    150 points to start. Once were settled in a few years we will add another 100 possibly, At OKW 150 will do what we need it to do.

    Weve decided to go Direct. Disney is making it super easy, and its something we can afford, and make larger payments on. Seemed like the right thing to do. Ive got an appointment to call the rep ive been working with to get the ball rolling monday.

    We never thought of the APs until we came across that video. LIke it was never on our radar. We always said " were not AP people. But if we have it, and say are down for a Resort only, but want to run to EPCOT or MK for an afternoon just to ride something or buy something new, we can.. i like...

    It is. I think it comes down to looking at the extra years, and the benefits. vs a pure " but its cheaper" financial look i guess.

    Its just beating the " but its cheaper" out of us. I have a note in for a few more questions to the direct rep im talking about. its 5 dollars off a point per point right now direct for OKW so thats something.

    It's funny... My wife and I say down for my learning tonight, and stumbled on a resale vs direct, and if you factor in discounts etc, and having the points now and banking them etc, I think she may of decided we may need to go direct as it's easier... It's 5 dollars off a point right now till...

    Old Key West 2057

    We're doing our research. Alot of it comes down to we just don't know in 21 years where we will be. I'll be 55 and my wife 61. Will we have decided it was fun, but we can't do it anymore, or will we have purchased more points and it's time to downsize points anyways so the expiration works out...

    Out the door price before any financing ( short term with yearly lump payments) for direct was 24000 for 150 points ending in 2057. I can get a 2042 resale for 15 and some change for 160 points.

    So in this case were likely better off going with the resale at OKW then you think? Yea thats a big NO on SSR. Its a place i Never want to stay, or in a situation where i need to stay there.

    Called Disney and for 150 points direct, vs 160 points resale, over the length of the contract. 21 years not counting this year, and 26 direct. DIsney direct was 150 more a year. was worth a call, but that seems to me to be a bit much.

    Old Key West 2057

    SO you would assume that anything listed as a 2042 contract has a quitclaim? a 2042 isnt as bad as it sounds the more i think of it. Ill be 55 and my wife will be 61. will we still want to then? will we be able to? We can always buy more points to cycle those out too. We want to get at least...

    Old Key West 2057

    LOL its ok. I put in a contact me request at a reseller, and got a call back immediately. They said there is no such thing as a quitclaim, and unless someone did it, the deed ends in 2042. if they did do it, its sold as 2057, or direct is 2057. Honestly to get our feet wet, were thinking 2042...

    Talk to me about Pros and Cons of Resale/ How many points would we need.

    We have fallen in love with OKW. Im 33 and my wife is 39, so the 2042 still puts us within travel age etc. So thats what has me a bit concerned. I rather go resale as its a better bang for your buck.

    I know this is an old thread, but im looking at OKW to buy into. If i buy a 2042 contract, can i contact DVC and then pay for the extension to 2057? If so that makes these contracts even better to us.

    Talk to me about Pros and Cons of Resale/ How many points would we need.

    We watched videos of SSR last night, and these exact things were turn offs for us too, and the kitchen setup was odd.... we would of only considered buying there for value, and longer contract.

    Talk to me about Pros and Cons of Resale/ How many points would we need.

    The only thing i am struggling with is the 2042 expiration year. Current plan is to buy a 150-160 point resale contract. We can pay this off in a couple years. once thats done, we will by another 100 point contract. This gives us 2 home resorts etc, as long as we stay in the same use year etc...

    Deluxe Resort with Slides?

    Got back recently from Kidani Village. If i was doing a resort only id go there. Its far enough away from the hustle and bustle that i almost forgot i was near parks. The animals were amazing, plus Sanaa!! the pools is zero entry, and theres a smaller water slide for the little ones, as well as...
