That doesn’t sound very “Contemporary”!

Good thing it’s in Bay Lake Tower… the Incredibles theming in the Contemporary looks cheap and is an absolute FAIL IMO. Stickers are not theming.

Believe me, the CRA want their share too. So yes you do have to declare it as taxable income.

This is also US sourced income reportable as a US nonresident on Form 1040-NR

Wow - $115 is amazing! We just made an offer of $120/pt and was so happy the seller accepted. Didn’t think sub-$120 was possible!

They are both fantastic deals, and I think the difference works out to like .30c a year over the life of the contract.

I could be wrong, but I really think BLT buyers right now are going to feel brilliant in the future.

I sure hope you are right. I am a location and value based buyer, and it hit both those notes for me. I really think the location is about as good as possible in Magic Kingdom. The points chart isn’t insane. The dues are excellent. And I even like the modern look they were going for. Clean it up and I think it could be very good!

Excellent deal. I am guessing you must send offers to multiples listings at a time and hope one bites? I think it could be hard to bargain so low otherwise, without multiple offers in the air.

I ended up sending four total offers to different sellers over a six week period. One declined without a counter, one dropped their list price entirely but didn't counter, one countered but it was still a bit higher than I preferred for a 160 point contract (good deal but over my allocated budget at the moment).

I decided to increase my budget, but also look at 200 point contracts. I sent the same offer I had been sending to the others and it was accepted right away. I think it was just timing with this specific seller.

This offer lines up with the deals seen over at dvcrofr.com, which is what I use to get an idea of the current rates and what is passing. I'm still worried it won't pass though..!

There are several in this quarter that went through at sub 120$ - the lowest so far that I’ve seen is 111$. I’m hoping our 110$ becomes the lowest later this month. I’m guessing you’ll be fine.

I love the insight into strategy! Thanks for sharing. I do think as a deal searcher you have to be willing to move on quickly if not finding what you want. That and patience!

Gotta say - $170 is looking like an ok now although I wasn't willing to do there at the time!

Yeah this is exactly me lol. If they're going to gut the place, I just can't see them messing it up when all of the gut jobs have been done very well. All of the new builds, as well, in my opinion. New Poly Tower especially!

This a nice deal. It really stinks that resale can’t be used at RIV. Because I might consider getting BLT again.

I'm a noob here so I will apologize upfront as I get familiar with this site. It's a bit intimidating the amount of knowledge. Anyway, I put an offer on a contract and we are now playing the waiting game. I did some research, but I guess I pulled the trigger quickly. We love WDW and it's getting a bit cramped with four of us in the standard rooms. Any thoughts on the following?

Thanks! I agree with that. Our RIV is direct and probably will need additional pts for larger rooms as our girls grow. Maybe we go w/resale on those as well and just compartmentalize RIV altogether. Wish we didn't have to though.
