Point Bloat/Inflation?

Yes you are right.

I guess my mind was more in the mindset of what someone could normally just buy.

If you were really set on one of the fixed weeks for the resorts where it was offered you could be awaiting for years before the specific week you want comes up.

Totally fair. I'm not actively shopping so I don't know what's on resale sites at the moment, but yes your point stands - if you want a FW at any given time, very likely direct from Disney is the only way to get it.

How big was it?

I remember this too, as I recall it was a week 52 Ocean View Grand Villa, so it was on the order of 1200 points.

And they were after about $99pp.

I like to imagine I could afford that and spend the holiday week in Hawaii every year... then reality hits. ;-)

I know nothing about Aulani... Is an OV GV a difficult booking?

Christmas Week (52) maybe but it is a points goblin. Probably don't need a fixed week, just gobs of points. By having it as a FW with all points needed it is a hard thing to re sell.
