We are also on our first ever contract and also buying into the Boardwalk! We’re on like identical paths! We have been lucky enough to visit it on a number of occasions but have never stayed there! Its the location for us that’s the main selling point!

No. I closed on a resale contract just a few weeks ago and it took 7 days from the date the deed was recorded and Disney was told about the transfer. I've seen many reports of similar timelines from others. I think most title companies just keep saying 4-6 weeks because it used to take that long and, you never know when Disney could start taking longer.

Going off the theme of small take out dining in the parks, we love the corndogs at Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom. And it seems like every time we are there, a parade is going by. Add in the fact that it is right across the "moat" from the castle, it's a great quiet spot to grab a quick bite.

Excuse the photo quality this was in 2003! The famous Michal cutting my son's hair. My son is 9 months old here and had already had a trim at home lol so much hair. Anyway it's a favorite memory because Hildegard came into the barbershop and interacted with everyone! I think the barbershop quartet did too but I am not positive and can't find the video.

This is our first contract. BWV is our home resort. Ive never stepped foot in the resort but I've watched countless hours of YouTube walkthroughs that I feel like I've been there. We are excited to book our first stay

Yes we seem to be on a very similar timeframe! I’ll be interested to see if the timeframe trends between us continue! Are you a new owner like me or is this an additional contract? Assuming if you’re already in the system it could come through faster for you.

We seem to be on a similar timeframe, May 1 sent to Disney, May 13 passed ROFR, closed on May 20. I'm with you for wanting quick access to the points. Im itching to start booking vacations. My agent also said 4-6 weeks, but they also said up to 4 weeks for ROFR and it took a fraction of that time. So hopefully this stage is similar.

I'm back from my trip and Sunday the 16th was my Epic day. We got done what we wanted to but that probably wouldn't have happened without Early Park Admission (stayed at Portofino). We got Ministry, Hiccups Wing Gliders, Dragon Racers Rally, Monsters Unchained and Curse of the Werewolf done before 11:30am. The only wait was Werewolf. Exited the park around 12:30 and returned at 6:15pm (it was brutally hot. We had uv umbrellas but still). Did Stardust, ate dinner in Berk then off to Super Marioworld. Those waits were still high but we were there to look not ride . Very busy and chaotic with the music/noise. Back to Darkmoor! Monsters Unchained again, capped the night with Stardust Racers. So, a fun day! I only had the one day and I planned the hell out of this in advance and luckily it all worked out well. My son had a hopper and went back to Epic another night as well as he fell in love with Monsters Unchained. I wish we had time for the shows and if it was cooler we could have spent the day without leaving but that was not happening. Ministry and the Mario wait times never went down at night like all the blogs said (Yoshi did though) so I'm glad we didn't care about Mario and did Ministry first.

The 11 month window hasn't opened yet, you'll be fine getting BWV when it does. Maybe not standard view as those seem to be walked year round. That's assuming your points are loaded, I'm not familiar with how long that takes.

I don't have any timeframe to quote, but I wanted to say Congratulations 🎉 and Welcome Home! Booking May 15, is tight based on what they quoted, but you'll likely be fine. Just keep checking your inbox and Spam folder. And hopefully others who've closed a new resale contract recently can chime in for you.

For us it's definitely skyliner rides. We usually start our vacations with a non-park day to get groceries, strollers, etc but always make time to bus over to HS and hop on the skyliner. Sometimes we ride to a restaurant but mostly we'll just walk around, grab a coffee, and enjoy the vibes before getting back on again.

I'm not a huge Joffrey's girl and most of the coffee isn't strong enough for me BUT I was there last weekend and got an iced Gold Rush Latte (Wilderness Lodge) and then separately got an iced double shot of espresso. I mixed the extra espresso in to taste and it was positively delightful! I'll be doing this with the specialty coffees from now on!

