Thankfully I watched a lot of your videos before buying on resale, and I’ve never screwed up my membership, my purchase, or my bookings!! Your stuff is great!!

I just bought resale at SSR last month, quite a bit of my research was watching your videos, they were SUPER helpful. Thank you for all you do!

Great video, as always. I would also add that it is important to join forums and keep watching videos like yours to learn all of the tricks or you wont be able to maximize your vacations. You have to keep up with the constant changes and new information for the parks and resorts. I would also add that renting points is not as easy as some make it seem and with the taxes it is rarely more than a break even. Better to buy less points and rent a few yourself for occasional big trips rather than buy too many points and think you will rent them each year untill you need them.

Great video! For someone who's been in DVC for a while you just shake your head in agreement and giggle at the ones you wish you would have known at the beginning. So listen up potential DVC family and let her (earned) wisdom save you some grief. Of the ones you mentioned, I wish we would have broken our original direct contract into smaller ones for easier resale. We won't make the same mistake when we buy at Villas @ Disneyland Hotel. Love the new t-shirt designs - you're so clever and they are so attractive. XOXO

My biggest mistake was booking trips that use all my points but I had a solution buy more points but then I booked all of those points….

Great video! I couldn't agree more with you on buying several small contracts instead of one big one. Small contracts are easier to sell and you get more per point than you do with the large contracts. It's also good to know that you can sell some points and keep some points if you decide you don't need as many as you have, and you don't have to worry about how to handle leaving 1 large contract to multiple people. I'm up to 5 contracts now LOL. Addonitis is REAL. My biggest contract is for 120 points. The others are 100, 50, 50 and 25. Made sure to get them all in the same use year. I also wanted to have the benefits of direct buy, so I have a total of 150 points bought direct. All other points were bought on the resale market for much less per point.

Great advice! I would also add to set an alert on your calendar for you banking deadline so you don’t miss it.

Yes! We are planning our next trip for 2024, but just bit the bullet and purchased a DVC contract!

Looking at resale. If I want to travel to Grand Floridian first week of December every year, what is my best use year to maximize my chance of booking that week?

Very good advice (direct BLT since 2009).

Thank you for all your information. It definitely helps as I'm a new potential DVC member and trying to figure this all out.
My question... if I'm reading materials correctly, if I buy resale, it looks like I don't get the extras that you get if you purchase at least 150 points direct?
Is this correct?

Great video! With vacation planning, we bought a contract to Aulani and then booked our trip. The cash cost was about 2/3 of the contract! It was an easy decision.

I bought direct in 2017 and wanted Beach club but there was no availability. I declined any other resort and within a week Disney found a Beach Club contract for me. I didn’t even know about resale market at that time.

I made the DVC post big expensive visit mistake 🤦🏼‍♀️ I assumed DVC was too expensive and only began researching when we got home — could have paid for almost half of our DVC contract with the lodging we had just paid for our big trip!

That's ridiculous!! No one can avoid Disney vacation just because they did mistakes to people or something.

When it comes to reselling a direct buy contract, does Disney have the first right of refusal to buy back the contract before it is sold to another person(s)?

I really like Boulder Ridge but am nervous about the ending year of 2042. Copper creek is a bit different and more costly. I know you said it isnt for investment purposes but it still is and it leaves me wondering if I will kick myself for buying into a 2042 contract.

I'm still not exactly sure what I did wrong, but I think I made a mistake of banking points too early. I didn't want to forget my banking date, so I went ahead and did it. When I booked trips for the next UY, they used points for the next UY. I wasn't able to reallocate the banked points. Again, not sure, but whatever I did, I ended up with points that can't be applied to the next available trip. I used the points to gift a CM friend a night at AKV, so I'm not at all upset. Just would like to know exactly what I did wrong.
