Riddle me this.... The resort opened in 1991 and the extension happened in 2007, right? So was the extension offered to all original owners AND resale owners in 2007? I tried to uncover when the resale market started but I couldn't find anything.

Wouldn't they have to sign a deed or amendment? I hope no one paid without legal written notice of extension.

My spouse diagnosed me with this today. At this point I feel he is a professional qualified to make this dx. I am hopeful for a quick cure but January is too far away.

I see your point but I see it differently. Beach club contract owners, for example, won't be expected to pay for costs beyond January 2042 to reserves or for capital improvements. Disney can't ask 2042 resort owners to pay for the flip or demo of resorts that occurs after lease is up. Why...

Understood. But there is a "useful life remaining" category too which exceeds my okw useful life! At some point, soon if not already, budget items will be included in dues for items I won't have use of. Other contracts will go to 2057 and have the benefit of repairs and replacements I helped pay...

We already picked Epcot to avoid the $2000 per person dessert party but would rather be near the tree of life!

Thank you. I read that earlier and had forgotten. It seems to me that some of the useful life items already exceed my years of availability. Am I reading it wrong? Three items have a useful life that exceeds 18 years. I see there is a range but I am assuming that is to capture the various...

At what price point does everyone see poly launching at? Is everyone thinking $239 with incentives only for 150 and over? Or will it mirror the recent incentives and offer incentives at 100 points? 50 minimum for members 100 for non members?

This is very interesting, although I do not agree that a differential needed to start in 2012. Reserves are collected by formula to account for the useful life of items to be replaced. It's highly possible there were no items in the 2012 budget with a useful life calculation beyond 2042. Now...

Okay, never mind. Just learned there will be total eclipse in WDW in 2045. My okw resale points will be expired. Where do I sign!?!?!

A person with a disability should not have to pay extra to have the same access as a typically abled person. The DAS allows a person who can't wait in line to wait the same amount of time not in the line.

I ride significantly less rides now than I did with paper fast pass. Partly because Disney is more crowded. Partly because lines are longer. Mostly because the whole trip is about more to me than riding attractions now. Does that mean the data collected that I ride attractions less times than a...

@Unity I was thinking of this graphic specifically! A perfect world would be the last graphic in this series where the wooden fence is replaced with a fence that can be seen through making all accomodations, or the boxes in this instance, unnecessary.

If the resale market made money for Disney they would do it. I have always suspected Disney thought it would be too difficult to manage resale and direct sales I house together. Hence ROFR as a mechanism to keep price under control and allow for a tool that could be used to scoop deals and sell...

I can navigate the parks and resorts at WDW with my worn and torn middle aged body pretty well. I can stand by to ride any attraction, get food, and toilet myself. This simply isn't true for everyone. Equal access doesn't mean equal accomodations. If the parks are really busy and I get on 5...

Okay, I have not kept up with this at all. I have one bedroom boardwalk view in August. Is there a chance I will end up elsewhere?

TLDR. Got to page six and I got too sad. Some of Tom Bricker's comments in his DAS blog post really resonated with me. I will gladly wait in line 5 or 10 minutes longer to allow people with life altering disabilities to have the same access I have to rides, shows, and fireworks. During that...

I advise you to stay cautious but not nervous. Hanging out here can be very dangerous to your bank account. Dreaming is free, though, and I am grateful to have a bunch of folks that encourage the wildest ones!

Mine was last spring and $92.50 for loaded 100 point okw 2042 contract. I was pleased at the time and still am. Using it for bwv poly split for the first time this summer. I heavily considered buying 150 OKWe direct with the amazing incentives and selling mine after the trip, but with the...

Wow! This is something.
