If you own a 2042 resort, what do you plan to do when it expires?

[bk1273]

Just curious if those who owns any of 2042 resorts have thought about what they will do when the time comes. Sell beforehand? Let it expire and move on? Or buy into something else?

Chain myself to the hilton head quick service counter - obviously.

I’m running my BWV and BCV in to the ground! Will be making full use of the cheap point charts until the contracts expire… I have other contracts which extend beyond 2042 though so not too worried! It will be nice to have a dues reduction when they expire

We'll enjoy our 2042 points for as long as we can use them and get nice rooms! We'll wait and see if there are any options Disney offers towards the expiration, but we're just fine letting the contract expire and spending more time at our 2057 resort!!

They did the extension for OKW but that seems like a one off that wont happen anymore. Disney can make more money be reselling new contracts with a new points chart. So people will buy in or do something else I guess. Tangentially related question, does OKW stay open for owners of other resorts to book after 2042? In theory some 2042 contracts expire, maybe Disney just rents them or tries to sell through 2057?

I would imagine they suspend borrowing at the end, because the obvious strategy is to borrow the last year and then not pay the last dues, with nothing to foreclose. If that happens, it could be very hard to spend these down well at the end.

We have staggered expiration dates with our contracts. BRV will fall off first and I will cry because it’s my favorite. We planned this to offer us flexibility after retirement. Lakeshore Lodge might be our BRV replacement.

I've thought about this, maybe they could force payment of the annual dues in advance for 2041 in order to unlock borrowing of those points?

As for OP, I'd probably be saving up to buy in at Beach Club/Boardwalk if they were to offer it again

By the time my BCV and BRV expire I doubt I will have the funds to buy anything newer but luckily I have my SSR points to last me for a few more years after.

I think they might not only suspend borrowing, but increase the home resort period so owners have more time to stay at their home resort.

One thing they might be able to do is to make everyone’s last year of points Feb UY so everyone gets the full 12 months…not sure if they could pull that off legally.

 

[LittleBitGoofy]

We'll keep our BCV contracts to the bitter end and then look forward to buying the wildly overpriced BCV2 for 2043!

 

[lovin'fl]

Let it go...let it go...
Yeah, will just go to the end and walk away.

I'm not sure what I'm going to have for lunch today, much less what I'm going to do in 16 years. lol

This. Unless i need the money or can't go anymore, I will be keeping them till expiration.

That would make sense.

Because of UY? (shouldn't affect your vacation window... should it??)

That would make a lot of sense... also the option to roll them over into a new contract for the same property/location.

Still pretty far off. I imagine the people at Disney that will make the decisions on what they are going to do, aren't even working for Disney yet. We plan on enjoying Beach Club as much as we can! And then we'll wait and see what Disney decides to do.

 

[Dobermanns]

Our contract at BCV is only a small one, and we own at multiple resorts, so I think I will just keep it till the end.

 

[PlutoNotThePlanet]

My parents own at BWV and VB. I think they plan to keep until the end and then cease being owners, but I may encourage them to dump their VB contract early as the dues are pretty high. If they offer an extension (unlikely) on BWV they may take it.

 

[TCRAIG]

I own at 4 of the 2042 resorts (HH, BW, BC and BRV) and will continue to go for as long as I’m able - I have points at BLT, SS, PIT and GF if I’m still up and about after 2042…(I’ll be 85 then)…

We’ll be in our 90s, so we’re just hoping to be around in 2042 to find out what happens!

But in case we don’t make it, we added DD to our contracts so that our ownership won’t have to go through probate in Florida. She can use it or rent out the points until it expires. I don’t think she’s interested in owning DVC beyond that - although it’s possible that might change after toddler DGD’s first visit next month .

I have a 300 point contract at BC that I plan on selling in 2025 as I redistribute my points. We love the BCV, and plan on staying there till it ends. However, I just put in ROFR for a 100 point PVB contract and a 150 point contract at BCV paid by selling the larger BCV contract.
