Oh my gosh same here. I actually won't be that sad if mine gets taken because as I sit here waiting I'm thinking, man I don't want to do this again in a few years - I better buy a bigger contract! Ha.

Me too! I’m at work with my DVC co worker and she is explains some of the crazy contracts I recently have seen. I said to my husband last night “what the heck am I going to do once I finally get one?” Then I said I know trip planning!

At this point I know more about buying/selling/resale DVC than my DVC coworker. She bought in back in the 90's (an original SSR and BWV owner) so she hasn't really had to think much about it.

Good luck— hopefully third time will be a charm!

That’s funny my coworker also bought in the 90’s then again at VGF direct.

I have a spreadsheet and have a 200 point fully loaded BLT under contract now and looking for another 100-200 point contract at AKV or possibly somewhere else. I am pretty sure, I can use them separately for a while especially BLT (if it passes). In that case, do you think it's really no big deal? I may down the road need to transfer here and there, but my thought is to keep them separate. Do you keep your resorts separate? This would be our FIRST membership.

I've yet to combine points my different UY's. Honestly, I don't think I can unless I get a nice CM because I am always using my 1 transfer per year with other members either in or out. I think if you kept them separate, it would save some headaches and frustration. If you think you might want to combine at 7 months, then I would suggest staying within the same UY.

I started trying to put together a spreadsheet, but it seemed too complicated (for now). I am also using my resorts separately - 2 home resorts, 2 UY. Right now, I am thinking about roughly when we want to go to WDW and for how long, and looking at what's available in each contract. We will have at least 4 trips under our belt before we are even thinking about switching at 7 months, which is reassuring to me that we chose the right resorts for us. Currently thinking about trip #3 to BLT on our BLT points, and no desire to switch at 7 mo; planning trip #1 on our VGF points, and thinking about when (not where) we will use VGF points again - is Christmas 2019 too soon to go back? LOL. I don't seem to ever have leftover points to transfer or rent - my mindset seems to have switched pretty quickly to: How do I use ALL my points each year?

I try not to check more than every 2-3 hours.

Ha! I find it helps to find something to do when you can't check your phone for a while - because it always seems like the email comes in then.

Congrats! My AKL contract was sent on 4/24 too. Maybe this means I’ll hear back soon

Congrats!

We submitted our contract at about the same time so hopefully we get some news either way.

I just got an email from my broker!!!!!

It was new listings before they hit the website .

Oh well, I'll just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, waiting, waiting, waiting and hoping, hoping, hoping.

 

[tinks624]

Day 26 still no word

 

[Thumper729]

Day 25 here and crickets.... I submitted mine 4/16- I just checked with my broker and she said Disney has been very slow and she still hasn't heard back from about 10 contracts submitted on 4/16-4/17. I sure hope Disney doesn't take all of those

 

[Mumof4mice]

I’ll PM you once my kids get off to school shortly.

Please PM me too Master TexasChick!

AKL just had a rehab not long ago, so doubtful on that spec.

Will add that to my list of reasons I think he is wrong. XD

 

[krw1243]

Not sure that is the case as they have lots of points available for purchase already. One theory people speculate is OTU bonus points with new purchases

OTU?

ETA: NVM, should of read further, someone already asked this. Please ignore.

Well, I just had $139/pp 150 points sent to ROFR a week ago, so I'll let you know!

You would think Disney would buy back something they could flip for $81/pp in a heartbeat, but it was almost completely stripped of 2018 points. It's weird to me they're not buying it back, as my guide said recently there's a mile-long waitlist for Poly.

They say that, but then they tried to sell us some Poly, which they "just discovered they had in inventory" when it was approaching the end of our trip with our DVC meeting and hadn't purchased yet. We couldnt swallow the direct price for the poly, but seems it can magically become available if needed.
