*IF* we pass ROFR (big if)

[WannaDVC]

the UY is September. I'll want to add on at some point, but at AKV (most likely) so how does the use year thing work on two contracts? Is it better to have the points all coming around the same time, or does it even matter? Still trying to get everything straight...

If you add on through Disney, they will make you have the same use year as your master contract unless you purchase a minimum of 150 points additional. If you buy resale, you can choose whatever you want, but be forewarned that tracking more than one use year gets a bit more complex than just tracking one.

The last sentence is the key....keeping things straight. As Diane said, having multiple UYs does call for a bit more organization and thinking. We have two contracts with two UYs and that means two different banking deadlines, etc.

I would say that if you can get everything the same UY, it is a nice benefit. Not critical, but it does simplify things. And as Diane pointed out, if you buy at AKV, Disney will give you the same UY anyway.

Right of First Refusal. If you buy from anyone other than Disney, your offer must be submitted to Disney. Disney has the right to substitute itself for the buyer, with all other terms of the offer remaining the same. So seller is out nothing and the prospecitve buyer must lok for another contract.

So sometimes, negotiating a low price for a contract does you no good. Your offer must be good enough to get past Disney.
