we were in this bucket with our first resale contract - after passing ROFR but while we were in estoppel (none of it took long) I called DVC and asked to add on 25 points at my first home resort and UY. He said "adding on the 25, eh?", read me some things over the phone, and I think I paid by...

Riviera and Grand Floridian are my top votes - the VGF splash pad is super cute and next to the zero entry feature pool. There is also lots of shade, a not-too-busy snack bar etc. Riviera is similar, with better food options nearby - including gelato at the pool. There is also the "backyard"...

I think that's DvCaprio ....

I can vouch for that ... For our first resale contract we had a price point for BLT (<$110) and for BWV (<$100) and BLT was super easy and fast. Later it turned out (we hadn't done our research, life changes... ) that 2br lockoffs were not generally our thing and we were moving away from...

We went last year when the kids were 7 and 11. We booked Aunty's so we could have some spa time; my 11 yo found Aunty's a little too "young" but she still enjoyed it with her sister. We all really enjoyed snorkeling, the pool, and the beach area. If/when we go back, we will probably try to do...

Not really, but who can predict how extreme the weather will get? While that does concern me, it is not likely to be an issue in the next few years, I believe. We also stay in August a lot and when we use SAP to stay at BCV and BWV then we don't also stay at RIV. When we have stayed in the...

Best place over new year's!! From most standard rooms (we've never seen otherwise) we've had great views of Epcot and MK fireworks. My younger daughter had to one-up everyone and get born on Thanksgiving. And we haven't done a birthday trip for her in her memory, so ... Sorcerer's Pass waits...

Newbie Q: are we supposed to dial in right at 10 or do we try calling now? NVM - dialed in right at 10… listened to hold music. Prompts are 1, 1, 1 Good luck everyone!

This is what I have done - and I have never transferred among/between my memberships to use points at 7 months. (I *have* found the multiple waitlists feature to be very helpful, though) I generally agree with all of this! ^^^ I've also never borrowed points. If you're considering another UY...

hmmm... that's sort of crazy... but it just might work! Or we might need to start talking like 2 real beds is the way to go and Murphy beds are nowhere near as comfortable ...

🙋‍♀️ I said this from early 2019 until April 2019.... Because I was also #Team25pt hybrid, I didn't even NEED to buy Riviera direct, except I did. We did the tour, ate ice cream, got a ton of FPs (we had to re-sign something so we got more FPs for that)... the rest of that trip, with park...

Good luck with your waitlist! I think a request of highest floor possible (I know thats what everyone asks for) might snag you a really magical room.

I'm hoping that they may have the reverse happen ... with VGF, they sold out the resort studio points but people wanted the studios and even other units in the OG building. There's 47 dedicated 2br and 47 1br and 47 deluxe studios (approx? from googling) for the millions of points in a now sold...

Actually, I'm a VGF owner and would say the same. The studios are already plentiful and it looks like the new Poly tower, if you want a larger unit, will have a better balance of sizes/units. Especially if you're buying resale, the point charts on studios are not that far off, so if you like the...

Welcome home neighbor! You held out longer than I did - I was planning to get some resale RIV "just for Riviera" and ended up buying direct months before the resort even opened... We paid more than you can get for resale Riviera, but we have had several stays since December 2019.

Did I see somewhere we had to pay for at least one pax in points? Or did I make that up?

I don't even know if this applied to DVC or it was just a special, but there was one year where it was essentially a BOGO (free) on Platinum passes. Come to think of it, that was what led us into this spiral of APs + DVC ...

My first ride we'd come off an early AM flight and I was hot, tired and probably dehydrated. I didn't throw up or anything, but I didn't feel quite right after getting off, either. The next several times, as long as I wasn't dehydrated or tired, it was tremendous fun. I get carsick very easily...

Thanks. I will try that!

I'm one here. We did it once for April break last year - booked a "backup" WDW vacation and then looked at whether we could actually go to DL or Hawaii - we went to Aulani + other Hawaii. But back then we had enough unbooked points that I could make a reservation before canceling the WDW one...
