    Walking Why ?

    About a week ago I was looking at making a reservation for BLT 2 bed standard view for the last week in Feb. I never could get the reservation as the room was disappearing right away every morning. Every couple of days though an earlier date would suddenly open up, so it appeared to be being...

    February direct sales but also debate about trusts

    My personal belief is that all resorts going forward will be sold as a trust. My reasoning is that with a trust model Disney has much much much more control over how things run and Disney does love to be in total control. Allocate points across any rooms they want, no problem. Set whatever...

    When do you book your flight?

    i always book our trip at 11 months. Then once the flights become available I remove any days from the start and/end of our trip based on the flights. I always end up dropping days from the start and end of our trip because I never get flights to match up exactly. The only good thing about...

    Let's speculate about Polynesian some more!

    The perfectly legal way to pass on higher costs to DVC owners is to have the costs based on the number of people in the DVC resort vrs. the hotel side. DVC resorts run at pretty much 100% occupancy and then increasing studio occupancy from 4 to 5 everywhere they could (something I think should...

    Free Water Park for 2025 Stays

    The plan for 2025 is a 3 resort split stay in Sept/Oct so I can definitely see us maybe using this when switching resorts. Even if we don't, it is nice to have the option to get into a water park for free.

    Feb 2024 Average Resale Prices

    While I would love to see a YC DVC, I really doubt that it will happen. One for the convention business, but also because in not too many years BWV and BCV are going to be expiring and coming back on the market as new resorts.

    Feb 2024 Average Resale Prices

    I must be the exception that proves the rule then as I bought RIV and CCV within 2 days of each other.

    New Definition of Rental Activity?

    I personally think that DVC wants the new system ala CFW to be an actual club were they set all the rules and control everything that members can and cannot do, think Club33. Next thing will be since you are only a club member there is nothing to sell or pass on to your kids since you don't own...

    Riviera, Disneyland Hotel Help Boost Overall Direct Sales in January 2024

    I have more than enough points that I can use to book anywhere, so having restrictions at RIV doesn't bother me at all. The 250 points I have at RIV I will happily use only at RIV. I don't think resale restrictions have anything to do with DVC trying to drive down resale prices. If resale...
