While this may be true, there are a number of websites that are blocked that may be helpful. I love the community on this website and respect that the moderators/owners have the right to block anything they wish. That said, I think we would all benefit from a little bit more transparency on this.
Updated, and Boo To You All!!!!

I looked around the grounds in August and I thought it was beautiful. Nicer than BLT, which is really about the prestigious MK setting than anything inherent in the tower itself. Riv is a stunning resort. Less themed than I'd like, but a really beautiful place. And the Skyliner is really unique. I love the idea of being able to go to two parks without driving.Scheduled a tour of RIV during my welcome home trip in two weeks! We were debating adding some points direct, but if we really like it then we may just put in an offer for a couple resales that we've been eyeing. We've seen room and resort tours on youtube, but want to be there in person before making any decisions.
I think DVC just declared more units , to release from their cash supply and belong to DVC booking.

Can you explain what you mean by this. How does Disney "declare more units?"I think DVC just declared more units , to release from their cash supply and belong to DVC booking.
Yea, weβre debating between adding at RIV or BLT. BLT is really for the kiddo while sheβs still young, RIV is more for us.I looked around the grounds in August and I thought it was beautiful.

Anybody notice that VGF are not available as an add-on on the DVC website? Are they getting ready to offer as direct?
I donβt believe they do, though there have been people who question this very thing from time to time due to what I feel is just coincidental bad luck. In our most recent resale purchase we had reached out to our guide about RIV or AKV direct, spoke on the phone, traded emails with pricing info and such. A week or two later and we ended up with an AKV resale at $123pp that passed ROFR when others were being taken as high as $128 at the time. So if he had influence he certainly didnβt exercise it, especially at a price they very well could have taken it. That just solidified for me what I already believed to be true, itβs a completely numbers based decision on a contract by contract basis. We just donβt know what those numbers are, nor will we ever, because I believe itβs so fluid itβs always changing for Disney.Honest question.....no accusations...just curious for opinions from some who have more experience with DVC and the resale process. Do direct guides have influence on the ROFR process or have access to the names involved in resale contracts that come over to Disney for ROFR? For instance, if you were speaking with a direct guide but decided to pursue resale instead, would that direct guide have any influence on the ROFR decision process, perhaps thinking if 1 or 2 of your resales had ROFR exercised, you may get frustrated and return back to direct options?
I passed right at three weeks on ThursdayI feel like we were clicking right along at three weeks for a long time, and suddenly we've hit a brick wall except for people who have been taken.
Shows you how often I check....LOL!

I apparently got beat by you(in terms of time, not price) for this one. When did you try to get it? I think you had already agreed to a deal before I saw it, as I looked Saturday afternoon and spotted the 3 CCV contracts. I would have rather gotten the banked points with yours and a little cheaper than I agreed to.Jimmy Geppetto---$152-$23552-150-CCV@WL-Feb-0/20, 0/21, 264/22, 150/23- sent 11/1
Let's try this again...
Congrats on getting one through. I will be posting one today that I don't expect to make it through given how many OKW disney has been buying back.perchy---$125-$8026-60-OKW-Aug-0/20, 60/21, 60/22, 60/23-international seller pays MF '21- sent 10/6, passed 10/28
YOU GUYS! This passed Thursday and I didn't know until today because my email is a bottomless pit! I had VIP'd the email address of the person I was working with but he sent my Congratulations message under an email I didn't have starred, so I completely missed it.
I'm excited about this. It's my first contract to pass after the last one (for 25 points) was taken. Yes, it's 2042. It's also $1 lower than the highest contract Disney took back in September.
But also, add-on-itis hit before I learned of this news, because today I signed the paperwork for a little 35 point HHI contract that was hanging around for about a month. Still ended up at asking price but as an NC resident, I think we'll enjoy the SC getaway.
Looking forward to 20 years of vacations I won't outgrow because I clearly haven't outgrown them over the past 20. HAHA
