We're new members as of today!! One of the last to get in...

Can't believe it- after being on a wait list for OKW since the beginning of Jan, our guide got us the # of points and use year we wanted (so we can bank 1/2 our points and use 1/2 magical beginnings) My husband and I are THRILLED!! Our guide said we must of been one of the last to get into OKW. I don't know how he did it - but we even got the old price. We REALLY loved the OKW - everything about it was just what we wanted. Thank you, Randy!! One more NJer comin' (orginally from NY) YIPPIE!

Were you able to get this through Disney? I only thought they were selling VB, HH and VWL?

 

[garrett79]

Welcome Home by the way!

 

[vacationlover]

Yes - We got this through Disney! - even though OKW is sold out we put our names on a waiting list in early Jan.

Maybe these points became available through Disney buying back points rather than letting them go through a cheap resale?

Welcome Home!!!!

They may have been points that didn't close. I don't think Disney buys back many OKW points with their right of first refusal. They open a waiting list every time a resort sells out just for such straggling points.

Did they try to sell you VB? Were you steadfast against VB for use at OKW? Maybe that is what got you on the list..

We were very specific what we wanted - we only wanted OKW and we wanted a use year that would allow us to bank 1/2 points. Our guide - Randy Krueger knew that and didn't push one resort over another. He did tell us though at the time of our tour that we had a good chance of getting in via waiting list at OKW. So we walked away from that thinking we were going to get it. It just took some time. Possibly some last buyers didn't send in the paperwork timely or financing didn't go through.

I am surprised that you got the old price - I was told 100% that DVC was selling at $72.

Interesting.
