Lots of running aorund to get the cash and notaries and a freak'n FedEx envelope but we made it before last pick-up!

Nice! We are selling 5 Poly and buying 1 CCV. Have gotten closing docs for 3 Poly in the last 24 hours so I can report back that they are making progress LOL

Good to hear that things are moving. Congrats on the contracts! Why CCV over Poly? just curious

There’s a fixed week #41 on sale for VGF at
https://www.dvcresalemarket.com/listings/grand-floridian/gf81136/We just bought more AKV and SSR (in ROFR now it makes it this time) because we want two bedrooms now that our kids are older we need the space. We love the treehouses and our 150 points we already own there is just not enough. I too am thinking of getting a FW when grand goes on sale again for 4th of July. We have RIV #52 so they will balance each other out. It’s definitely hard to decide and deals are slim right now but keep watching and bidding and you may find one.

Yes, definitely thinking on it. Not sure I want a 3rd UY. I was thinking if I did a fixed week at VGF that I could do something like the first week of December. That way if I don't want to use it or need the points, it will be a highly desirable week to rent out since many want to travel there during the holidays. Is there a flaw to this logic? And December is one of my current UY, so it would align with what I have.

We got pixie dust once and were upgraded from a studio to a 1BR. Since then, we wanted a 1 BR avail to book at 11 months since we like to travel in early December. If pixie dusting is a marketing plan to sell more points, it worked on us.

We LOVE Poly, but the lack of diversity in room categories just don't suit us any longer.

I love the theming of poly. I just wish they had more options. It would never work for us.

I feel ya. You definitely need to own at CCV if you want to book December. I just wish CCV studios and 1brs slept 5. I'm really drawn by Riviera's room layouts. So temped to buy there.

MAYBE in a year or so we are thinking about a small direct Riviera contract (the minimum 125) since we are not direct owners any longer. I do love the rooms there and the upscale feel. We have three pieces of art that we purchased from their gift shop so it really would feel like home staying there. LOL

I've never even been to Riviera and I love it already. Sometimes I wish I bought there instead of CCV but the resale restrictions at the time scared me. Now my wife won't let me buy any more points. I just want 75 points!

My husband convinced me we needed more than the 100 point add on I was willing to do direct so we’re trying resale for a few more.

Well, given the price increase for SSR tomorrow, this doesn’t bode well for me at all. I’m assuming it’ll be taken

I think that’s good logic, but you might need to get the second week of December because sometimes the first week might actually begin in the last few days of November which would cross your dec UY and make things complicated. That’s the same reason we bought week 52 because it gave us the amount of RIV points we wanted and it’s our goal to stay over the holiday break at Disney but not until after Christmas and we should always get NYE at WDW.

Good luck with that. With direct going $180pp tomorrow, that will be a nice buy if it passes.

Yeah, I put in a low offer expecting to go back and forth but they accepted (Trust selling it). Oh well, what can I do but try again if it doesn't pass.

Where did you see direct is going up now already, instead of beginning of the new year? Thanks

Good to see VGC prices still at this level. I saw some sell for $270 a couple of weeks ago. So crazy.
