Thoughts on Grand Floridian Direct - at $265 per point

[LittleBitGoofy]

We had to do the e-notary for our PVB direct add-on the other month. That was definitely new since our last direct purchase.

I went through the same calculus when deciding whether to add another 50 points onto BLT. In the end, I bought a 125 point BLT resale instead for almost identical money. I already had blue card status from a direct purchase years ago, so that didn't enter into my decision making. Plus, the contract came fully loaded, and I was able to rent out the banked points, thereby bringing my cost below what the direct contract would have cost me. My wife and I have found a use for those extra 75 points every year.

I tried to buy CCV 25 points direct on cash as an add on and was told no.

The minimum to "Add-on" is 25, but if Financing it's 50. Some resorts (like Villas at Disneyland Hotel and Riviera) are 50 minimum, even cash.

It's not a crazy price if you just want to get the points in your account and be able to use them at DLH. If you're not going to DL regularly, then buying direct at WDW where you want to stay is a good way to get rooms at both locations.

CCV is when the 50 point minimum started.
