In order to new add points to the "pie" they would have to declare new inventory. For the number of rooms LSL has, I believe only a certain portion of the inventory will be declared at open, but I believe that they eventually plan on declaring 95-98% of the inventory for DVC. So, they will be selling LSL for the next 1
The animals are what draws most people to the resort. Without them, you might as well stay/own at Copper Creek or Boulder Ridge and have cheaper dues and have close proximity to Magic Kingdom.
I like how the concept pic of Branch and Brush has about 20 people in it. I think they need to add another 70-80 people to make it realistic.......
I can see how this would make sense to a seller as they could make more money off of their sale, but I don't see any advantage to Disney. In Disney's eyes there is no loss of value in the DVC, and there would be no incentive for them to broker a purchase of $200/pt. when they could buy it themselves, and then sell it f
I think a lot of people refer to these points as "sleep around points". Points to use on random nights/trips outside of your main vacation stay's. We tend to be point misers. We like to stay in Studio's (value studios if we can get them) in order maximize our number of nights per year. As empty nesters we don't feel a
A similar question was recently asked on the DVC Fan Facebook page. The general consensus was that it is not in Disney's interest to do it because they want people to buy, and more importantly finance, through them. With being able to add on direct perks/"blue card" benefits there would be no incentive to buy direct. P
We found it best to always be ready, so we walk 3-4 miles everyday. You never know when a cheap flight may present itself and/or a random room availability may pop up for a weekend!!
I've got a completely different thought process. I would go with a February or March use year. With a February use year you need to bank by 9/30 and for March you would have until 10/31. Even though you always go in September, just in case something happens, I would want until 9/30 or 10/31 to bank my points. You never
We got the closing email on 7/28, and the contract and points were added to our account on 8/17.
Do you have a delayed closing? I've seen it where, using this as an example, the sellers have a trip planned in February 2027 using 2028 points, and they can close right after. There could be other explanations, this is the just the one I have seen.
That would be interesting if the Wilderness and Lakeshore have to share a bus route. Is Wilderness Lodge sharing one with Fort Wilderness now? I could see Fort Wilderness and Lakeshore having to share a route, but I would have thought the Wilderness Lodge would have its own run.
I think the location that surprised me the most on this was AKL with 1644 rooms between Jambo and Kidani. The fact that they share bus service, and its their only mode of transportation, it is surprising that they don't have bigger transportation issues. I can't think of a time that I had to wait for a second bus. On t
We just closed on Monday so I'm sure we have another week or two before they post. Its good to hear the current time lines.
Congratulations on the accepted offer!!!! I know we just had a CC contract pass ROFR about 2 weeks ago, and it took just over two weeks to pass. Two weeks, give or take a couple of days, seems to be about what others have been waiting lately as well. I don't know about the banking of points. With the listing agreement,
We took the walking path from OKW to SSR over to the Pro Shop. We didn't see any "wild life" to speak of unless you count the construction workers zipping around on the Kubota ATV's.
We will be there this weekend. My wife is already on the look out for snakes and alligators, now she will have to add otters to the list.
There is no telling for sure what the price of LSL will be, but it has been said that it will have the resale restrictions in place if you were to sell the contract or buy a resale LSL contract. With your direct Poly points you will be able to book the LSL at the 7 month window. With as many DVC rooms LSL will have, I
1 step closer to joining the CC!! Past ROFR on Wednesday!
We have a split stay starting next Friday (3 nights) and another one in November (4 nights). As new DVC owners from Michigan, we figure this is a great way to check out multiple resorts each trip to determine what we like, and what we don't. I would hate to book a weeklong trip at a resort we had not stayed at before,
