What questions do you have about booking windows or resale restrictions? Do you think that this has become TOO confusing?

We are new to DVC ownership (Riviera 200 pts) and really enjoy your channel 😊

Perfect timing on this video for me, my 11 month window in my “Group 3” SSR Resale contract was today! Thanks for the tips!

Thanks Jenn . Nice seeing that big smile explaining things so well. You are to blame for my initial purchase earlier this year😉. Great work and keep it coming.

GREAT video! When I describe DVC to someone new I start with the easy description but this covers all of the "but..." scenarios and lays them out very clearly. Appreciate your careful, upbeat and positive presentation as always. Your last question always makes me giggle when someone comes up with that brilliant solution to work the system. Riiiight :-). Buy at some resort you'd be happy to stay if you can't change at 7 months. Hope you're enjoying your summer vacation! XOXO - Nich and Steve.

So my first offer on a resale contract was January 2019 and it was taken. I missed the cutoff by days. Definitely regret not buying resale sooner.

Been trying to find out if DVC points for a legacy resort (direct) can be used at an international Disney resort (like Disney Paris)
I remember seeing a points amount for Paris, but cannot seem to find anyone talking about this.
Can you clarify this for those of us looking to possibly make plans like that.

Quick question, if I purchase today a re sale DVC from Animal Kingdom Lodge can I stay at the legacy resorts?

[BushySmalls]

If a contract has a December use year, and has 23|24|25 points showing as 75|150|150, when would those 2023 points need to be used by? When can the 2025 points start being used? The use year, bank/borrow thing still confuses me

Hey guys I have a question regarding resale and direct purchases, if you have both and book on a resale contract can you still use your direct benefits?

I bought 50 points at the villas at Disneyland. After this video... I cancelled my purchase. I am afraid it will not hold its value like DCA.
