the Disney visa makes the pill a whole lot easier to swallow. I agree there’s a fine line between anxiety and excitement and I’m frequently a little freaked out in the first few days after a purchase. But without exception I end up being very happy about it in the end.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be happy about it!

One day...but 1000 posts.

We should be able to get a 1-bedroom for both our VGC and our VDH trips. We'll have 160 points at each so with alternating years, it basically gives us 320 for each trip. Plenty for 1 week in a 1 bedroom at our preferred times.

I can see us definitely checking out LSL some day. And I'd like to stay at Ft. Wilderness Cabins sometime. We used to have a camper and sometimes I really miss that campground feeling.

It was easier for me because I had no interest in vgc

Yeah...it wasn't great when we bought, pricewise. But better than current prices, for sure! We got 160 points for $235 a point.

I was told 45 days to spread out the payments. I didn't request an extension on that, but can confirm that 45 days is what they said the max was earlier this month. They said they were totally happy to spread payments over multiple cards to hit the spend bonuses.

Sorry your guide is out, that is certainly not ideal when you are ready to make a decision.

I can confirm this. We bought yesterday and were told the same thing.
