Re: Purchasing a membership at a resort not currently selling?

Tara, Jess contacted me and told me about this thread. Vanna and I bought VWL via resale and we are very happy with out purchase. Keep in mind with buying direct through Disney you have to buy a set number of points (200 for BLT/AKV and 160 for the other DVC resorts). Plus in your case since you like BCV, the chances of being able to readily get points through Disney is minimal.

The worst thing to have contend with resale is Disney's Right of First Refusal. You have to balance the point contract and the price. If the price is too low, Disney has first option to buy that contract back.

We bought through TSS but there are other reputable resellers. If you should be interested in researching the resale route, please PM me and I will be happy to answer any questions that I can.
