Congratulations Panda and welcome home!
This show and the content you supply helped me make the leap to get my DVC membership last May. Best decision ever. Love learning more about DVC. Keep up the great content.
Same for me - rented points the last two years, and took the leap this summer. Can't wait for our first official trip "home" next year!
Jodi, Amy and Janon have been wonderful walking my husband and I through the process. This show is great to help plan out our next steps.
Hi Michelle, thanks so much for the kind words, it is much appreciated!
We live in MA and added on direct to Riviera over the phone. Seamless and easy-peasy, points loaded, I believe, within a couple hours in our profile online.
We bought direct and resale from DVCResaleMarket and both were easy processes! Resale requires some waiting (ROFR, closing, points loading), but the value was worth it. Great overview of buying DVC.
OMG Gib crew unite. He is AMAZING!! New direct buyer here, he was so helpful and amazing and honestly as someone in sales, a very good salesperson.
I was worried that the videos were slowing down. Glad to see all of you making another video.
Slow down was caused by a long Alaska trip and some California vacations but back :) Thank You!
If you live in Delaware and you're buying direct and financing through Disney you have to sign in person down in FL at the DVC office. My husband and I just did this back in Sept 2020.
I'm in NC and I was able to do the online notary. Made the process so much easier.
My wife and I bought DVC at Wilderness Lodge in March of 2001. W.L. was just being marketed and had not been approved yet in our home state of New York. I flew down on a cheap flight for one day. DVC set up ahead of time for the DVC van to pick me up at MCO and return later in the evening. Flying was quick and easy pre 9/11. I was brought to W.L. and all the paperwork was done in the DVC sample show room. I then spent a couple hours relishing that we were owners and enjoying the Wilderness Lodge property with dinner at Whispering Canyon. Afterward my ride back to MCO awaited. The process was such an enjoyable event and DVC genuinely treated me like gold. Twenty plus years later and I have never regretted being a DVC member for a moment; so many vacations that never would have happened otherwise.💙
Our welcome home trip is coming up in a week. We bought direct (VGF) in May and a condition of our buying at that particular time was being able to book this trip on only 4 months notice. They went off an did some looking and put a room at BWV on-hold for us before we then finished up the purchase process!
Pete mentioned getting "the blue card". I am still annoyed there is no "blue card" any longer!
Show is great and helpful ... look forward to it weekly ... Still enjoy the DVC vacation aspect even though almost every change costs the consumer more and almost never is better for the DVC membership. From Blue Card to ME, Magic bands to the British Revolution band ... take away is what DVC management does best. Keep up the good work and advocacy for members.
I recently bought resale and it took roughly 5 weeks for the points to show up in my account once the final documents were signed. The whole process was roughly 2.5 to 3 months.
Ours was 57 days from offer to points. After we got the welcome email, we used chat 3 days later and mentioned we needed to book a vacation. Went extremely smooth.
Buying resale takes months vs buying directs days. I’m in the process currently. It’s been over 3 weeks since I passed ROFR and I’m still waiting for a contract to sign. Once that happens it will be at least a month before the points are in my account. Total time from offer to points will be 3 months.
Thanks for making these shows, I look forward to them every week. Could you please add into a show the process of vacation swap? Paul touched on it briefly in a recent show and I’m seriously considering using it to visit Universal next year.
This show is always enjoyable and informative, however it has led to my add-on itis but I have saved$$ buying resale! So we have 4 contracts 2 direct and 2 resale. Thanks to you all, thanks
Im about to be in the financial position soon to buy DVC. Ive been watching your episodes like Gospel. Thanks for the education.
Thanks for watching!
Same here!! I’m so nervous though!! Lol good luck on your future dvc!
We are from Jersey and everything was on-line. It took one day for all the docu-sign paperwork. We sent the money from an account electronically. Then we just waited for ROFR.
