The heart wants what the heart wants. We love staying in Aulani. But I hate the expensive dues, the degraded amenities, and that annoying room tax. Disney is gonna haveto sell it for $100pp to sell all their points. But yes, I will try my best to convince you otherwise.That works for me. You keep me in check from buying more Aulani points. When they run the next promotion… I’ll be counting on you.
Dues are not bad. Especially if subsidized. The dramatic increases are speculation. Beach and main draw is not degraded, everything else is just sprinkles. Room tax is a few extra dollars. If you are coming back, this is the way to curb inflation. I'm in for the win with AUL. lol. I am actually trying to convince myself why i don't have to sell my AUL contract as i buy a new home resort this year.
I agree. It’s all speculation and getting points definitely curbs rack rate inflation. Perhaps it’s my way of psyching myself from buying more points. My annual dues is already over $5k
. My Aulani concerns are legit IMO. At current prices, an exit strategy seems more difficult. And the room tax on a GV is NOT a few dollars.I agree. It’s all speculation and getting points definitely curbs rack rate inflation. Perhaps it’s my way of psyching myself from buying more points. My annual dues is already over $5k
I waffle.

I actually agree with you exactly half the time.
8 nights?! Teach me!….I just got back from an 8 night GV stay at Aulani...daily transient tax came out to around $70 per day. I wish my AD's were $5k annually btw
I like waffles...I actually agree with you exactly half the time.
It’s certainly good for business!

I don’t know. Those Mickey waffles at the Makahiki are steep…..For those taxes, we could buy a whole ohana + Paul some serious Mickey waffles
It might be interesting to see the data on how the time for ROFR fluctuates during different times of the year and speculate on why the times vary. *My two resales seemed to be at particularly extended times at 39 days and 28 days respectively.* I think only a month or two of comparisons wouldn't present a large enough picture. Quarters or seasons, maybe. During their times of closing for trainings compared to nothing going on. As someone else said, around the time of dues payment deadline compared to summer.
I’d be interested. Though, it seems like a lot of work to come to the conclusion that we all already suspect. There is no rhyme or reason…
Comparing last fall to now, BWV ROFR increased by $27. The only one that comes near that is BCV at a $16 increase. (eating waffles, justifying last year's BWV purchase)
Stop waffling!
