I'm sorry if these have been asked before - I've had a read through and haven't spotted them.
DH and I have just started thinking about buying DVC - we're considering getting 200 points at SSR - it's only the two of us and we'd like to be able to stay in a studio for two weeks each November. We're planning on taking the tour in May and then buying in the summer when we'll be able to do so without finance.
Here's my Qs:
1. How many years can you bank points for? We won't need all of the 200 points for two weeks in a studio, so we'll bank a few of them into the next year - which will allow us to stay in a different resort, or a different time of year. But what happens if I have left over points from 2007 and then we choose not to go at all in 2008? Obviously, I can bank my 08 points into 09, but can i carry the 07 points over too?
2. What is the resale value like? I have seen that resale is about 15% less than buying from Disney - but I'd like to know how the value holds over a number of years. So the cheeky question is, of you bought your points say 10 years ago, how much have you made/lost on today's price?
3. How often do the annual maintenance fees increase and how much by? I'm assuming what I pay for maintenance fees in 2007 won't stay the same for 47 years!
I think that's everything for now - TIA