Gib is awesome! Made my purchasing process smooth sailing. ❤️
We took a tour in June during our trip. They picked us up at Disney springs and drove us to the sales center. We looked at the models of copper creek and riviera. Then they drove us to grand Floridian to tour there. They also sent us a few things at home prior to our trip and to our room at Polynesian during our trip. We actually decided to wait until Disneyland tower and the new Polynesian build start selling, but the tour process was pretty extensive.
Just had a similar experience - Went on a trip before my "closing" did it 100% online - never visiting them
What was the details of the December incentive for Aluani? Love this show, long time listener, first time commenter, keep up the great work!
Curious also!
During a 9 day WDW last week, counted DVC staff on 1 hand. Frontierland, and HS heading to Toy Story we’re the only consistent ones. Never saw anyone at AK or Epcot.
Also tried to visit the Riviera rep that we were told would be staffed until 8. Got there at 6:45pm and no one was there.
I’m more interested in DLH when it starts selling, but our CBR stay really sold us on the Skyliner.
love you guys
Oh thats why I had to get a Notary for Aulani resale
We live in Arizona and did ours over the phone but then had to sign certain firms on paper and mail them back due to time share laws in AZ. It was difficult as our rep ended up having to send us two sets due to not understanding all the paperwork. But we go it done eventually!!
if you buy grand floridian how hard is it to get a 1 bedroom at 7 months at riviera?
Thanks so much for your content! My husband and I moved to the Tampa area a few years ago and we are annual passholders. We have stayed on Disney property about 8 times in the last year for 1 to 2 night stays at every level of resort. We definitely enjoyed our stays at Polynesian, Riveria and Boardwalk and I think DVC would be a great purchase for us. However, we tend to book our trips no more than 3 months out and occasionally we'll book a Saturday night stay a few days to a week out. We've heard if we puchased DVC we wouldn't be able to use our points to book stays like that at those resorts and we'd end up confined to OKW and Saratoga Springs. I'd be interested to hear how you guys fare as locals and what your planning process entails as locals. Do you have to plan at 7 and 11 months? Are you able to book spontaneous weekend nights at resorts other than OKW and Saratoga Springs?
We are local too and book spontaneous all the time. The key is patience and checking the site regularly. For example, we wanted a weekend for Paul’s bday a month out. When we first looked, there was nothing. Then we pieced together two different resorts, then got both nights at OKW, then was able to move to Beach Club the week before. If you keep looking, stuff almost always pops up.
@@YamKriegsthanks so much for the reply. That's great to hear! 👏
When you have multiple contracts, how does MF work?
Do you pay each separate, or is some things, like a club due, combined?
I didn’t get any welcome gifts booked the grand villa at Riviera for 5 days ☹️
I’d love to know how this works if you’re in another country. How does to notary part work if we’re in Canada?
Me wondering how I'll pay my health insurance for the year: let me see if I can buy DVC.
Does it make any difference what day of the month it is if you buy direct?
I signed my contract, could somebody explain to me what DVD is because it was all over my contract is it just a typo? Because I didn’t say DVC well they did and then I from page 16 down he just got more and more DVD in it.
CA we did it all virtual.
Can International buyers buy direct virtually?
Some can. You should ask if your country is elegible
Hmm I didn’t do anything with a notary, no zoom call or anything
In Virginia us residents don’t get the reward for the referral of a direct DVC. We do not qualify for it.
Yeah, some states have laws that prevent that. Bummer
What is the process for international buyers (Britain), for the notary side of it?
I am interested in this too, we plan a DVC investigative trip in November, visit some of the resorts and we’ve rented points for a night to ‘try before we buy’ but I don’t know at what point to schedule the preview center etc in our ten days - we would hate to make the decision and run out of time to complete the process.
If you buy direct, I’m not sure. But if you buy resale and do not finance, there is no notary needed. Feel free to reach out to me with any other questions.
Funny how they can pull from cash inventory when it suits them. Shameful really.
Hope Panda didn't finance it.
