We own resale and are debating buying direct..

If I owned a timeshare company, then I would want to maximize my value and that's with retail sales. Resale does nothing for my bottom line, so screw em.

That's true for timeshares in general. It's true for DVC as a division.

It's not true for Disney.

Disney's hotel industry started to service its parks. And DVC took root from there. DVC is a 'shake your money tree' all on its own. But there's a larger purpose being served here.

I don't understand why Disney allows one of its divisions to knife its customers as a whole in the name of division profit alone. Especially since these restrictions are so unnecessary:

Most timeshare operators would sell their grandmothers to have a fraction of the traffic that DVC ignores.

IMO DVC is more in your face but they are all about Disney's sole purpose of making insane profit. Various Disney elements are meeting every day on how to cut costs and how to squeeze another dollar from it's customers.

For members who have already purchased points direct, resale add-on points seems to make allot of sense. They already have the perks. That is the case for us. We bought in 1997 and would like more points. 300 re-sale points at the Boardwalk (our home resort) are now offered at $95 PP. Using the current cost of buying direct, the $28,500 (300 x $95) only purchases 178 points (not taking into account closing costs, etc). I'm all for doing things the easy way but it will be hard not to buy re-sale.
