You have done such a great job at laying all of this information out visually. thank you! Now if only I could rub a magic lamp and 35k would magically appear in my checking account…..
Karen, this is great information and reinforces our decision to purchase on the resale market. We became members in 2015 and although we own a relatively small contract, we are entitled to the benefits as they began to strip them away shortly after. The numbers you provide will be very helpful to new purchasers. Can certainly tell you’re an accountant 😉
13:45 there's actually a very good reason to buy at the beach club resort. If that is the resort that you want to stay at, especially during any of the peak seasons like holidays or spring breaks or even over the summer, it can be extremely difficult to get a room especially a studio unless you own at beach club. If you had to resort to paying for a direct reservation in cash it would cost 3X as much and the truth is that the DVC side is nicer than the retail side
Such great information again on DVC! I'm looking forward to your rental video. Buying in doesn't make sense for me but renting has always been interesting but also intimidating so haven't tried it yet! We can stay at Shades of Green so that has always been our "home" resort based on availability.
Thanks for this. Your breakdown in the last 2 videos have been extremely helpful and I finally understand how DVC works. I had been contemplating buying at the Disneyland hotel but the Aussie dollar is terrible against the USD at the moment so the costs for us would be way too high for my liking. Maybe one day though 😊😊😊
You keep talkin about a 51-year commitment but the reality is that most people can usually sell after 5 to 10 years at a profit. I remember when my brother bought at Grand Floridian 10 years ago adiron 110 dollars per point and I thought he was crazy because I had just bought a Vero Beach resale at just 45PP. Yet today both those contracts are worth at least 50% more.... So we can get out of them if we want.
Love your videos, thank you Karen!! I’m trying to convince my husband to buy Boardwalk 😅. Your spreadsheet is so awesome! We’ve rented points in the past and I’m excited to see your upcoming video comparing renting vs buying. ❤❤
That's where I'm lucky, my sister Rachel normally doesn't need much convincing on these things haha YES hopefully that will be helpful, I'm aiming to get it up in the next couple of weeks!
Thank you for doing the math for us and for the best breakdown I've seen. I'm in the market right now for DVC and after watching your video, I see more cons than pros. Would you mind doing another video on why you have purchased DVC, what you have and how you are using the points these days?
Can you tell me a little about the resale contract as the savings seem huge in comparison and the direct benefits don’t seem to add up the savings you can make buying resale thank you
This video compares resale and direct and talks about the benefits of direct. There are additional benefits but it's definitely a personal choice in terms of whether you think they are worth it for the price difference. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lw5BlQT5TIk.html
