Jenn, we love your videos! After watching dozens, we've purchased 3 DVC contracts; Riviera 200 pts., Beach Club 150 pts., and AK 100 pts. My question is; can we combine points from two or more contracts for a room? Meaning, can we use A & B to rent C? Thanks for the helpful advice.
@TheMagicInTheMusicКүн бұрын
Hello there! I'm so glad that you found our videos to be helpful. Yes, you can combine contracts at different resorts to make a reservation at the 7 month window. As long as the room you wish to book is available, you can do it. There are some potential additional restrictions if you purchased any of your contracts as resale.

Do you find that a lot of Americans don’t treat these places very well? For example, how many people take off their shoes at the entrance or pay attention to their suitcases in order to not damage walls or cupboards?

I think it varies from one guest to the next. We always try to be extremely careful and take good care of things, but sometimes kids unintentionally mess things up, and these rooms have A LOT of guests who are children.

DVC would rather that you didn't know about resale. While it's a great fit for some, there will always be some owners who prefer direct, though. We like having a combination of both.

Your kids are pretty lucky. I literally tried to do at least breakfast and dinner even when I'm in the studio.. it's easy to order Walmart plus and get Frozen entrees and ready-made salads.

It depends on the type of trip we're doing. If we have other people with us, we typically buy most meals. But if it's just us and our kids, we try to keep costs down by eating breakfast in the room.

If I get a resale 50 pt contract to OKW, and another 50 pt contract at Poly… can I use 100 pts to book 11+ months at OKW or Poly?

Each contract would retain its own home resort 11 month booking window. You would not be able to combine the points for bookings until the 7 month window.

What do you think will happen in 2042 when points start to expire?
@TheMagicInTheMusic8 күн бұрын
No one really knows. All we know is that the contracts end and the owners have nothing at that point. We don't own any 2042 resorts, so I wouldn't have to worry about that until much later. Of course with 18 years left on those contracts, some older DVC owners might not even care what happens 18 years from now while others will.

@TheMagicInTheMusic8 күн бұрын
Yes, it is possible to buy "sold out" resorts direct from DVC, but you'll be paying their full price. If you don't mind a few resale restrictions, you'll get a much lower price purchasing resale. On the other hand, buying direct is MUCH faster.

It depends. If you have multiple contracts at the same resort, you can combine those points to book at 11 months. If they are different resorts, you could book a split stay between two resorts, or book one trip on one contract and then alternate and book a different trip on another contract.

I knew going in that I wanted 650 points but couldn’t afford that many points out the gate and I didn’t want to buy 1 contract with that many points. I told the agent that going in, then when I emailed him to purchase a second contract he was like “You have add on itis.” It’s not add on itis if it was always your plan to buy that many points. Also random but 1 perk of paying your dues all at once is that if you do, you can use Disney Gift Cards which you can save a little money on if you buy them from Sam’s, BJ, or Costco.

If it was its own, we would only be superseded at 11-7 months with tower owners. Now all existing Poly owners will have that advantage. If it was its own, presumably some resale owners would have been blocked out. As a direct owner (not at Poly), those two things would have been better for me. I see why they did it, you just asked for the opposing view point.
@TheMagicInTheMusicАй бұрын
I appreciate hearing your perspective. It’s true that it will be harder for direct owners to compete for the tower at the 7 month window, since you have all the resale owners with you. Thanks for pointing that out.

My only regret is that DVC chose not to offer a 3 bedroom villa at the Island Tower. I was going to buy more points to stay at a grand villa, but I am reconsidering unless those new penthouse 2 bedroom villas are really fabulous.

As a resale Poly member, I’m happy to hear the new tower is joining the existing association. I’m wondering if going forward the resort will be overall harder to book (I’m looking at you GFV in early December - own there as well) and the increased traffic on the monorail. Time will tell! Love your content, always so informative and relevant. Thank you!

Yeah, I think the existing Poly owners are the real winners here. I agree that it may become harder to book, but I also felt that our Poly 11 month advantage wasn't really doing much for us. Now it may be a lot MORE of an advantage for us Poly owners. Thanks for watching!
