If you stay in a 1 bed DVC, unless you are going at busy DVC times, you can book anywhere 7 months out, so buy the cheapest you can in that scenario.

Looks good. Saw the fireworks on The Tim Tracker on YouTube (great video on this, also went to Copper Creek) and fireworks did look really good.

I'd say buy resale, save thousands and if you really need the perks, buy a 25 point add on direct from Disney which they will then sell to you as an owner. I just bought at SSR. I had banked points on mine I rented out, bringing the cost per point down to $64 for 160 points. Disney are...

No use at all to UK DVC owners, unless you just happened to be on vacation at the time. These must most benefit those within a short drive. I have no doubt the event is a good perk if you can be there, but really it's just for the marketing, buy direct and get these 'exclusive' member perks...

Hi Just looked. For Sept you can get a 1 bed 4, 8,12,26,27,28,40. 2 bed villa 5, 6, 8, 11, 20, 21, 23, 26-30.All October and November available. It goes bang on 7 months in September think you'd possibly get a week as long as you were on at 8am Eastern time in September. This place has the worst...

Hi sorry I haven't been on for a week, my experiences may assist as I just completed on my SSR Resale this week and got my points. It took 5 weeks from making the offer to being able to book, which is very quick. I bought 160 SSR points with a Feb use year, so 2017's points have just come in...

On the subject of the £ are any UK DVC ers buying dining plan now? One point is dining plan on DVC has to be paid in dollars and it works out much more than the UK price now. I wouldn't buy it but it's another thing to consider- if you have to have Dining Plan and under a normal booking in your...

Here's hoping the pound goes up eh? I envy those who bought in 5 years ago at 1.80/£, it really was a bargain then.

Some good advice, above. However I don't agree it would take twice as long to break even going every two years. Simple reason being if you buy enough points to cover you every 2 years you buy half the points you would need every year, it is directly proportionate. I for example bought enough...

No problem. Disney allow you to buy only 25 points as an add on if you already own AT ANY DVC ( not just the one you're buying the add on at),. Otherwise it's 50 min. So if you buy a resale you can then buy that add on of 25 direct if you want. If you own at 2 different resorts, between 8 and...

I haven't looked at Dream finders figures but 1 beds can be phenomenally expensive. Most cost out at $3500+ a week (looking at AKL 1 bed now and it's £3750 a week, not dollars) . My points cost me $11,000 (after I rent last year's banked points which I can't use). If I rent AKL 1 bed savannah...

1) There are two lots of charts. For one set (albeit more concentrates on studios which are harder to book than 1 beds) Google 'Skier Pete' and 'dvc 7 month' and you should find his. Someone else put a 7 month, 1 week availability spreadsheet on a cloud service, this was for all room types...

Brilliant thanks for checking. 10 mins ago I just learnt I passed ROFR. I am so excited, I got a great loaded contract.

Thanks for checking, I haven't got my membership number yet so cannot check myself. It would be good to know if the availability is there from 22 August 7 months out. Could you do me a favour and look at Vero Beach from mid August 1 bed, is it possible to string 4 nights together starting say...

I always like it when someone tells me I'm better off than I thought, I did think I'd have to use my 2017 and 2018 points as I was booking in 2017 but I now see that Use year and current points balance makes no difference to when you can book. Thanks Monty.

Cheers pal. So the points have to be 'in' the year of travel for the trip, not necessarily available at the time said trip is booked? Cool I could rent both 2016 and 2017 points and make a good chunk of my resale back and still go in 2018 as planned, or maybe use some of those 2017 points for...

Morning Given I spent 8 months researching Dvc before buying in this is one basic question I cannot work out. I just bought a loaded contract with 2016 points banked into 2017, soon to get the 2017 points and of course the 2018 points. I am selling the banked points ASAP as I cannot go until...

Nearly a year later... It didn't affect prices much, maybe a little. If I was a Dvc owner who bought from Disney, I'd be unhappy. My contract worth a bit less, for what? Given the resale market has held up, this indicates resales held up, so demand held up, so not that many people...

It's not a good thing for you, as it has affected the resale value of your contract (a bit, not much).

The younger ones will like the fireworks and show down by the lighthouse. I am from UK and loved HHI when we went (stayed Parmetto Dunes I think it was called opposite Disney). We are just buying Dvc and I was wondering what 7 month availability for a 1 bed for back end of August is like? I'll...
