Too many!

No such thing

I'm not even an owner yet and already have addonitis!

 

[Drewferin]

Lol... I believe RoFR makes you wish you had a contract 10 to 20% bigger. I'm glad I'm through closing but now I have addonitis. Even my wife thinks we should hold find a 25 to 50 add on.

I know how you feel. I told my DH that we needed 150 more points (to make it even to split among the kids). The first contract I bid on was 170 pts. and I ended up with 160 (the kids will just have to deal with it). I kind of wished I had won the bid on the 170, but this is a better contract for us with UY and double points for '18.

I first started looking at 100 to 120 point contracts. Than I moved up to looking at 150 to 160 point contracts. And finally bought a 180 point contract. Think 200 points would have been most ideal... A family 5 just needs more points...

This is my 3rd add-on bringing us to a total of 410 pts. My kids are grown with one out of the house and one in college. We are planning a week at VB in March to take the kids and DS's girlfriend. That will use up almost of the 2018 pts we are getting in the new add-on and what we have left (not much). For the first time in a long time I won't have to borrow points to go on vacation.

We are deliberately planning on two 150-pt contracts for that very reason. Purchasing one soon, planning on the other in about 3 years.

We started with 150, then added 50, then added 50 with the original plan to add 50 more. I then decided I would rather add 150 more so each child would get 200 (that's my story and I am sticking to it!)

When we first started looking, we decided to get a contract of 150 pts (family of 4). Then while waiting on ROFR, DH and I sat down and reviewed the point charts and how often we realistically would go and decided to purchase another 150 pts contract. Now we have 2 in ROFR (hopefully they pass!) and one for each kid when they grow up.

Thanks for all the hard work keeping this updated - I landed under taken and should be under waiting...

 

[Eastcoast02]

It’s been said on here many times not to make buying decisions based on passing contracts on to your kids.

Ya never know they could be afraid of mice, or be more Universal Studios, or dislike theme parks in general....I know gasp!
And well of course there’s the maintenance fees.

I bought young enough that they can’t have my contract even if they wanted it! Haha

 

[NewYorkMom]

Updated!

Thank you for keeping up this updated! It's extremely helpful!!

Here's our pending one that you can add to "Waiting"

NewYorkMom---$99-$19519-180-AKV-Feb-0/17, 154/18, 180/19, 180/20- sent 5/13

I definitely bought having in mind the possibility that my kids could have it if they want it. (RTUs long enough for them to even have kids before the contract ends). However if they dislike going to Disney (gasp!) or prefer other vacations, we can always dispose of it, keep it ourselves, etc. They don't have to take it.

I think it's up to each person to decide for themselves the best criteria to use to decide whether or not to purchase. As with most things, what is wise for one is foolish for another.

As someone else said a bit further down, if the kids don't want it there's nothing that says they have to keep it!

 

[eaglesrest]

Now we have 2 in ROFR (hopefully they pass!) and one for each kid when they grow up.

I like this concept. How very thoughtful and something we will also consider. Ours have been to Disney since they were 0 and every trip since is different as they age up. They love visiting and the thought they could be doing it for decades (inc grandchildren) is warming

JimBoWyn, sorry to hear another 4/27 club member had their contract taken. We have not heard yet on ours, yet eirily ours is identical to your AKV except ours was $1 / point more.

At least you have heard so you can go after another.

 

[Dan1]

As expected our contract was taken today:


Dan1---$101-$12693-120-AKV-Feb-0/17, 0/18, 120/19, 120/20- sent 4/27, taken 5/28

Last of club 4/27?

Looking for two or three AKL contracts (which is the same as AKV, right?), October use year totally between 300 and 400 points.

If anyone knows : sees any please feel free to PM me.

Thanks very much!

I'm curious if anyone has dealt with Resales DVC (Garden Views Realty Inc) before? Thanks!

I'm curious if anyone has dealt with Resales DVC (Garden Views Realty Inc) before? Thanks!

I've worked with Willie Lugo there a couple times. He was the very first person I talked to about DVC. I knew the basics but had some more questions. He was very patient and kind, taking the time to answer my questions and put me at ease. Long story short I had an accepted offer but got cold feet before signing the contract. He was very understanding when I cancelled. (I still kick myself on that, 160 VGC points at $147/point )

I spent the next few months researching and ended up working with almost all the major DVC resale brokerages. Everyone had their pluses and minuses but I kept coming back to Willie as the person I liked the best. It looked like I wouldn't have the chance to work with him but then saw a listing there I liked, called, and he happened to answer the phone. I was thrilled and he has been a pleasure to work with. (One small example, even though I got an email when I passed ROFR, he called me to congratulate me.) I don't have any hesitation in recommending that you give him a call if you're interested in a contract listed there.
