We are doing this and have there separate 150 Point contracts eligible for member benefits that we plan on individually adding our three daughters to so that each of them gets one of the contracts eventually.
Yup completely agree, but less so because of benefits but rather anything Riviera and newer will require direct points to stay there unless you own there via resale (and you can’t stay anywhere else). The member benefits are nice too!
Just added onto with a new Poly contract, but we’re already eyeing a possible BLT contact as it’s the most economical of the monorail resorts. And I reeeally like the Joey Chou art! Really am interested in Lakeshore Lodge but not sure we’ll ever buy one of the resale restricted properties, even direct.
Welcome! A warning though, the FOMO never ends as you’ll eventually catch addonitis:)
True, but those properties are all “similar” and will track the same kind of buyer for either one. The kind of buyer that wants to buy and stay at Lakeshore Lodge isn’t the same kind of buyer that wants to stay at a cabin in the woods, in my opinion. I just don’t see them combining to somewhat different types of proper
We’ve only stayed in the one bedrooms of each, in fact, just staying at Saratoga this past weekend for the first time. We all agree that we prefer OKW way more, especially in the one bedrooms where the size difference is absolutely noticeable. Like you, we do wish OKW had elevators in every building and had multiple en
We primarily stay in the one bedrooms due to our family size and I really want to see the Murphy beds and the one bedrooms as well. I’m not sure how possible to be given the window arrangement in the one bedrooms, but they have to figure out a way to get rid of the pullout couches. The other biggest change has to be th
That’s exactly what we did just a few months ago, picked up a 150 point Poly contract because it’s the last on sale property that will not be subject to resell restrictions if and when we need to sell them.
If I had to guess the current point is about 200, however, 200 points doesn’t get you very much anymore with regards to the newer resorts unfortunately so that number will probably keep going up:(.
I concur that Old Key West has the best balconies because they are actually usable with a full table and chairs, and not just a couple bistro chairs.
I have done a few of them. The biggest downside is the check-in time is not necessarily at 4 PM, so I feel as though you’re actually getting less value out of your points if you do split days because you lose however many hours it takes to get to the next room. For those that are doing full park days, it may not be so
It will almost certainly be separate. CCV and BRV are separate, for example. Since DVC has a 50 year timeframe , I can’t see them wanting to artificially limit a brand new building by a few years, just to add to an existing association. I would say the Polynesian is unique in that regard because it’s just an add-on to
I should say last one available(actively selling), on sale, and at a reasonable price.
Everyone on the registration gets a water park ticket automatically added to their MDE app on any check in day.
We're about an hour away and the Sorcerer pass pays for itself in ~10 visits usually and we go way more than that on average.. plus the water park option is only $100.
The biggest thing is knowing how much money you'll be saving in 10 years vs not buying today. Even with annual dues, being able to stay in Deluxe properties for the price of a moderate is a huge plus. I'm also a huge buy direct proponent for at least some or a good chunk of your points. They've already stated that any
We also just bought Poly in the last month or so, also direct, as it's the "last" resort without future restrictions. We'll eventually try to stay at some point, but the tower point chart is scary on some days :(
I see them going straght to 200 points for the next bump, and probably around the time LSL going on sale. Reason being is the new point charts on all the new resorts make having just 150 points not enough for many decent stays at said new resorts.
