Must get Hawaii points! Must get Hawaii points!...

This is too exciting! We're at BWV now and my guide called yesterday and asked me if we had used our points through II to go to Hawaii. Told her no because we own at Ko'Olina with Marriott. She then proceded to engage me in a conversation about the area, and other Hawaiian properties as she and her husband were interested in going there.

The property is stunning. Marriott had originally intended to build a Ritz there, so maybe they sold it to Disney. Now we'll be able to extend our week at Ko'Olina buy using DVC points in addition to our MVC.

I can say one thing, I spoke to my guide yesterday, she said they are preparing for brisk sales at DLR for west coast visitors. Both Hawaii and GCH will really boost sales.

Before I get too excited, willl be interested to see how the points chart looks.
I wonder how many nights in a one-bedroom my 360 points will get me????

OMG...I take one day off from the DIS and see what happens?!?!?

This is GREAT news! We will stay, but not buy.

thats what you get for leaving for a day

nowadays you never what is going to happen

 

[byoung]

We will be going for sure.

 

[Tarheel Tink]

We would definitely visit!

I guess if my exchange for 2008 Kauai doesn't come through I'll just wait until 2011 and try out our newest resort. I love that we'll have another choice for vacationing.

Okay, people. Honestly, for numbers sake, how many buyers on the DIS Boards? How many of you are willing to say that other than a once or twice visit, you would be willing to buy into a home resort in Hawaii with the owner's 11 month window on the west coast?
As much as we are sending a "yippee"... is that what you were hoping to add to your Disney Vacation Club opportinities?
I am really just asking, because, I never saw the some place other than a Disney Vacation as an option, unless I planned far enough ahead to trade out...

I would definately buy here and I am an east coaster. I have no problem making it my home resort as I know I will always be able to get something back at WDW pretty much whenever I wanted either with my AKV or SSR points or with my HI points at 7 months.

Might buy these just to use in HI and alternate on off with HHI and/or VB.

thats the great thing about DVC, in my opinion, if you dont want to visit anywhere outside of WDW with your points, then you certainly dont have to as there are enough options there, but now we will have 4 very good alternatives outside of WDW that people can take advantage of.

Honestly? Nooooo, no add-on for us. We may visit once, but that would probably be it.

Yah! Me too! I went on vacation for a few days and lookie here! We went from hot rumor to announcement! Cool!


I'm an East Coaster and would not buy points and may only visit once.

Count us in...just had a long talk with the extended family yesterday at a family get together and even with a family 1bdrm condo in Honolulu, this is a definite add on.

count us in for GCV also, even if we live 30 minutes away from DLR.

 

[Flyerfan]

No add on here. It's nice to know it will be there when we want to visit. Quite honestly, for the amount of time it would take for us to fly one way (from driving to airport thru arriving at destination resort), we could DRIVE to Florida (our preferred choice of travel). However, it's great news for west-coasters and those who frequently vacation in Hawaii.

 

[DVC Mike]

I used to vacation every year in Hawaii when I lived in California. When I moved to North Carolina in 2003, I took my first trip from the East Coast. It just takes too long to get there from here! I haven't been to Hawaii since.

I won't do any add-on in Hawaii, but would probably take a trip there in the future.

 

[epicureangirl]

I would do a small add on here, enough for a week every other year in a two bedroom. My in-laws fell in love with Ko Olina, so I know a larger family trip there would be well recieved. Or, we could alternate years with them in a 1 bedroom perhaps? Anyhow, I don't see me breaking the bank for a large contract here, but I would really want the booking advantage. I wouldn't be surprised if the contracts were attractive to the (heaven forbid) commercial renters, as Hawaii is a popular destination year-round. I have to wait to see what the point schedule and price looks like. If it is in line with the other resorts, then I don't see anything holding me back. Since I don't imagine a lot of East Coasters will want to buy Hawaii, I might be able to reservation swap with another DVC'r? Who knows. So excited about this announcement though!
