Already thinking about adding 25 or 50 pts. as soon as we close. Addonitis strikes quickly & without warning! What is the current price for add-ons? Any incentive, like the $500 gift card I keep hearing others mention? Are there no closing costs if you add on directly through Disney? The contract I'm buying is at Jambo if I add on will the new points be at Kidani? Just wondering if I'd be able to use the add-on points before Kidani opens. Thanks for any inputs DIS Experts.

I have already done a 25 and a 50 point add on. I just did the 50. AT 25, there are no incentives. $104 per point. Currently, at 50 points, you get the $8 credit per point lowering the cost to $96 per point. There are no closing costs on an add on done directly through DVC.

In terms of Jambo or Kidani, it depends on your UY. If there are still Jambo points in inventory for your UY, you will get them. No new contracts are being sold at Jambo as far as I know, but add ons are if the points are available. If they are not, you will get Kidani points.

Hope that helps!

I'm glad you asked these questions, horselover, because I've got questions too...even though we've been discussing adding on for weeks now we've gone back and forth multiple times - and finally last night we both realized it was just silly to put it off and said "Sure - why not?" - but now our guide is off for the holiday weekend! AHH. I tried calling her earlier this week while in CA on business, but she was out of the office this week too. Very frustrating, to say the least.

I just got off the phone with DVC trying to speak to another guide, and he was not very helpful. He did answer a couple of things for me but I didn't think to ask the questions you've posed here. So I'm looking forward to answers that get posted as well.

Thanks Ed. I guess we'll just have to wait & see what's available after we close. We'll have a Feb. UY by the way.

The new contract we bought on May 12 is for Jambo.

If there are no Jambo points available, that won't be too bad. With a Feb UY, you would get 2008 points either way. If you get Kidani, those 50 will not be usable in 2008, but they would be bankable to 2009. There would be no 2008 dues on the 2008 Kidani points. So, unless you would want to use the add on points in 2008, it wouldn't matter. You could always borrow some 2009 points from your master contract if you needed them in 2008.

Oh, and by the way, welcome to DVC and to AKV!

What UY do you have Ed?

I have a June UY.

I have a June UY.

We have a Dec UY - anyone else have any idea about adding on with a Dec UY and whether we'd end up with points for Jambo or Kidani? I hate that I have to wait until Tuesday to talk with my guide....

I just did an add-on Tuesday for my December UY. I added on 50 Jambo Points. My Guide said I had to act quick because points were running out...but who knows how true that it. I think sometimes that is just him being a sales guide and trying to make the deal lol My points showed up in my contract that night and I got 2007 points as well that I banked to 2008!


**Anyone know when DVC will start taking reservations for Kidani?**

I was hoping that's the case - now I just have to hope there are still points available for me when we connect with our guide early next week...

I'm sure you'll be ok. Is Dec the most unpopular UY? lol I always feel like we have the most inventory left...which doesn't bother me at all!!!!

I'm going to be trying in a few weeks. I guess I will just have to live with a savannah view if that is all I can get
