Thank you for asking this!! I was curious as well because we just passed ROFR on our first contract, but the sellers needed a delayed closing, February! So now we’ll have to wait and we really wanted to get a trip in before the blazing summer. We can sweat our tails off for free here in SC 🤣 But...

We did!!!!! Got our email today that we passed ROFR!! On Disney+ Day! Ha! SRUAlmn---$76-$14809-160-VB-Apr-0/21, 0/22, 289/23, 160/24-Seller pays MF 22- sent 8/23, passed 9/8 (16 days)

Ours was sent on 8/22 or 8/23 also (I’m not sure how to know for sure which day it was sent?) So this gives me hope we’ll hear soon 🤞🏼 Congrats!!

SRUAlmn---$76-$14809-160-VB-Apr-0/21, 0/22, 289/23, 160/24-Seller pays MF 22- sent 8/23 We’ve heard it all about Vero and the high maintenance fees, but this was a great time for us to start our membership and this was the price we could manage for now! There are always other contracts to add...

So we went through when we’d most likely stay, and studio & one bedroom point needs for different resorts and numbers of days and it looks like we’d maybe be ok with 200 points (for now, ha!) Looking at current resale contracts that have 200 points, the price per point varies quite a bit and I’m...

This is a great point that I hadn’t considered! A lot of times people are saying “I’ve never had a problem finding availability 7 months out.” But is that 2 day availability or a week? That makes a huge difference! If you’re a local and running over to do a staycation, the 7 month window...

You all are so amazing!! I am so amazed at how helpful and open everyone has been and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate it! We have looked at direct (even though the perks don’t seem to outweigh the savings for us at this time,) like mentioned, not having to go through ROFR which seems...

Great point!! Thank you! Kind of where our heads are at as well. We don’t have one resort we’re tied to loving and would love to try as many as we can over the years !

Yes! We’ve stayed at almost every deluxe resort on the hotel side so transportation is something we’re definitely thinking about as well. Right now, my son is obsessed with Lion King and AKV (for many reasons) would be a great choice. He’s also obsessed with the buses, so again! Haha However...

Thank you so much for taking the time to put together the MF chart and over time totals. I’m such a numbers nerd so that helped a lot to have a visual. Thank you!!!

Thank you everyone so much. Such great information and a lot to think about! My son starting school won’t really change our travel habits. We’re ok taking him out of school and are potentially considering homeschooling since I was a teacher for 16 years before becoming a SAHM. Great point...

Thank you so much! I agree the new Saratoga rooms are nice! I’ve been stalking an availability tracking site just to keep an eye on things and have been seeing what you mentioned as well. I really appreciate your insight!!

Hi! We are in the process of choosing a resale contract as our first DVC purchase. I have spent hours combing the internet and basically listening to every podcast I can get my hands (errr, ears) on from the last few years. I have spreadsheets and notebooks galore. I need help! Ha! When we...

They need more for kids under 6! I realize that more and more each time we take our little one. All the parties are at night, all the fireworks are at night, there is literally nowhere to eat a counter service breakfast and lets face it breakfast is usually a safe meal that they’ll eat well for...

Glad to hear your count of your MVMCP experience. We debated back and forth a million times but our little one is 2 and we knew it was about to be a complete waste of $200 so we didn’t do it. It killed me because I don’t know if we’ll be able to go back this time of year again but fingers...

We were on a full bus back to Pop from MK one evening (so it was a decently long ride) and I had to stand holding my 2 year old. My husband offered to take him but he was standing and holding the stroller, so we kind of braced the stroller against the bus and held our little boy together. He...

Oh no!! What a cruddy day to have a stomach bug! Glad you’re feeling a little better!

Any other data nerds like me out there who want to continue your Disney mode? We had the free dining plan, so during the football game tonight I went through our receipts and added up the value of what we ate/drank to see how much of a value we got over and above the value of the free dining...

Mine was the same. Sick one day and a 100.5 fever and then felt better, no fever, just weak and tired.

Sounds like you had a great trip! We also had an extremely empty early morning at MK on Tuesday (not an EMH day!) I’m so sorry you also got food poisoning! I spoke to two other guests at my resort who also got it the week we were there. What on earth is going on? Hope you’re feeling better!
