Are the Disney DVC rates posted somewhere? I too need a small contract and am curious of the cost.
Hello All!
I was wondering if anyone has purchased small add ons through Disney? We started with the bare minimum of 100 points at BLT and we would like to add more points. While we'd rather be at BWV, we don't want to buy a resale contract of 150 - 200 points. Has anyone just added 25 - 50 points on through Disney? Was your experience good? Did you have second thoughts about not going resale? Do you keep the same use year?
Thanks all!
Nevertheless, you might want to look into the resale market first, and even possibly wait list for a little while, to see if you can get lucky.
A piece of advice: If you are looking on the resale market, you might not want to waitlist with Disney at the same time. They might just ROFR your resale to take the points and offer them to you off the waitlist (for a much higher price!)
The process is easy. You just call and do it and then you get the contracts to sign and return them; points become usable right after you buy them not the later closing date. When buying a small add-on Disney will sell you only points that have the same use year as the one you already have. Minimum purchase is 25 points, you can buy any number above that, but you need to buy at least 50 if you want to finance.
If you buy resale and small add-ons through Disney, you get a FULL membership, and you don't have the resale restrictions they have now. You can call your sales rep...we've had ours forever! He can even tell you if they have any foreclosures (which they do sometimes) and they are happy to find owners for these, like getting a dog adopted from a rescue agency! You can get some good deals and you can negotiate and not have to pay AK, AUL, SS prices.
We have just added on 75 VGC points direct with Disney. Our closing costs were just $20 and the points were in my account the next day after coming off the phone to our guide.
Congrats. We're thinking of adding on another 50 or so points there and I called my guide about the wait time. Last time we did it at VGC we waited about 6 months, but he said they have our UY down to a 1 month wait now.
Did you wait long? I guess a lot depends on the UY.
I spoke to our guide on 18th October and he called me on 30th November to offer us our 75 points. So not long at all. From reports I had heard I was prepared for a much longer wait.
We have a June use year.
We are also June, that it seems the wait is still about a month.
We just can't decide on how many to get now vs a few now and some more later on, to sort of spread out the cost a little.
Good luck to you!