Sorry to piggyback on your post but I also just passed ROFR on a contract at BWV I want to stay at my home resort for a week Saturday to Saturday May 15-22nd 2027. First of all do i have a hope in hell of getting the full 7 days or am j best bookinh it as a 4 and a 3 nights? What tips would you give someone new?

My contract for the Boardwalk was sent to Disney for ROFR on May 1st and came back on May 13th My sale has just closer and Disney has been notified of the change in ownership either yesterday or today. Does anyone know how long it takes from here currently for someone buying in for the first time? My Escrow agent says Disney typically takes 4-6 weeks to complete the transfer. Disney will send me two emails to activate & create your account. The vacation points can take up to an additional two weeks to be loaded in your account. Is that accurate at the current time?

Going in a different direction here…but the cheddar, bacon, and ranch tots at The Friar’s Nook in Magic Kingdom are a must-do for us every trip! Kind of a hidden a gem in the sense that this location usually closes early too, so if you’re not careful you definitely miss out!

We did use DVC travel insurance years ago. Now we only purchase it outside of DVC only when cruising or leaving the country. For people who travels multiple times a year (DVC/non DVC), you can purchase a yearly policy for all your trips. I have not done this but read there is one. When we went to Italy on our own, I purchased mainly for medical reasons. Did not know that was an option until I called to ask some questions (don't remember if it was Alliance or Travelguard at the moment).

I own at two resorts and was not a problem when the kids were young and were in the same villa with us. If we needed extra points at one resort stay, I would borrow. Now that the kids (two out of three) own their own DVC contract at another resort (three with mine/use some of my points), it became difficult to stay at the same resort when we all want to travel together (4 bookings). We have had some luck with waitlisting. It is nice to have multiple resorts and have enough in each to cover one complete stay. Pick and choose which one you want to stay in when your 11 month window opens up and it is necessary to book at that time. When you want a larger villa, extra villas for yourself, family or friends - you might not be together. It's all good. Just our travels plans/patterns change daily or down the road. If my sons had one of my same resort, it would have been nice/easier :)

Years ago the pack and play was in the closet. Now you need to request one and last two trips, it was not in the room waiting for us. NP - it was brought up right away (for my grandchildren). The pack and play was what was used most. They stopped requesting the crib.

April here. When we bought, we went during the summer months/end of August mostly since the kids were still in school. April made sense at the time - I think - not sure if that is UY they were selling or it was recommended for our travel needs. We did not understand it 100% - at least not as much as a few years later once we started using DVC. Years down the road, it did not become the best UY since we were close to/became empty nesters and we traveled just the two of us mostly March/April and Fall. We managed but the Spring stays were always, "what if we have to cancel".

I second everything @airjay75 said. Pick based on when you won't go. We go to DL regularly, but our least likely months are Mar, Apr, May, so June made the most sense. I also didn't ask what they would sell us when I purchased our contract. I called in January and asked for 200 VDH points with a June UY. The guide didn't even blink.

We haven't figured out our "enough" number yet. We bought enough for studio visits and then quickly realized that a 1 bed is going to be next, so we're looking at adding soon. What would make me buy more direct? A flash sale for VGC with prices near VDH. I wouldn't be able to dial fast enough.

I think I'd have an easier time trying to come up with a list of resorts I don't want to try. LOL On second thought... I want to try them all. I've never been to WDW, so I have a long list. 😆 As for bucket list... I want to do a VIP tour at some point. Just to say I did. I've done several of the regular tours and love them! I need to do OBB at some point. We're going to try to scratch that one off the list this year. Christmas in WDW is also high on the list. And then, when I'm really dreaming, I want to visit all the parks across the globe some day.

VDH was our first DVC purchase. We're Magic Key Holders living in Arizona, so we do frequent 2-4 day stays, often during the week, to stretch our points. @DVCken We bought it sight unseen. I booked a cash stay after a year of research - I wanted to go stay at, not just tour, the resort before deciding. I had such a grand plan. Then I added up how much we'd spent on lodging during the previous 12 months and I was blown away. I called to buy points the next day. Didn't even make it to our cash stay. 🤣 DVD easily converted our cash booking into points, so our first time on the property was also our first stay. We love it! VGC will likely be our next purchase as I've always loved that resort, but we're absolutely delighted with VDH. No regrets.

