Celebratory cup time. Not the best coffee, but appropriate.

I'm not surprised, but I think it's a little nutty... that's just me.

Except on a 30 point contract, even at $185, that would have been only a $900 savings. Not a ton difference if it fit ones needs.

Probably why I sold my 100 point at full asking of $189 in less than 4 hours. It was perfect for what they wanted.

I guess being a direct owner, I see a value in having the unrestricted points. For $900, I'd rather have the option to use these with my Riviera points for Riviera or some future resort. If I didn't own the direct points already, 30 unrestricted points wouldn't help me much, so I guess it wouldn't matter.

It's the opposite for me. I have qualified points and view the savings as more beneficial now. 14 resorts is perfectly fine.

Another 5/18 passed. Anxiously waiting for my Poly to pass.

I'm hoping this means I hear tomorrow. I'm not super worried but with Disney you never know.

 

[Paul Stupin]

Same here.

With VGF resale prices so high, I plan to buy direct so long as VGF2 is close to current RIV pricing.

Can’t wait to read more about VGF2 direct sales!

Me too! At first I was convinced that pricing might be higher, but now I’m hoping that with incentives the cost might approach Riviera level. They're selling studios and the inherent value of them, so I don’t think Disney will get too pricey. And it’s not a new build. But I bet there will be a cool fountain in the lobby!

Also, VGF contracts with my UY are basically nonexistent on the resale market, so it will be nice to finally add on!

 

[Paul Stupin]

One thing about these higher prices not often mentioned is that at least the value of our current points is increasing. Personally, I think we’ll settle into a new base level substantially higher than where we were last year, but possibly lower than where we are now. And maybe not by much. I think as more people return to WDW, and attendance increases over the next few years, demand will stay high. But I think just assuming that prices are bound to take a substantial dip because they’re high now is wishful thinking.

 

[Nabas]

$205 for a 30 pt BLT seller unwilling to negotiate at all....FP only.... this is really something!

Trying to be patient but with every day getting closer to buying direct with no restrictions.

As I understand it, the minimum size contract for existing DVC owners is now 50 points.

This means that anyone with a smaller contract is sitting on something that cannot be replaced.

I'm not too surprised that these tiny contracts are going for top dollar.

I agree. Did you see the latest avg sales price report from dvc resale market? VGC avg is $272! I think that price HAS to come down, especially with DLT coming soon?

50 pts, eh? For all resorts? That's surprising. They tried it once before at BLT just shortly after it went on sale. It flopped huge and many many complaints especially when they adjusted point charts and it was leaving people a few points short before the resort opened and they hadn't even been able to use points and then they were being told they'd have to add on 50 points to cover the few they actually needed.

It is frustrating in recent years that Disney has been playing games with the point charts. You have enough points and then, just like that, you don't.

When did this happen? I spoke to our guide last week and he said the add on minimum was still 25 if paying cash and 50 if financing.

I thought the add on minimum is 25 points cash except Riviera is 50 minimum. I would like a 35 point VGF. VGF studio is less points than PVB at the time we usually go.

I hope you are right.

I read recently on disboards that it now was 50. Maybe that only applied to financing.

I'm hoping one of the DVC mods can step in and correct me if what I read was wrong!

Note: DVC News has 25 points listed.
