ROFR Thread Jan to March 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

I honestly don't know. Up until two weeks ago, I would have said "SSR resale," and it would have been easy. But this latest price increase and the inflation of the ROFR floor makes me nervous.

If I were brand new, I'd probably be looking for one of the following (not necessarily in order):

1. SSR, OKWe, or AKV resale with an amazing price and an international seller
2. Aulani subsidized
3. Some kind of crazy direct incentives that get price per point down to like ~$170.

Brand new.. we’re in ROFR purgatory right now, but I have an embarrassing question… where do I go to look at DVC direct? I’ve done the obvious and gone through the Disney website, however I only see aulani and riviera. What am I missing about VGF2? Please be kind I understand you’re doing God’s work answering this question

VGF2 is currently only on sale to existing members. You need to wait until Thursday.

Disney also runs short-term promotions on "sold out" resorts from time to time.

That's exactly where my head would be if I were happier with the current resorts on sale. I don't care for VGF or Riviera and I don't want to carry 300 points of Aulani.

If Disney were selling CCV2 or AKV2 or SSR2 or OKWe at VGF incentive pricing, I'd be all over a 300 point direct contract.

You and me both! Would love to see a OKWe or CCV promo.

No such thing as an embarrassing question! Ask away…that’s what these boards are here for!

Disney is converting a part of VGF into DVC and are issuing/selling new points. These new points/building is being called VGF2. If you call your Guide, or the DVC sales line you can easily get in touch with someone to discuss it.

We have SSR and AKL as home resorts. We stay at BWV (in a studio) every year in Oct for Food & Wine. I always log in right at 7 months at 8am and usually they are not available. BUT....some people book out further and then drop off the earlier dates of their trip. So, it never has failed....for about 2-4 days after, I just keep checking the site. I just did this last week. And sure enough it opened up and we are booked for a weekend at BWV in a studio Boardwalk View for October.

my sister and i were JUST talking about this this morning. i'm glad ato know it's been successful!!!

THANK YOU!

Ah! So good to know!!! Thank you. That definitely gives me some hope. I cannot wait to just be a member so I can log in and play around with availability and options. I think having a better understanding of how availability shifts might help guide us one direction or the other. I actually do like SS and OKW and feel like we will likely stay there some but also know we don't have to book at 11 months.

same here!! we are waiting for our sellers to return documents but i'm super anxious about getting access to the dashboard!

I feel like I’m missing something when it comes to multiple contracts… is this a disposable income with where we are just paying $20k a year in dues across numerous contracts? Or renting some points out to cover annual dues? My brain can’t make the math make sense.

I own 6 contracts over 3 resorts now and it’s for my use. I own RIV and VGF because those are my go to resorts, but all SSR to use to upgrade stays or as SAP for others to use.

I don't know about anyone else, but if I have to eat ramen the rest of the year to go to Disney more I'm in!

We absolutely don’t mind and we do eat ramen on vacation. Especially my kids, they could eat ramen everyday, the good kind. I’m an excellent cook and they are little foodies. We rather cook in the villa than eating chicken fingers and hot dogs for $12.

I love the good kind! Funnily enough my young kids don't and only like the "cheap" twenty five cent a pack kind of ramen. Eating at the villa is a part of why we bought DVC, we always liked to cook on vacation rather than eat fast food for the entire time.

We don’t talk about ramennnn! We should be talking about ROFR not eat ramen to buy another contract. We even pack the good ramen sometimes when we bring our suitcase. But I’m too cheap to pay for a suitcase.

I’m far from rich but I make my money stretch further. I work where I see a ton of rich people dress like not rich people. Hahaha
