ROFR Thread April to June 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[Chia1974]

Happy Monday everyone!
I know it’s my own preference but curious what you would do... right now the majority of my points are at CCV. I recently added on a small 30 pointer at BLT (awaiting ROFR but expect it to pass given $PP) because I love the convience with 2 little kids to MK and still want to add another 25 to my points pool. For that 25, I am between adding OKW direct before increase with 2057 exp at $165 or looking to add at resale BLT (will be hard to find) Poly, or VGF. Split stays don’t really bother me as long as no more than one resort change per stay. I’m between the cheap points or 11 mo window (“ Buy where you want to stay” - wouldn’t mind OKW but again with little kids like the convience of the monorail loop. On the flip side, if I were to add at VGF (which I know incredibly hard to find small contract right now) or Poly, 25 points may not even cover one night in a studio depending on when I went so would have to maximize banking and borrowing. If I buy OKW I could get 2+ nights in a studio every UY (but then on the other side OKW may be available at 7 mo if I bought points somewhere else. If you were me what what you do?

i should add I’m looking to add more points to add flexibility to be able to occasionally make the jump to 1BR if we want to vs studio.

thanks all looking forward to your feedback

VGF is on waitlist only for direct now. I believe Poly is easier to book at 7 month since they have only studios not counting the bungalow. I have most of my points at BLT because I like the one and two bedrooms have a whole extra bathroom. BLT one bedroom is one of biggest much more spacious compared to CCV. Poly and VGF both have the split bathroom in the studio. With new DVC building coming soon to VGF, I’d wait and see if any incentive buying direct. Since small resale prices are so close to buying direct.

I agree with previous posters that I’d add to the BLT points you already have. 25 points at a resort is not enough points to do a lot with, and will quickly lead to addonitis.

Thanks everyone!! Great feedback!! Im leaning towards the BLT direction. Makes sense to me! The other + is right next to CCV

I have one in closing now at $155 for 125 points. The prices are calming down a bit for BLT which is great for you.

I had a 50 pointer I let get away at 157 because I thought I was happy with the 30 points but I got a case of the addonits!

You can just borrow from next year and get 2 nights in a one bedroom every other year. I know addonits is bad as I have SSR and CCV in ROFR still.

I too have BLT and CCV. BLT for walking convenience and CCV for relaxation. But sometimes I wish I had diversified and gotten a Epcot/HS resort instead. I’m just a little wary of the 2042 contracts in Boardwalk and Beach Club. Oh well, can’t have it all I suppose.

Only if BLT studio can sleep 5 that would be perfect! I absolutely love BCV and BWV but 2042 is stopping me. Riviera is an amazing resort but the dues are high and the skyliner can be unreliable at times and that is stopping me also. Swan and Dolphins have great deals sometimes so that is another option.

This would be our first contract. Looking at other purchase prices and what seems to be a high demand, I think it's very possible it will get taken. Fingers crossed though

wish you all the luck. I think you should be fine with that offer

But BLT 1BRs are the best in all of DVC in my opinion, next to VGC. I feel the same way about RR. Rooms look amazing but those dues and skyliner, and the points chart. Perhaps once the monorail starts running from TTC to Epcot, it won’t be so bad anymore.

Also have one at HH in ROFR that was sent the same date (May 25th) and no news yet for mine. Hoping for news any day now!

Well…. It passed!!! I still can’t believe it! (I’ll reformat and add the right string for data processing tonight)

I love beach club and also was wary of the 2042 contracts. I'm not convinced they will drop as much as people think but am happy with the decision to do cash stays there (I also have a poly contract).

One step closer! Can't wait for it to load in a month or so. Those points are already spent before they even hit my account!

I think there will be a flood of BCV and BWV on the market in 10 years, which will probably force Disney to step in and give extensions or something. Just my guess. Regardless, it's too much of an unknown to risk a purchase at any of those 2042 resorts. At least BRV is still somewhat affordable.

I placed an offer on this asking seller to pay closing of $508 never expecting them to agree. $508 is equal to about $17 per point. I didn't have the audacity to ask for the seller to pay 2021 MF's...let's hope DVC doesn't notice LOL!

Hopefully not too bad of a deal. It was listed this morning and I've lost out on a few others because I wouldn't agree to a similar amount . Either way, I'm happy.

I should probably update this since I've seen others have put this because the seller is paying 2021 MF.
