On the bright side (for everyone but me) I still haven't heard on my PVB sent 10/26

That is waaaayyyy too long. Has the broker reached out to Disney?

My took 8 weeks because there was a problem with seller unintentionally used her points for a trip instead of her other contract.

My broker is a fidelity agent and I've asked her three times to do so but she won't. I was surprised considering fidelity seems to get average to good reviews here!

Related tangentially, does anyone know when/if there's a time you can pull out and not lose a deposit once you've been sent to ROFR?

I believe once the closing date as specified in the contract has passed.

Thanks! That's what my research has led me to believe so far, as well.

although fidelity has decent prices I’ve not found their agents to be good at all.

Honestly, this board and this thread have been incredibly helpful in understanding the process. I continue to scan the various broker websites and look for something I'm comfortable with... I adore Wilderness Lodge so I hope something works out. Right now I'm just trying not to let myself go too far the other way just to make sure a contract passes ROFR. Knowing yours passed gives me hope!

I think this board is absolutely amazing and an enormous help as well! I do feel, though, that it can sometimes establish unrealistic expectations cost wise, since not every poster is as savvy or willing to spend the time and effort to find deals priced so low.

Super open/ended question but what are the top one or two reason why people choose one month "UY" over another? Is it typically for the 11month window of when they would typically like to book their vaca as a main reason? Does one UY (month) date tend to be higher than others? What have you found as the highest "month" and the cheapest month. Sorry, I don't know all the terminology. =)

It depends on when you travel. You try to have it around period you usually travel. Dont forget if you cancel within 30 days of your reservation, those points go into holding, which means they have to be used by the end of your use year.

So if your use year was August and you were booked to go in September and cancelled, you would then have until end of July the following year to use those points.

As to points and cheapest, the price per point isn't the same but there are different travel periods.

You can find the point charts here:

https://www.dvcresalemarket.com/point-charts/
Typically Sept 1-19th is the cheapest amount of points and then Christmas/Easter is most expensive.

Somebody save me from myself. There's an AUL subsidized dues Sep UY contract over at www.****************.com right now.

Edited: Oh, never mind, it seems we can't talk about that broker here. Moderators, you can delete this post if you'd prefer!

Generally it's best to have a UY just prior to your usual vacation time with your travel falling within first 8 months of your UY. I haven't noticed any real difference in pricing for various UY but some will have more points available than others. That UY distribution can be found elsewhere online. UY doesn't affect your booking window.

*Checks your signature* Oh, you don't have that one yet!

1 - Don't you live on the east coast? Hawaii is a LONG HAUL. How often will you need that home resort priority?
2 - Will you regret getting it or NOT getting it?

... I'm not helping ....

1. I won't, really, though after having stayed there in 2019, DH keeps asking when we'll own there. "It'll incentivize to go to Hawaii more often. Don't you want to go to Hawaii?". This would be for SAP, to allow us Cabins and GVs on splurge stays.
2. I may kick myself a little, especially as Subsidized AUL dues are the lowest DVC dues out there right now, but I'd be grateful not to spend the money right now - or figure out what contract I'm going to sell to pay for it. But as you mentioned, I don't think I *need* AUL priority, and it's probably better to have WDW resorts for SAP points so at least we have the 11 month priority. But, man, those dues ($6.2799/point - closest is VGF, but they are still $0.5319 higher)! Both PVG and SSR are now over $7, and VGC is all but there ($6.9927), so those subsidized dues are nice.

If it does help (no, really) I saw a post today about JOMO - the JOY of missing out. We always hear about FOMO, but that was a different perspective for me. It had an image of someone sitting at home, wrapped in a blanket and just being cozy and relaxed.

If it was Aug UY you would be in a fight with me for it

I got a small contract recently but with my family size and how close aulani is I know I’ll end up buying more. I swear every time we pass aulani the kids are asking to go back

Hoping this one passes! Fingers crossed.

Been watching the board and thinking next week we will finally hear whether we pass... It looks like ROFR is on the week of 11/17. If it does not pass, I have my sights set on another one.
