    Magic Kingdom ranks as 2nd most favorite amusement park in the U.S. !

    What on earth are you basing this on? I like Thunder Mountain, it's a classic; but it has nothing on Hulk. The two rides really aren't comparable.

    Are people really worried about getting their phones wet on Splash Mountain?! Is this a real thing?

    Could a New Park be on the Horizon?

    Wait, people are saying this about the FOX acquisition? Have they not noticed The Muppets, Star Wars, Avatar (yes, I know it's not owned by Disney), Marvel, etc.

    Math on DVC Resales

    If you can sell your points, at will, for $17/ point, then that's great for you. Most can't. If you have a credit card that pays roughly 4% (eyeballing) cash back, again, great for you. Most don't have this luxury. I'm simply trying to get on an even and level playing field here. I don't know...

    Math on DVC Resales

    Perhaps I missed it. Show me the post where a 2042 resort contract, purchased today, is a better value than a 2050+ resort contract purchased today.

    Math on DVC Resales

    I don't believe credit card rewards points are a fair metric. Nor are contract points the same cost as one time use points directly from Disney. What resort is this for?

    I'm not arguing anything here...the numbers speak for themselves.

    Magic Kingdom ranks as 2nd most favorite amusement park in the U.S. !

    For non-Disney fanatics, Disney doesn't have very many appealing updates compared to Universal. HP, FnF, Despicable Me, Fallon, Transformers...all new and appealing to the masses. I think Star Wars will shift the tide. However, no one really cares about Avatar. Toy Story is a fragmented movie...

    I agree, which is why I'm using real-time prices to justify my points. No one else really seems to be doing that.

    Math on DVC Resales

    My apologies...then I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. I'm not intentionally attempting to skew your words, but you post stuff like this.... I don't know what that means!! "Financial valuation" and "intrinsic value" are terms used for investing! SSR resale is $40/pt...

    Math on DVC Resales

    To be fair, I said 2042 properties (get rid of SSR). The issue I have with many of your statements...you seem to act as if DVC is an investment property; it's not. These are pre-paid vacations. Even Disney states as such: The purchase of an ownership interest should only be used for personal...

    Math on DVC Resales

    Correct. I've succinctly shown, using basic math and real-time numbers, the accuracy of both statements. Your counter to my posts are often long-winded, containing general statements and little to no real-time examples. Just show me the numbers and I'll acquiesce. It's not that hard. You...

    Math on DVC Resales

    YOU keep going off on irrelevant tangents! And then you try to pass of a finance disclaimer as an excuse for why Disney doesn't publicly post prices for older DVC resorts. The price per point has NOTHING to do with financing. This is actually a formal Mortgage application. The negotiated...

    Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls <-- THAT'S soaked. Splash Mountain...a modest spray on the glasses and shirt.

    Math on DVC Resales

    I asked for a Disney sponsored website which lists the DVC direct price for all resorts. You didn't provide one. Therefore, I'm assuming it doesn't exist. Secondly, the boilerplate disclaimer that you highlighted is in regards to financing! ...and relies on assumptions and information provided...

    Math on DVC Resales

    I highly dispute this fact. The seller is providing their own price. Why would any reputable agent allow the seller to waste their time and buyers time? If I offer your asking price, you accept. Otherwise, we're just wasting our collective time. We've definitely gone off on a tangent... My...

    Magic Kingdom ranks as 2nd most favorite amusement park in the U.S. !

    I'm guessing I've been to MK roughly 50 times in my life. I just came back from visiting Universal for the first time. Honestly, I had a better time at Universal. Full disclosure: we bought the express passes. But were able to do both parks in a single day. The longest ride we waited for was...

    Worst of the 4 Parks?

    I'd put AK on the top of that list. Avatar (Pandora) is a movie franchise (potentially) and really fits in with the DHS theme. I have no clue why it was built in AK.

    Math on DVC Resales

    Show me a Disney sponsored website which lists the DVC direct price for all resorts. Disney has no problem displaying the direct price for their newest resorts. Why aren't they doing the same for the other resorts as well?