I am planning a stay for September 2027. Hoping to get a one bedroom at seven months for 4-5 nights. We will be pairing it with 3-4 nights at Grand Cal (our home resort) on the way back. 8 nights total, not sure of the breakdown just yet. DW and I have been watching tons of Youtube videos about Aulani and can't wait to check it out. We stayed at HHI a few years back and loved the vibe of staying at Disney without the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. It is actually what convinced us to buy our first DVC contract.

Yeah, that May heat in Orlando is quite jolting. It does get downright tropical in my neck of the woods but not until June and July. Winter sounds like a good plan! DW and I have talked about doing Festival of the Arts quite a bit. We have December use year, so it definitely would work out.

Hollywood Studios got a new baby care center! This new one by The Magic of Disney Animation building replaces the old one by Guest Relations. It looks like a nice upgrade since that old one was always felt too small, and the location is much more convenient too. https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/the-magic-of-disney-animation/news/23may2026-hollywood-studios-baby-care-center-moves-to-new-walt-disney-studios-courtyard-location.htm?fbclid=IwY2xjawR-sC5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFXek9sQWZsWjJHSzg3Rzloc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHoxnIYwh8CHjjfopmKhdm1cVuTnw41rchEvBd9GwZ98RG40MnDoDymylh03m_aem_o09CJREC3Zn0-vkL-dMcHA

We became owners with a resale contract at Copper Creek in 2023. We had never stayed at WL but had visited many times. The two lodges really have my heart. Driving in, the landscaping changes and it really feels like you’re in a different world - Disney at its best. We were able to get a studio before Christmas last year. Family is growing and babies and toddlers seem to need so much stuff, so we may skip CCV studios for a while, but are looking at adding points and hope to try the 1BR and 2BR soon. Haven’t dared to dream about a cabin yet.

Week of 05/16/26 – 05/22/26 I was feeling restrained. Here is the lone morsel I plucked from the buyer's table: Grand Californian — 1 contract. avg price: $244 See ya next week. Stay hungry, buyers. — The ROFR Monster

I purchased last year and this year. Renewing my AP is definitely worth it to me. Last year also bought points (12/12). The lounge priority is a nice perk and used it twice this year and will do so again end of year.

This is why I chose Polynesian though: good resort with a variety of room sizes, good eating and transportation options, and a lot of character. If I can only use my resale Polynesian there after 2042, I will in no way be disappointed. So…I’m not sure I’d feel it’s a loss in the way someone who never wants to stay at their home resort would. Of course my direct points are at VDH, because a restricted contract there only makes sense for those living nearby in my opinion. And after 2042, I can still use those elsewhere, if I wish.

We went to the Epcot Flower and Garden last May. We also stayed at the Boardwalk. Very surprised at how hot May could be. The Boardwalk was baking! Even the locals were complaining! Thunderstorms did not help the humidity. We really enjoyed it and really want to do Flower and Garden again, just a bit earlier, say April, and escape the heat, hopefully. Until thin we will stick with winter trips.

Precisely! We bought 250 points back in 1996. 2042 was so far in the future as to be nearly invisible! Now it is coming up like a wet kiss on a fast fist! We also started adding on to ensure we can keep our DVC fix. Little did we know that Adding On becomes a bit addictive! By the time 2042 rolls around, we will be in our mid 80's. I sure hope we are able to continue our twice yearly escapes to the Disney bubble. However, we just added our grown children to our deeds. Perhaps they will want to add on to replace the 250 points that will be lost. Until then, we are going to enjoy the ride!

