Really informative video Karen. Thanks for explaining it so well. Copper Creek is our home resort. If ever we were to purchase more I'd imagine it would be Beach or Baylake. We never knew about resale until more recently. We went to WDW and came back as DVC members totally unplanned in 2018. Best thing we ever did. So happy that it rained that morning in AK and we took shelter by the DVC stand by Creature Comforts with our lattes. The lovely DVC guy totally changed our lives and we are so grateful xx

I agree with you about the direct benefits, I think Disney are going to try and push out the resale market as much as possible - but I could be wrong and I hope I am because resale allows so many people the opportunity to afford it. I never knew that about the tax number! How interesting. We were heavily considering buying resale, but like you we liked all the perks of direct and it was just so much easier. We also liked that we got 50 years buying Riviera and they had so many deals on it we got the points at a good rate.

Ye definitely! I think we will definitely see more persuasion for direct buyers in the future and I think as long as there is still supply on the resale market it also keeps that option open. Ye I wasn't aware of it either! Ye there is a really long contract with Riviera and good that got a great deal on it too!

Your videos are very helpful. My husband and I are considering purchasing resale over direct and your excel charts have made our decision easier. Once we have the money in the bank we will purchase a resale contract at either Bay Lake Tower, Animal Kingdom or Saratoga Springs. Once the new California location is for sale we will purchase that one direct even with the new restriction.

Aw thank you I'm so glad they are helpful! Oh some great choices there! I think the restrictions are more relevant for resale so purchases the new property direct definitely sounds like the way to go!

I love your speadsheet comparisons. I've never stayed at OKW, but I've seen a few videos that say AKL, OKW, and SSR are some of the best "value" resorts. I've got daughters and grandkids, so I'd like something roomy, which makes OKW attractive. My question is, should I be only looking for 2057 contracts on OKW? Also, OKW has higher dues than many resorts. It has been suggested that Copper Creek is a better value because of the longer contract and the lower dues. Your thoughts?

Loving your mini series on DVC, we understand it so much better now so thank you 👏 Was just wondering if you had any plans on doing a vlog on a screenshare of the DVC member log in portal please? Really interested to see how the points from direct & resale show as after watching your vlogs, we are considering the minimum direct for the benefits & topping up with resale for the remainder we need but just curious how it works within the portal, ie if you buy different use years, are the points combined, etc? xx

Thank you for this. My husband and I are looking at resales Animal Kingdom and Saratoga (our two favourites - Saratoga due to proximity to Disney Springs and Animal Kingdom - who doesn't love the animals?). I was very interested in hearing that your needed a tax number. We're from Canada so I'm assuming it will be the same for us? Will have to look into that. The spreadsheet is super helpful too. I believe we are convinced resale is the way to go for us.

Hey Debbie! I would assume so although I don't really know for sure and also worth noting I only needed one because my seller was also international, had they been domestic I wouldn't have needed one. That's so exciting that you're looking to get resale we too like a mix of those locations although our preference is OKW as that's where we've got lots of memories! So happy the spreadsheet was helpful! Sorry for the delay in responding to you and best of luck in your resale search, let me know how you get on!

@@KarenBee Hi Karen. Thought I would let you know that after three attempts with Saratoga contracts (only to have Disney take all three), we gave Animal Kingdom a try. On the first attempt - we passed! 180 points @ $100/pt. I thought for sure that Disney would exercise ROFR especially give our experience with Saratoga and that it was such a low price per point. Incidentally they took our Saratoga contracts priced at $97/pt, $102/pt and $98/pt. Seems to be no reason but we are so glad to be able to plan future trips at Animal Kingdom!

Hey Karen, what is the difference between the annual pass and the DVD annual pass, is it significant enough to buy direct to get the deal ? I won’t be able to take advantage of the moonlight parties and don’t care about the Epcot lounge, so only benefit going direct would be savings on annual pass and any extra discounts I don’t currently get on annual pass. Thanx for the help and video really insightful.
