Will resale restrictions ever be reversed?
This is where I'd love a ROFR-monster opinion. If Disney can continue to sell Direct to folks, I doubt they'll care about resale values. They just ROFR the contracts where they see an opportunity to make more money selling those recouped points back as Direct. It will always be important to own where you'll want to sta
Funny Weird Disney Park Thing
The Mickey Ferris wheel at DL. After riding the first time and experiencing the unexpected shock when in one of the "extra" motion cars that move and swing while the wheel turns, my son and I were laughing it up in the Incredicoaster line. A local Magic Key holder overhead us in line and called it "Mickey's Wheel of De
Welcome Crawlers… Enter the Dungeon (Dungeon Crawler Carl Thread)
So....I started to read book 7 since the audiobook wasn't out yet (at the time), but it just wasn't the same. I ended up just waiting for the audiobook.
Transferring into a trust

Not sure about buying any points there though....looks like a big resort, with plenty of availability for the foreseeable future for those available to use their DVC points. That said, if there is a sweetheart deal on the table...well, never say never (looking at

Current through (audio) book 7. Awaiting the Jeff Hays narration masterpiece of book 8. Favorite character? Why Princess Donut, of course!
Private Transportation to/from MCO
We’ve used Orlando Limo multiple times for our family of four. Will be using them again for next trip as well.
Annual Passes or No?
Right on. Had the same thought and am trying this plan out this go around. As you mention, having the passes helps with any spontaneous trips.
Annual Passes or No?
Arguably the best benefit going Direct has going for it. Made the plunge this year and bought Sorcerer passes for all the reasons Ryan C listed above.
DVC Ownership Approach
Probably would do it differently, knowing what I do now, but… Bought 150 RIV Direct while captive on Disney Fantasy because of incentives/benefits/what we could afford, and wasn’t really aware of resale market at the time. After using points for first time (at Aulani!), realized the 1-BR is where it’s at for us, so add
Animal Kingdom Owners Thread
Have yet to stay here, but every time I catch content on it, I vow to make it happen! Being close to the animals and having that experience routinely has me thinking about a potential contract someday
Welcome to DVC Fan Forums!
Hey All! Mike here from Northern Virginia. Like many where I now live, I am a transplant from somewhere else (in my case, Michigan).
