If urgency is a priority, I'd buy Poly direct. The number of one bedroom villas is very limited relative to the rest of the room types. If you can hold out for a bit, I'd download the DVC Resale Market app and set up an alert for Poly resale contracts. Either way, I think holding more Poly points is the best path if yo
Based on the latest sales data, and assuming it continues at the same pace, Poly is due to sell out in approx. 27 months. They have sold 42.4% of the points.

My use year is February, thanks partially to my ex-husband who convinced me that the use year didn't really matter given we rarely cancel trips. (We initially purchased a BLT resale contract, and the price was right.) While this is true, I wish I had listened to my instinct and followed the philosophy that @airjay75 la
While we haven't done those ships, we did the Disney Wish and Utopia of the Seas back to back two weekends in a row last year. Despite being a Disney die hard, I preferred Utopia/Royal's overall product. Royal's wider variety of dining options/times and wider variety of activities and entertainment offerings on board r
We'll be there just two days before you, staying 6/23 and 6/24 at VDH for my son's 10th birthday! We'll move to VGC if the waitlist comes through (unlikely, but...) We are locals so will probably spend most of the time by the pool and enjoying the resort instead of in the parks. I have Blue Bayou booked for my son's bi
Controversial. but we bought BLT without having stayed at that resort. While had a lovely time and the 1 bedroom villa was great, it ranks at the bottom of DVC resorts for me. I've realized I really value easy access to Epcot and solid quick service, and Contempo Cafe was just not our fave. This is a great argument for
I still talk about the Wild Africa Trek 12 years later - one of my favorite Disney memories of all time. I also really enjoyed Hoop De Doo Revue.
No date has been officially announced yet apart from "sometime in 2026." Eagerly awaiting one!
There are quite strict rules in place around what they can say publicly about a timeshare development before it has been approved for sale, so not really. Those who were around when BLT was constructed may remember that they denied the existence or claimed ignorance about the building even as it was completely vertical
I'm in the market for more direct points and am closely following the construction. I'll be very curious to see what the points charts and dues look like, too.
I haven't yet, but am planning on seeing it! Good to know it was made for IMAX - I'll make sure we buy tickets in that format.
Done! This tool is very fun to play with - love seeing how many members live close!
June: VDH trip for my son's 10th birthday (waitlisted at VGC) July: Keyholder Vacations/DVC Fan cruise (and my 40th!) with stays at AKL and Boardwalk before and after. I'll be coming with two friends from CA who are also celebrating their 40th birthdays this summer.
I am 15 mins from DL, but when going to WDW, I prefer the 4pm Delta departure out of LAX. It allows me to travel on day 0 (and work almost a full day) and then get up and going bright and early the next morning. The only downside is you have very limited food options that late. I often rent a car and stop at Waffle Hou
Doable at 7 months at VDH if you own direct points. Harder at VGC.
I am loving everyone's stories! Everyone has such a personal and unique approach to ownership. Keep sharing your stories! It is definitely not helping my addonitis though, lol!
While I wouldn't buy points there, I would definitely consider using my points there! I live in SoCal and head to Palm Springs for a long weekend about once a year. It would be great to have a DVC option there.
My 9 year old son and I went to Tokyo over Thanksgiving last year. I was so intimidated by the planning process, but the parks ended up being so easy to navigate. Everything was a step above in Tokyo. We can't wait to go back! I haven't been to Disneyland Paris in over 20 years. I am waiting for the Lion King flume rid
I love hearing everyone's stories! I am thinking I want to end up at ~400 points for a mix of studio long weekends and 1 bedroom trips, but we like the point heavy resorts, so....we'll see. Probably eventually more than that!
