We typically book well in advance but I have occasionally scouted short lead time bookings and could see some things that would work. We now have 600 RIV points, between 2-150 point direct contracts and a 200 and 100 point resale. This gives us a decent amount of flexibility to try other resorts and also plenty of points to stay at our favorite…RivieraNice deal. At these prices I'm starting to get tempted, but I'm still very concerned about the inability to book elsewhere. Specifically, in the event you need to cancel last minute. How good is RR availability for last minute short trips?
NOPE. It was too hard to find a 50 point OCT UY...I know, I know, I swore I wouldn't do it, but the price was right! We sold off too many two years ago, but hey, we did really well since DVC bought several OKW's back at a premium.Not extended?
I was mostly curious if they are done with the “ROFR to flip to 2057” plan—at $75 seems like a decent opportunity for Disney.NOPE.

DH and I are getting up there in age, so we still have 2057's for our son and DIL LOL!

I get it, but As an east coaster, my view…. Aulani every 3 years roll points, can’t beat the price. One week… Renting a condo for 8 this year and it’s $2k a night on Ko Olina.West Coast to Hawaii is a 3 hour time difference…. but it’s MUCH worse flying to FL and having it be 3 hours the other way!
But saying something is primarily west coast resort of could be sold as a west coast drop down product doesn’t mean that no one from the east cost will buy it.I get it, but As an east coaster, my view….

Going to Aulani in September! I did see the Companion Fare will be later this year, so that is a positive for a future Hawaii trip.The Alaska/Hawaiian merger has cut the flights from Portland. The ability to use the Alaska Companion Fare on Hawaiian starting later this year should help to alleviate that.
I don’t know when you are going, but if it’s for the summer then Hawaii SHOULD be more than the Devil’s breath of Florida!
Yes, it’s a big deal for us.Going to Aulani in September! I did see the Companion Fare will be later this year, so that is a positive for a future Hawaii trip.
Definitely, it was but they passed on it. Two-three years ago, they were buying back OKW...how times change! We began regretting overselling, so are just happy to have enough points for our stays.I was mostly curious if they are done with the “ROFR to flip to 2057” plan—at $75 seems like a decent opportunity for Disney.
From what we've seen, I would be shocked if you didn't. You should be hearing back any day now, good luck!
