Hey all! First time posting long time reader! Our home resort is BLT and we decided to try and nab some add on points. I feel like we got a pretty good deal although may go lower. If it does will most likely pick up another 160. Here is what we got today! Hoping ROFR doesn't start up for a month lol. Have a great day!

I was looking at this contract too! The elusive AKV contract in between 100 points and 160 points!

I bought AKV at the end of April (made the offer before I looked here, so was definitely $5-$10 too high, but it was on a low point contract) with some fears this could be the case. But like you, I figured this was for the long haul and I could ride the risk out. And still buy into something I am so excited to be a part of.

Here's to toasts at the Kilimanjaro club!

Just curious-Does anyone actually toast at the Kilamanjaro Club if they don’t walk it? I’m trying to set my expectations if I buy one.

I have not yet succeeded in booking Kilimanjaro Club but I have hopes I'll capture that elusive reservation some day.

They are letting absolutely every contract pass ROFR(as far as we know from this thread)!!! I wonder what the tipping point will be on each property!

Looking at the economics - Let’s make two presumptions. 1) They are not spending big money marketing and don’t want excess overhead/ point or MF inventory costs. 2) The Disney enthusiasts will not pay over double (no less 60% more in niche scenarios) to buy direct.
I can also make other presumptions like appetite for first time buyers, employment issues, etc.

Disney might buy some tiny 50 pointer back to make a point, but I doubt it unless it’s an Aulani contract as the carpet is being pulled under Disney’s feet on that (I.e. direct still almost $200 and resale is going into the 70s). I won’t get into labor cost, 8% resale tax on them in depth, but Disney would be prudent to do something small there before things get terribly wide on resale/direct. If it’s not too late. If they don’t have analytics on this, my faith in DVC waivers.......

Have you been successful booking the Value Level rooms??
I hear they're hard to get, even at 11 months, which is why I bought SSR again instead of AKL

 

[John Purcell]

wow, so maybe I shouldn’t have pulled the trigger @ $102/pt...finance guys usually have better insight than a simple construction guy like me!

Whoa!! Don’t give me any credit. You’re $102 could have been the week a vaccine was announced and you’d be the smartest person in the room.

Regretfully this board in Q3 may not be pretty. I know the top 2000 companies are down ~12% in revenue. Which is in line with a 12% increase in unemployment (sadly this underestimates that 65% impacted are not publicly traded). But the spending drag / selling boom may come. And it’s stupid to think people will hold their DVC over homes, cars, etc.

My point is that I have been terribly wrong in the past. I will not accept praise until it’s hindsight. But if we are home resort neighbors, I would love to share an exotic cocktail at Saana and watch the Zebras!

Here’s to our brightest and zestful future, neighbor!

The last thing Disney needs is MORE Aulani inventory to sell. Ten years with the economy growing the entire time and they couldn’t unload it. Rather than ROFRs we’ll see larger incentives.

Disney isn’t going to turn me down in six months when I ask to buy 100 OKW direct points. They’ll ROFR something around 100 points or make me wait for a larger contract that they can split, then sell it to me at a 100% markup. It’s the easiest $8K the company can make. There will be less of that though if resale falls far enough because the blue card math will get worse and worse.

 

[Jetku]

June AKL contracts aren't easy to come by and when they do they sell so fast. Especially smaller ones 100-140 points.

agreed! Took me several months (and 1 failed ROFR) when I was looking earlier this year. Closing next Friday!

I love Sanaa and that’s one of the main reasons we bought our first contract at AKL...and having 3 bathrooms in a 2br in kidani doesn’t hurt when you have 4 kids!

In regards to the current state of the economy, I honestly don’t think we have seen the floor in regards to the resale market. Which is good for some, but worse for most.

So do I; love Sanaa! The ambiance, the view of the Savannah and the food is delicious!
