WhenIsOurNextTrip---$105-$16390-150-BWV-Sep-0/18, 0/19, 25/20, 150/21-Seller pays MF 20- sent 2/6

Probably need some prayers for ROFR to get waived, but taking a shot at it since I don't need 2020 points.

Decided to buy at Boardwalk after visiting Riviera a few weeks ago. Riviera is a beautiful hotel, but it lacked Disney flair.
-The quick service at Riviera was overwhelmed for lunch.
-Boardwalk location can't be duplicated for getting to Epcot
-Access to Hollywood Studios is reliant on Skyliner reliability for both resorts, but from Boardwalk we can also walk or take the boat.
-My per point cost for Boardwalk(assuming I hold until ZERO value) is $12.13 per point , versus Riviera @ $12.11 per point, along with the lower point price per night for all rooms, makes buying Boardwalk a no-brainer for my family over Riviera.

Wow, $105 for Boardwalk is a great deal (if you get through ROFR). Looking at prices over last 12 months I thought anything below $120 for BWV was risky. Appreciate your 2020 comment though. We chose Boardwalk for the same reasons as you, but we needed the 2020 points to bank for our planned trip in 2021. Good luck.

I saw the listing and bought less than 24 hours after it was up. Got lucky. Always feel weird buying at ask, but I thought it was a good deal and def wanted the April UY and points.

I agree. But with such a good buy it was probably the safest to buy at ask rather than risk losing the deal over a minimal discount.

Typically, 30 days but technically they To be given at least 30 days

IIRC, at least for a while, Disney was taking longer than normal and the brokers were asked to stop calling in to check on status of ROFR. Not sure if that has changed and Disney is deciding on ROFR faster.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Just to add, though, Disney doesn’t sell contracts void of current UY points..so with Disney, you still pay only from the date you buy until the end of the year....except for a new resort, then you pay from resort opening, but can’t use points for stays until that date either.

Actually they can/do - when it's a new resort. I've been one to get that with VGC - April UY. They also recently did it with Riviera Feb UY, correct? So my example is a rare one but it was the easiest to show how DVC considers the application of MF's and it actually has happened with them.

I could be wrong, but I don't think they sold people Feb UY at RIV because it didn't come with 2019. I read somewhere that someone who had a Feb UY already could not buy RIV with that UY because it didn't come with the points so they had to buy with a different one.

 

[Lorana]

True that MF's are billed on the calendar year but they cover different points for different UY's. You just have to look at how DVC bills the MF's when you purchase direct and it's clearest on a new resort. If Dec 2020 points were the first points you received then even if you purchased in January of 2020 you would have a pro-rated bill for 1 month. Then you'd pay the 2021 MF's that would technically cover 11 months of the Dec 2020 points and 1 month of Dec 2021. Resellers will tell you that if you get the points then you should pay the MF's however - it's just what they have always done.

Right. The point they were making is that if you buy a Dec UY resale with no 2019 points, asking the seller to cover 2020 MF - or at least 11 months worth - is a reasonable request because you didn’t get the (2019) points that go from Dec 2019 to Nov 2020.

I did not hear that and I do believe they sold it. Just most people don't want to buy it. For as long as I have known the purchase contracts always outline this possibility even though it's pretty rare. As I mentioned they did that for VGC too - Feb, Mar and April all were sold but did not get points until after VGC had been openn for a few months.

I did a quick search and from several posts DVC did sell Feb UY's and started with 2020 points.

Our first DVC! We live in CA for Aulani made sense for us, we can't wait! All of the information on this site and forum have been so helpful.

We added a contract at Riviera. We matched our other contracts with an October UY and we got 2019 points, which we have already used for a Riviera stay! I do remember our guide telling us something that was different for the February UY regarding Riviera but I can't recall the details because it didn't apply to us. I do distinctly remember there being something unique about the February UY for Riviera in the early months of sales.

I agree. Totally risky at $105. Since I wasn’t concerned with 2020 pts I could chance ROFR taking it and just come back in a few weeks and try again with another contract.
According to the disboards ROFR history it seemed like Disney hasn’t taken a boardwalk in months and a popular resale site blog had none taken in January and one taken in December for $101 along with a dropping price per point over the last 6 months. So I won’t hold my breath for this one, but still a chance I could get it.

so happy for you! I confess sometimes I am jealous of not being so close to Aulani (I’m on the East Coast).

I think one just got taken a page or two back on this thread at $110 a point.
Good luck...you never know!

Since it is stripped of current year points and most of next years points, I think this makes it through no problem. Disney can’t just turn around a resell those points direct.

This has been the prevailing wisdom regarding stripped contracts. However lately Disney has taken back a number of stripped contracts. Sometimes it is not always about wanting the contract but keeping the market from getting too low. They can let resale get too low if they want their direct sales to not slip.

 

[Jelly563]

I don't understand where people get these contracts to agree to ridiculously low amounts... I offered like $5 below asking (on several contracts) and all of them refused or were only willing to dip like $2
