The www.dvcresalemarket.com ROFR report last listed an OKW contract being taken in Jan, highest buyback $73 pp. So it has been a couple months for their listings, which dominate the market.
Thank you glad my SSR is in the clear so far
They really cleaned up with that sale. People who never would have wanted OKW bought a crap ton of OKW. It makes so much sense to do it again and also flip as many 2042's to 2057's as they can.
I think that's definitely one of the bigger influences, it's the nostalgia. I'm a west coasters but WDW has my heart, fully. Same reason, nostalgia. I was a CM there, and before that WDW was my first ever Disney park. I love being in the bubble and DLR doesn't have that. I always say, for me DLR is a quick fix until I can get to WDW. DLR also doesn't hit me the same way, but I'm still very happy it's there.
If they did it again, I would consider it, but the dues do scare me. I'd have to do the math to determine where the break even point would be compared to buying another resort direct, or if it would ever occur.
I am an absolutely no to OKW but I did try to buy at the end but they were sold out. At that point it made sense to get blue card, now that I have a blue card it would likely not be worth it. If it goes on sale I will post my spreadsheet results for all to see when comparing it to other resorts. The results still shock me when I put things in and Ive been using this spreadsheet awhile now.
When we did the math last time, it didn't work out (also considering I'd prefer my direct contract to be at a resort I'd actually use regularly, versus SAP). I can't say I wasn't seriously tempted, though.
May the odds be ever in your favor
I say post it now, give me a day to run the numbers before new incentives come out!
Remind me the RIV you were buying was what price pp? and how many points? I will compare to that.I say post it now, give me a day to run the numbers before new incentives come out!
I don't have the chart, but this shows the incentive tiers. I believe 300+ was the sweet spot which is why DVC started adding a cap.
Having bought a loaded contract with all those extra points could get you in trouble! Joking aside 410 should for sure be enoughDisneyMama170---$93-$22992-210-AUL-Feb-0/24, 420/25, 210/26- sent 4/3, passed 04/28
Woohooo!So excited to soon be a DVC owner at AKL and AUL!
410 points per year is enough to start out for a family of 4, right?
Haha! I can’t lie, I’m a bit worried about that! Especially considering my AKL contract is also loaded with banked points that expire end of July then has double points for 2025 tooHaving bought a loaded contract with all those extra points could get you in trouble! Joking aside 410 should for sure be enough
but I’m telling myself these extra points are only for my hubby and I’s 30th birthday celebrations this year and we shouldn’t get used to having that many moving forward. But we’ll see how long that mentality lasts, LOL!
It was 150 pts at $117, but it had all 2024 pts banked.
This is my simple spreadsheet that just calculates it as if dues stay the same throughout the life. It's just easy to look at and see right away what your financial impact is. I do have sheets that calculate cost of owning after 5, 10, 15 years. I have one that has a scale for dues increases but nobody knows for sure how dues will trend.
This is amazing, thank you
Really we just have to decide how much we would value blue card status. FOMO sometimes makes me look twice at fiscal responsibility.I would love if you could just post all of your spreadsheets lol
