    Split Stay Cons

    a potential con is varying expectations of your travel group; if everyone buys in to the idea your transfer day may not be ideal, you're more likely to be pleasantly surprised by a noon check-in at OKW vs. being disappointed by a 7pm check-in two tips for your consideration ... book a late...

    Dedicated Reservations for Rent FYI

    🤟 the chart is more fun if you consider what reasonable private rental rates are or what other rental companies charge curious if a reservation aggregation site might be of use?

    Gratuitous Transfers - do NOT use published Mail Address

    sorry to hear about that! you're right, the most recent title change form that Google finds has their old address (circa 2016, https://disneyvacationclub.disney.go.com/media/dvc/languagespecific/eng/faq/LTRTRANSRevised8-17-16.pdf) the DVC offices moved from that address sometime in 2021 to a...

    Looking at Saratoga Resale

    agreed, the various resorts certainly have different operations / maintenance / tax costs but not dramatically so on a per equivalent 2b basis (fictitious for PVB) ... at the same location (WDW); the logic follows that if the numerator (operations + maintenance + tax costs) is roughly the same...

    Permits 2022

    I read somewhere about the pirate rooms being removed from the resort; potentially they are taking the opportunity to do some maintenance in addition to a retheme?

    VGF 3 bedroom Grand Villa Coffee Pot?

    thanks! I updated the chart; I found a video tour of the demo unit with the combo drip / Keurig at RVA from last month it did puzzle me why RVA was Keurig only; it makes sense that they are converting to the combo unit

    VGF Expansion/Sales

    I suspect it’s just a request; good news is they are all the lowest price garden view rooms but the bad news is there are only four

    Top of the World Reopening Soon

    it would be mighty tough to squeeze much of a kitchen in unless they expanded the envelop of the lounge itself; plus there's the whole running of commercial kitchen infrastructure that may or may not have been accounted for on the 16th floor the white area above the lounge in the first image...

    Poly DVC Rooms

    I'd say your chances are pretty good; there are a lot of PVB owners and I imagine a decent number that rent their points out; availability is also wide open at the moment; you're asking for a good chunk of points as well so it lets the owner take care of renting a lot of points at once; the only...

    Why does Disney delay DVC referb's ?

    for sales I mostly focus on points; you're right they did increase the minimum for new owners over time; I'm not sure of the impact because I don't know if there were a ton of smaller initial deeds and I believe most of the people getting the smaller deeds we non-qualified owners that wanted to...

    Why does Disney delay DVC referb's ?

    I have something coming out in the near future you might enjoy 😉 as a preview, it's really hard to look at direct sales and draw any conclusions because there are so many variables; however, there are a few interesting points related to RVA ... in its first 52 weeks, RVA sold better than all...

    VGF to go on sale March 3

    My DVC Points has a video walkthrough; I believe it’s a mock-up in another building at the Grand Floridian (notice monorail out the window) but it’s been a while since I watched it so I might be misremembering https://mydvcpoints.com/villas-at-the-grand-floridian-resort-studio-tour/

    Booking Galactic Starcruiser with points

    just following-up, these point charts are all on the DVC website and have been for a while; not intending to offend, just wanted to highlight the information availability to anyone that is interested the site can sometimes be cumbersome but I think the point charts are pretty well laid out and...

    VGF to go on sale March 3

    I checked when prices first came out (midnight 3 Mar 2022) so brokers may have already adjusted; but at that time in the VGF resale market ... 33 of 53 (62%) of all resale listings are now cheaper direct 40 of 53 (75%) are within 5 USD (resale + 5 USD >= direct) 47 of 53 (89%) are within 10 USD...

    Why is Riviera resale so cheap?

    I like your analysis; sure there are things we all could nitpick but I think you have the broad strokes down and you've created it yourself so it's the best kind of analysis to make a decision; the things I like ... consistently doing your analysis in 2022 real (constant) USD; you could add...

    Why is Riviera resale so cheap?

    resale prices trend pretty well with direct prices; as direct prices rise, so do resale prices; in general you can expect about a 20-30% savings buying resale instead of direct (but there are exceptions!) what's probably most important is comparing apples to apples; on sale resorts (AUL + RVA)...

    DVC Website

    I had the same question ... ... but I could see this being the case the BWV accessible (wheelchair specifically) deluxe studio we were in did have a twin murphy; maybe they got feedback about spacing so adapted other resorts; now I'm curious if the same is true elsewhere!
