If you are a resale owner, can you buy direct points in increments of 25 or more through Disney? Are there closing costs if you go through Disney?

25 at sold out resorts but 50 at RIV/AUL, yes closing costs apply
A lot of inconsistent information out there from guides atm, but this is the usual way it works

Pressure if slightly on for me now lol

we haven’t had a holiday since our honeymoon in 2017 and started out adoption process.
My plan was to get a DVC for the first trip in 2023 and of course went for stripped contracts. Then for 2022 we save some $$$ and do a European cruise with Disney.

yeah that’s not going to happen at those prices....

so my current deed is a week in ROFR so should hear next week. If that does go through then happy days, if not I need to now look at a loaded contract with an earlier use year and probably be prepared to pay a bit more $$$ per point.

For next August though I’m going to need a contract done and dusted before September in order to get the 11 month mark

Yes! I feel like at $150 per point for Poly it was a little high”ish”. Would have loved $140-$145 but I figured the $150 was much safer and I also didn’t want to lose the contract as there really is not many out there currently that are not stripped or smaller contracts.

Good call. Waiting on feedback on my Poly for $138 pp for 150 points sent the same time as yours, and I suspect I will be taken by ROFR based on how I match up on page 1

Fingers and Toes crossed for you. I hope you get lucky and they waive. That is definitely a nail biter though. Will be a great deal if you do pass especially with direct Poly prices. Last time we bought Poly they were never buying them back so we knew they would waive. This round though there were definitely more nerves.

Yes. You have to pay cash for anything under 50 points, which could be a credit card. I was recently quoted $360.40 for closing costs (7.75%) on 25 AKV points and $374.70 (5.75%) for 35 points.

I had a 190 pt contract for $137pp taken at the end of January. Hoping you have better luck! I was at WDW earlier this week. I walked around the Poly and had a Dole Whip on the beach. It was a little sad knowing I could’ve owned there if it weren’t for ROFR!

This is good info to have! Thank you so much. I think I should be fine - because it's a small contract just for me. Still....it's good to think ahead. I wish my husband loved Disney as much as me! He agreed to this as long as he never had to come with me.

That almost sounds like my husband! He comes because he wants to be with the family. It’s definitely not because of his love for Disney! He would be totally fine (happy even) if we never went back! I just don’t get it!
His willingness to buy DVC just proves he must really love us!!

 

[achinforsomebacon]

I don't have a great hope of us passing so everytime I open my email I'm waiting for bad news. Prices seem so crazy now. I don't know if we will try again soon if this doesn't work out.

I'm watching yours closely. Ours isn't as great of a deal but if you pass, it will give me a little more confidence about passing. I don't like where prices are headed either and don't know about jumping back in if ours gets taken.

[michael730]

Sorry I never posted my contract officially
I’ll get all the exact price details and enter it but I sent 3/3 and passed today 3/25!
BWV-86 points at $130/point!
Partial points for 2021

LOL! I know. I originally wanted a PVB and BCV contract. Then decided to get all my points at PVB and use some of them as SAP since poly seemed to be a good deal. It seems like that ship has sailed so looking at "the resorts I don't mind staying at" for my SAP

I was planning on DL for my next vacation but if this happened to go through somehow I would happily do WDW =)

Yay congrats! But this is good news for me too because I have one at the ridiculous price of $145/pt But I’m ok with that if it means I’m one and done.

On the bright side, hopefully the estoppel process is less painful. I can't believe the prices are going up. I wonder what has changed.
