Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
I definitely think that DVD is riding the economic growth to these higher prices, wonder if during the next down turn that they will be forced to actually reduce prices though.
Points for effort, I'll give you that!Hey, I like to look on the bright side of an economic recession.......

Nice! What resort? I’m anxiously awaiting a call but nothing yet. How long were you on the waitlist for 50 points?Alright! My guide Randy came through, got me the Dec UY that I wanted. I was ready to settle for Feb UY and researching the contingencies but I'm happy as a clam! Wasn't really planning to buy direct or 50 points direct but in the end I'm happy that I'll be an owner soon!
AKL, I've been on WL since Tuesday afternoon. I think they are busy trying to get everyone under the wire, churning through the list. One of the unpredictable parts is some people will be on WL and then not go through with it, then ends up the next one down.Nice! What resort? I’m anxiously awaiting a call but nothing yet.

Haha my husband said the same thing! Only Disney can enforce a policy change and we are like please call me and take my money (as I wait by the phone myself). You win again, DisneyI am happy that people are getting what they want but it amazes me the Disney creates a situation where we are excited and feel special that we are allowed to spend money with them. They are geniuses when it comes to marketing.

I am also a resale buyer on several wait lists for an additional 25 points. Is it possible to "return" points after you have bought them? I'm thinking of the scenario where my 2nd or 3rd choice resort has 25 points come available in the next few days and I buy them, but then the next day points become available at my top choice. Would I be able to void the first purchase and get the one I really want? Is there a return period? Thanks!

My guess is that once you buy, your other waitlists will be canceled.

Thanks, Ben! So what needs to be done by the 2/25 cutoff?
I need to have a physical contract signed by that point? They need to have charged my credit card and the payment has been made? Or they need to get the signed contract back and record it somehow?
My guide says the agreements need to be in the system, after the deadline passes, rewrites can’t be made. Supposedly this came from the VP of the division, that the computer program doesn’t allow exceptions.I don't know myself. I would guess just make the first deposit, which you would do via the phone, by then. I do not know this with any certainty, though. Call the guide and ask about this as well.

Wow, I definitely didn't expect this, but my 25pt Poly WL came through (I was added on Sunday afternoon). But I love CCV so I'm not sure if I want to switch the CCV 50pts for the Poly 25pts now My Poly contract is still in ROFR (it's been there for a week... I hope they didn't take it to fulfill my WL haha).