On our first ever stay we had booked a 2bdrm at BLT as a cash stay. When we arrived we were told there was something wrong with the only available 2br, so they put us in a suite on the club level in the Contemporary. The club level amenities are nice, but i would never pay the cash prices to have them. My guess is id never opt to spend the points on it either, but i also do try to max out my points

IMO the size of the rooms and the balconies in the one and two bedrooms are OKW's biggest selling points. Vibe is nice but as a former boss of mine said about restaurants - you can't eat ambience.

We typically stay in studios and have never seen a pack 'n play already in the room since before the pandemic, but it's easy to request either by calling housekeeping from the phone in the room or even using the Hey Disney device. Both worked!

I enjoy both resorts very much. Each on their own have things going for them. SSR rooms are furnished nicely and the proximity to Disney Springs can't be beat. OKW does edge out SSR though. As people have said the vibe at OKW is much better. I think it is more energic but not crazy busy like the Poly or GrandFlo. In addition, the rooms are huge and if you are in 1 bedroom or more, you have a real patio.

Great episode. Being Poly owners, ours is definitely the Bungalows. But its so hard to justify the point cost, especially when we usually just need a studio or 1 bedroom. 2nd choice would be 1 bedroom ocean view in Aulani!

Usually have to request it after your room is ready. When I've requested it before the cast members make a note in your reservation, but they generally dont know what room you'll be assigned until they start to become available so they don't know what room to bring it to until your room number is assigned. Have stayed at about half the resorts and have been able to get a portable crib each time.

I also think this is just a personal decision. My FOMO was strong so we ended getting 160 direct with a 100resale contract at poly. No regrets. Not sure we will use the sorcerors pass every year but we will make sure to get it when it makes sense. There is also value in being able to stay at any resort. In 2042, my resale poly will lose value.

Way back when before we bought DVC, we used to go to the Royal Palm Club at yhe Grand Floridian for a week at a time. All cash stays, then i did the research, and the math and we bought VGF. After two years we had made back what we were at the break even point. Now, for a treat, I’ll book a two day add on at the end of a stay just to get that pampered feeling again. Pro-tip — if you do it as a bounce back, you’ll get a discount over rack rates. So if you’re adding onto an existing DVC reservation you can call when you arrive and get the bounce back offer for the end of your stay.

We will hold until 2042. Its our favorite resort and we originally bought it with the intent of being done with dvc in 2042. I didnt like the idea of paying dues for forever. especially once my kids are grown and hopefully hustling in college to make a life. But of course the dvc bug bit us. We bought a small BLT contract so that we have extra points to have one bedrooms now. Then once our kids are grown, it can be a fun trip for me and my husband to go every other year. Win now and win later.

We originally got the Sorcerers pass after getting the blue card and the savings on that vs the Incredi-pass were pretty significant, more or less offsetting the maintenance fees on the 150 pt contract. However the Christmas week is now back in our annual rotation of trips to Florida so we are back to the more expensive pass. As long as you make two trips to Disney buying a pass is probably worth it

If annual passes are not going to be a consideration I cant see the reason. Its nice to have access to restricted resorts and member lounges but neither is worth that kind of price tag.

It is obviously a very personal decision, but we made the jump to get to 150 this year and are very thankful we did. We are hybrid now, and having the blue card does make a difference. The discount is better on DVC than the visa, lounge access is great, and you get the flexibility of using your points at the newer resorts. While you haven't done annual passes previously, you may end up changing that in the future. (We live in Chicagoland, get down to WDW 1-2 times per year. You can very easily save money by getting the Sorcerer's Pass). All that to say- if you're looking for a guy to help support it, I'm here for ya! We love the blue card and would recommend it.

With all the media talking about Cool Kids Summer, I've seen a few articles mention that Disney has added more room amenities that you can request for younger kids, including: Bed bumpers instead of bedrails (I feel like this happened a little while back technically.) Bottle warmers and sterilizers Infant bathtubs Diaper disposal units Night lights Bathroom step stools (I really hope the newer DVC refurbs will include these--the one at Kidani was so helpful!)

