So whilst there in October we went and asked questions regarding DVC, also asked how buying direct differed from resale as they could only offer AKV out of the older resorts.
We were told that a resale would prevent us from staying anywhere other than our home resort, however I thought you could book elsewhere at the 7 months window?
Also we were told Disney buys back all resales as they can make such a healthy profit, so its very unlikely we could buy a resale! Any one been successful with buying resales lately?
What are the differences in buying direct and resale? I read that its not worth using the points for cruises anyway? My understanding is that we couldn't use points on the resorts that are within the Dream destinations brochure we were given.Can you only use the points to rent at Disney Florida?
In the points chart book I was given I noticed, under Disney collection the port Orleans resort came up, does this mean you can rent rooms at resorts that are not Vacation clubs?
I understand to a degree that you can bank points for another year or borrow points, could someone explain this more fully, like time scales deadlines etc?
If I were to buy a resale in 2015 for example and there were no points available until April 2016, would we be able to borrow the points from 2016 for a stay in late 2015?
Do the points required to stay at each resort change from year to year, or are the numbers I see now in the points chart set in stone?
Could someone explain closing costs, how they are calculated? What other costs would I incur when purchasing a resale on top of the cost per point?
If we continued to vacation in October, should I avoid any contracts starting certain months?
I understand that house keeping is different in DVC property, how does this differ? can you still use Disney magical express from the airport, get free parking on disney property? what are the perks?
Being from the UK, we would go either once a year or every two years, so I am thinking that buying the 14 day park tickets here is still the cheapest option. If we decided not to go one year or had left over points how much could we rent them out for?
Sorry for all the questions, but I want to make sure I understand everything fully before making any decisions.
Thanking you all in advance!
