Is Boulder Ride the new Indiana Jones attraction?
A kind of Squid game for Disboarders, only the ones who exit the cave pass ROFR.

I'm afraid that my temptation to buy a fat AUL contract is going to hit a fever pitch.

It may be the last good DVC deal out there.

 

[MalorieA]

Just curious…has anyone ever noticed if Disney is less likely to take back a contract with an uncommon number of points on the contract? Like a 62…190…278 vs 100, 150, 200 point contracts

They seem to leave prime numbers alone.

What are my chances? First time trying to buy DVC!

I can't get any value out of those ultra premium credit cards. I made the Sapphire Reserve work for awhile but I dropped down to a stack of zero-AF cards, plus Blue Cash Preferred, Southwest Priority, and JetBlue Plus.

If you do end up with Aulani, the Alaska airlines card is pretty great for Hawaii. It comes with free checked bags for everyone on the reservation with you and you get a $121 companion certificate every year, so you pay full price and they come for $121. We use the card for everything and would not have been able to travel half as many places without it.

I'm like a kid on Christmas morning right lol, have 1 more Poly contract in ROFR, think we are safe though!

I agree. that Alaska card is phenomenal. I'd fly them more but we fly mostly into LAX, and HA has better flight times in and out of there. HA also flies the jumbo plane instead of the single aisle one.

We like to fly direct from Boston so it's pretty much Hawaiian Airlines or bust, though I think Delta is adding a New York to Honolulu route.

Pretty low about 25% pass rate under $130 and direct price going up tomorrow might mean DVC taking back up to $145, we shall see but good luck you are the 1 in 4

Ugh, that price increase has been confirmed?

that is a brutal long haul, unless its 1st class in which, the price is brutal.

We've done it three times and for whatever reason we find it extremely easy flying West, but coming home is much harder since it obviously has to be overnight.

Try flying 26 hours to WDW from Australia annually. I love when Americans talk about long haul flights and we think they're reasonable

Normally it's Boulder Ridge, but see the 'G' is broken and it takes a LONG time to even plan on refurbishing a broken letter.
