Thank you for sharing! I’ll remove that information!!

not sure if they still offer the $500 card and I just missed out -- perhaps other new buyers can confirm or deny if Disney is offering consistent package.

What is your Use Year?

If you purchase today (April 17), and you have an August Use Year, for example, your 2018 Use Year hasn't started yet so shouldn't 2017 points be automatic and not a special enticement?

And if you purchase today (April 17) and have a February Use Year, for example, and they give you 2017 points, did they bank the points into your 2018 Use Year even though you are past the banking deadline?

They banked to 2018 upon my request even though deadline passed. Function of being a newbie

reread -- You are probably right on your first point, not sure how they handle it normally I bought in before my UY began. So, essentially they just gave me the points I should have....not an enticement per se. They did allow me to bank to 2018 though my 4 month window had passed.

As mentioned the August UY is still in its 2017 UY so those are the points you should have been given and not an enticement. Any direct purchase is allowed to bank even if past the banking deadline. Periodically I've read of DVC allowing resale to bank if past the deadline and the seller had missed it. That's not in the rules like it is for direct but now and then the exception has been done.

Good that they allowed you to bank.

Absolutely right. Of course in my head thinking I didn’t start until UY began— which really doesn’t matter. Well I didn’t have to pay maintenance fee with the points! .

They actually wrote it into one of the condominium documents many years ago.

Well.......remember that maintenance fees are calculated on a calendar year, not use year.... But there was some benefit in not purchasing at the start of the calendar year.

And congrats on your purchase. Something to enjoy for many years!

I did not get a $500 gift card. I purchased 11 days ago.

I believe the $500 gift card promotion was only in effect in Nov and Dec 2017, and maybe Jan 2018. It wasn't any better of a deal really, because let's say if you bought 175 points in December with the gift card promotion, Disney would give you $2000 off the price of your contract, plus a $500 gift card, where currently they are giving $2500 off a 175 point contract, so really it is a wash. I've attached the most recent price sheet in case anyone wants to take a look.

Thank you. I’m excited to see CCV for sure. We are staying in the cabins and any tips for the room requests would be appreciated.

Do the Copper Creek Cabins have a grills?

Are there grills elsewhere on the property?

Gas or charcoal?

Is there room service available to the cabins?

Thanks

They do! I took this picture back in November. I assume gas.

In 2004, January, I was not allowed to bank BWV POINTS bought with a March UY. I wound up donating an OKW reservation to a volunteer of Give the Kids the World.

Yes, gas grills.

2 Questions: Is it possible to walk from the lodge to Trail's end? If so, about how far/long is the walk? Thanks!

 

[bobbiwoz]

The path is not lit at night.

Each Cascade Cabin does not have it's own grill. There are two large grill areas with 2 gas grills and picnic tables on each side of the resort, plus there are two single grill only areas near the middle of the cabins on each side.

Here are photos.