See, I was going to save money and skip HHN because I'm going to CA in Feb and I went to the houses in Vegas for my birthday and now, now they drop Sinners on us. I am never going to financially recover from this.

I think your mind is already made up since you used the term "overpay". Overpay means lack of value. However, I would vote for getting the blue card when you can and being hybrid owners with all of the benefits. I generally subscribe to buy it nice or cry twice (or buy once cry once). That also means you shouldn't get AKL just because there's a flash sale unless you really love AKL. If you don't care where, I'd suggest Poly, which will have a longer contract and better retention of value. Alternatively, I'd consider adding on at VGF so that you can have a better home booking advantage. Go with whatever you feel is right for you and your family.

I just completed this with a $100 "test" transaction and got 11x rewards points. Since those points can usually be redeemed for 1.25 cents per point (when used to "pay yourself back" for eligible purchases), the 1100 points is worth $13.75 making this 13.75% off. If you redeem points for travel, you can often get 2+ cents per point.

I have an amazing TA (withDisguy), and he's been so helpful with booking DCL cruises. He walked me through everything DCL, gave me OBC, and waited on hold with Disney for me multiple times.

Here are my thoughts on FOMO. Now is the time where resale contracts will give you access to 12+ different hotels. In twenty years, this option will be extremely limited. So now is the chance to take advantage of what i consider a great deal.

We have 150 points at BWV and would love the extension if they offered it. Fairly confident they won't after the OKW debacle though. Maybe they will be crazy enough to try it again. One can hope!

We went to the Harmony Barbershop for both of my kids for first haircuts. The ears are so cute, and they really make it a special experience. The cast members are so patient and fun to talk to. I loved it! However, my kids were less than thrilled with the whole experience. It's funny how similar their expressions are in the pictures! 🤣

I just love walking at WDW. If there’s a path somewhere on property, I want to walk it. I really hope there’s going to be a trail between WL and Campgrounds when the new resort opens.

We have stayed AKL CL many times, only on points, I'd never pay cash prices, its worth it on points for sure. Especially for us beause we are local and go to the parks a lot, so when we go to AKL CL its just to relax. chill, and take advantage of the amenities( mostly the food and drinks lol) . I think if you aren't going to be in the parks open to close its defiinitely worth it. But if you are a go all day kinda parks person, and you're just at the resort to sleep. then its not worth it even on points.

I'd be curious to hear how others make it work with multiple UYs. We own 125 resale at Copper Creek and are thinking of 150 direct with Poly this summer. I'm tempted to stagger the use years for the purposes of Magical Beginnings but don't know if that would end up being a huge mistake. Coincidentally we have done split stays each time we've been to WDW with points since purchasing, so it might be manageable, but I'm sure its hard to know beforehand.

Will pick OKW every time due to the vibe... I will say that the SSR rooms are kind of on the level of Riveria since the refurb (although only have stayed ina 1 BR), so if you think those rooms at the Riveria but don't relaly "need" the vibe (or skyliners) then SSR is a fairly decent resort, especailly for the price!

The Walt Disney World Speedway. It was the home to the Richard Petty Driving Experience. I believe they closed it about 10 years ago and extended out the MK Parking lot and maybe put a smaller lake in for wet land conservation.

We used to love the monorail a lot more. The last several times we've ridden it's been super crowded and we were lucky if we got to sit down. Getting on at the Contemporary feels a bit like the Hunger Games.

I find it easier to have them under the same Use Year (I have 3 home resorts under the same Use Year), but if you never plan to combine your points, having different Use Years isn't problematic. Here are some things to consider if it's helpful: https://dvcfan.com/purchasing-dvc/home-resort-and-use-year-considerations-for-adding-on-dvc-points/

I'm still in research mode so I'm just parroting what I've heard in podcasts and videos but... Location doesn't matter between WDW, DL, and Aulani. Different use year will mean a different member number. You have to call Member Services to use the points together. It sounds like unless you have zero intention to ever use points from both contracts on one trip it is better to keep 1 UY for everything.
