It will never become worthless. You will always have your points for a stay at Disney =). Even if it drops to $0 value (not going to happen) the huge expense is the cost of dues long term really. Even if the upfront cost is cut in half, it might seem to be a big savings up front but it won't be as much long term. That's why everyone says it may not be a great investment if you finance, because you probably end up paying more than you would for a cash stay (or a lot longer to break even). There might be things that Disney does during covid (offer great sales for example) that may make it seem like not as great a deal, but I don't think it will be worthless.If they don't buy anything we all should have waited or shouldn't have bought at all. For me, I was hoping for a semi quick recovery so I figured why not jump in at a reasonable price...I don't consider this a $$$ investment, in my opinion its 100% luxury item to make you feel good but if it becomes worthless I won't be feeling good at all. I'm actually hoping they take mine so I can get back in at an even better deal.
Maybe a "normal" price for Gisele2's contract would have been $128pp (and maybe that's high then for a stripped contract). That would have been $32,000ish. So they saved $7000. It's a nice savings, but at the end of the day, do people really care that much if they paid $122,000 or $129,000 for a house? Or $140,000 or $147,000?
