Split Stays?
they are not for me... I hate how much time is lost by having to transition... especially when dealing with kids... I'm also someone who wants to fully unpack and fully pack... so having to do it twice doesn't real excite me.. Now, if I were a UK tourist coming for 14 days, perhaps after a week I'd want to do the secon
Summer DVC Incentives
It also allows them to “tailor” the pricing more to each individual buyer with the new additional discounts that have emerged in recent months that are only for certain constituency groups.
Dining plan vs DVC Discount
you really have to have the free kids dining thing and be eating at the right restaurants to make it work... it can be done, and isn't bad for shorter trips, but the longer the trip, the less we could make the math work...
What is an extra that is worth the value?
most of the extras are where you really find the Disney difference.... I hope they continue to offer these kinds of products for a while!
Bought Sight Unseen
I'd be inclined to buy a 300-350 point HHI island contract without ever going there... And then using it to stay, and if I liked it, keeping it, and if I didn't either using those points elsewhere or selling the thing again...
Summer DVC Incentives
they'll go live after midnight at some point tomorrow... as in you'll have to wait all day Monday, and then after midnight at some point the new incentives are live... but I'm not sure they do the same sheets they used to, so we might not really know the pricing structure until Tuesday morning.... When we bought in 202
Tracking the New Lakeshore Lodge "Letters from Lakeshore" updates
If the price the points chart akin to the Polynesian Tower there better be more than just a Lazy River to justify that... I'm thinking it will be priced with a category between BLT Resort/Saver View and BLT Preferred View as the Standard, and then a Premium Category which will be notched between BLT Preferred View and
Advice on using leftover points?
Onetime Use Points. You can also buy additional points from members using a "transfer" process. There are limits to transfers - 1 per year. There are some sites (not sure if this is one) that will help coordinate transfers between members.
I’m Planning Our First Direct Purchase — Follow Along
I'd point out that there will be a hit with Poly should you sell as well... Might not be as much as RIV, but there is still a hit between that direct sale price, and then what it will sell for, and the Estoppel plus commission (which I think is quite high - 9.5% or so of your purchase price).
What’s the “temperature” out there for Cabins at FW resales?
hard to get into them for more than a night here or a night there if you don't own them... resale is tough to find just because they haven't had enough direct sales go through... as such, the resale price has been higher than I would have predicted for a rather niche offering...
April 2026 ROFR Report
glad to read some contracts made it through, and they are still processing contracts this week. will be curious to see if ROFR Monster gets a few tasty treats next week!
Unpopular DVC Opinions
How could this be unpopular? Only with accountants and bean counters! Would have been amazing!
Grand Floridian — Joke’s on you, contract!
Congratulations! What a magnificent resort! Welcome Home! Hope 25 points keeps you at bay for a while!
I’m Planning Our First Direct Purchase — Follow Along
If you're worried that you're going to feel left out, and want to go Direct... and think/know you're going to hold this thing forever... depending on your age I'd do Riviera... Long term I think it will offer more utility than AKV or Polynesian... Now, if you're a Polynesian lover, I'd say buy that... If you want AKV,
The Disney Gift Card Deals Megathread
Does anyone know of a credit card giving bonus spend cash-back for warehouse clubs in May? Last year the Sams deal lined up very nicely with the Discover 5% cash back bonus. This year, not so much. I'll still take 10% off, but just trying to get that number closer to 15 if possible... For whatever it is worth, disneyto
Disney Inspire Visa Card Discussion
Yes, you are... provided you apply for a new card you can get the signup bonus. Do not upgrade your card.
Disney Inspire Visa Card Discussion
I've heard from others most of the credits post when the statement closes. We have yet to use the Ticket Credit or the Hotel Room/Cruise Credit.
What do we thing the REAL number is for the Average # of vacation points members have?
Yeah.... we went from studios to one bedrooms very quickly... as in I think after about 1-2 stays... Then we went from 1 bedrooms to 2 bedrooms... The number of points you need doesn't go down I am finding!
