Being new to this world, I have had to google
acronyms many times since joining these boards.

I am kind of over having multiple contracts even if within the same use year, so I was considering selling CCV 100 and buying 150-175 elsewhere.

Should I slow my roll and just wait to see how I like my trip in August at Wilderness Lodge?
Should I go with my heart and go for it with BWV?
Should I make the best financial choice in BLT since it is walkable to MK and that is huge for us.
Should I just keep CCV, book what I can at BW at 7 months and pony up for Minnie Vans to MK?
Is there is a resort thats a good compromise you think Id love and should consider over BW or BLT?

With all that said I am needing to plan a trip in a 2 bedroom for Feb 2026 so if Im buying BLT/BWV I would like to hopefully get in before 7 months hits.

The always wins....

MB = Magical Beginnings. If you buy 150+ direct points at an Active resort you can sell back your first year's points for $20/pt and get a check from Mickey a few weeks after closing. Doesn't apply to "sold out" resorts even if they're still selling and doesn't work on resale, of course.

Never heard of this. We bought 300 Riviera points direct back in February of 2024 and I think by October, had reservations for most of them! If it was an option in later years, that'd be nice! lol

If you needed the points then no need to do MB. Would be great if they had this options later on in ownership.

Yea, we used them. I doubt knowing about MB would have changed our plans any. If we add another home resort, i might do it in the future since we will have other points to use and by then, the newness of DVC will have worn off.

Woo hoo! Details please!

Woo hoo! Details please!

Twas an interesting negotiation, took 6 days to actually go to contract. I learned that not all points in a members account are eligible to be transferred to the new owner when sold. In this instance I guess DVC made an exception for the member regarding the banked points and that made them ineligible for transfer.

As soon as they submit to ROFR Im going to post it, dont want to jinx myself! Interesting tidbit bit on that too! In all my previous purchases I never posted until going to ROFR and I never changed my signature until closing out fear of jinxing myself (Im a weird one). This time I was sitting around at my sons 2 hour practice, I had gotten all caught up here on the DIS and had nothing to do so I went over and created my ROFR string. I had a momentary don't jinx yourself thought and was like "eh it will be fine". So I created it and saved it to my notes. Low and behold I jinxed myself! The next day I found out it would have less points due to all the points not being eligible for transfer.

Interesting… new one to me that some points can’t be transferred. Could it be that maybe they are already transferred from another membership (although why anyone would do that before selling I don’t know).

Look forward to seeing the details and how much of a bargain you got… knowing you it will be like $50 pp.

I wish. Cant say I didnt try though.

I am wondering if they just made something up instead of saying they were wrong in the points. But the words they used were DVC made an exception for those points so they aren't transferable. I took that to mean maybe they were past the banking deadline and DVC allowed them to still be banked...
