So I never even considered buying prior to today but then I saw that and was like “hmmm, I mean I could probably buy 25 points and my husband wouldn’t even notice, such a teeny tiny little splurge.” But yeah, it gets you like one night a year so I’ll probably be able to resist.
This is how I started talking myself into a small contract…but I think Poly2 will take a few years to sell out. I don’t think any resale contracts are going to be above $200 at Poly for several years…maybe if you have a prime fixed week you could do a bit better, but then it’s not a tiny contract.
I agree with you on greedy sellers, but also I am not certain they will start slashing prices now. Some of them who want/need to sell probably will drop into the $170s or lower (if I was looking to sell PVB this year I’d cut to $170 and try to sell above $160 immediately), but others might be more opportunistic, only willing to part with PVB at all if they could get at least $180/190/200 whatever number they penciled out in their heads.
My thoughts exactly. I think BLT is probably going to get a bounce as some people “waiting for Poly” decide that they’re willing to take 90% of the Disney magic for 60-75% of the DVC points (and a more convenient location for MK). If incentives are mediocre then it could actually trend up quickly. If I didn’t have more WDW points than I needed already, I probably would have bought BLT points this summer.
This is exactly what I expect to happen. People will buy thinking they have enough points for a standard view or maybe preferred view, only to realize those options go very, very quickly, and they either have to stay in longhouses or take much shorter trips with TPV. I would expect the standard view rooms to require walking and stalking to even start a walk for much of the year, especially during the next year or two when you’re competing with commercial renters trying to extract profit from the new tower smell.
This is partly which I expected such a high
point chart for TPV rooms (am I the only Disboards poster who expected TPV to be even higher?)— Disney knows renters have been cannibalizing its Deluxe hotel bookings and putting downward pressure on what they can charge at premier properties. They don’t want people to be able to rent a theme park view 1 bedroom under $1000 a night for a big profit— requiring more points will mean a renter needs to charge more.
too much work
