Very interesting accomodations. The studio left us cold as at 6'4" it is not comfortable for 2 to be left in a queen sized bed especially 'on vacation'. What models did they use - those under 6 ft.? Not sure that this club is the way to go - many questions .....also, future AK looks more inviting - would this be easier to re-sell at 10-12 yrs. down the road? No children in our life, but many friends we would like to travel w/ (how do you handle pts. in the real world of $$$?), and time will not be an obstacle as retirement is looming. Off Disney locations are high on our list as many inns/hotels (ski/ocean, etc.) now have become extremely pricey. Not excited about the cruises - rather go w/ AMX Maritime club. Is this DVC for us? Not sure.... Anyone willing to respond? We just came back from 2 wks. in FL - visiting Disney’s Magic & Epcot w/ time for a tour of DVC SS w/ Rob Shapiro. Very interesting accomodations.

It must be that there is an upward market for the particular point contract that you wanted. There are alot of private owners marketing these on the internet though, you should be able to find something matching what you are looking for.

I am still puzzled about this right that they have and why they would want to use it when they can have potential new costumers. As Disney cannot sell outside the US (and I think UK and Canada) potential new DVC owner can only buy via other channels. Once a DVC contract found, like I did, it has to go through Disney for their RoFR. I didn’t expect them to use it on my contract, but they did… So now I’ll have to start the process over again and hope that the next time they will let me become a DVC member… [...] [...] When buying DVC via a timeshare store Disney has a right to refuse the sale and buy the points back themselves.

Didn’t think it would be so fast after I placed my request about 2-3 weeks ago.
