If you are already direct owners with blue card perks I don't think there is any downside to buying resale except maybe ending up with a different use year, but that part is entirely up to you. Oh I guess also your resale points would be restricted from use at Riviera, Disneyland Villas, and any other new builds that come in the future.Hello,
Well, I am now considering buying resell. What are the disadvantages? We already have a direct contract at BCV, so we do get those member perks.
Then, beginning in 2042, as a group of resorts expire, you won't be able to stay at the new versions of those resorts.
That's assuming a lot.
They could offer contract extensions to those original owners.
They could let them expire and form new associations with restrictions.
They could let them expire and form new associations without restrictions.
They could tear some of them down and build new resorts.
They could decide DVC has run its course and let them revert back to hotels.
They could sell them off.
We don't know what Disney will do.
It is but I also think that if you go in assuming the worst case scenario and are okay with it, then any other decision DVD makes is a bonus.
This was my point. Sorry if it was made clumsily.I agree to an extent. I wouldn't purchase a resale contract now with any intention of using those points at a future resort.
This won't happen, because of the OKW issue. Turns out you cannot extend the land lease for some contracts and not all. It's a complex history with simple law behind it. You also can't juice the points charts.They could offer contract extensions to those original owners.
I'm kindof thinking the same thing. We don't want restrictions, but we are older and know we won't use it in our lifetime.Considered doing resale, but ultimately DVC is a luxury purchase. We don’t want to have to deal with restrictions when we’re planning a vacation that’s supposed to be exciting/joy filled. 5K over my life will be worth having the flexility.
At the rate Disney stock is falling we may be closer to this than we think!The concept of membership extras may not even exist in 19 years. We may not even have season passes. The way it's going, they may use micro transactions and bill us per minute/half hour/hour at the park.
For us the biggest disadvantage of resell was the extended timeline. Now it's the timeline along with the exclusions.Hello,
