We LOVE the Grand Californian. It is our favorite of all the Disney properties. We can drive a few hours and we're at Disneyland. I don't want to hop a plane and fly to Florida...Maybe once every 5 years MAX.
We spoke to a sales rep at a DVC Kiosk last week during our trip to Disneyland. We didn't go for the full presentation. I realize by purchasing direct it entitles us to the extra benefits. But why would I purchase direct to have points at a property I will rarely visit?
I'd like to purchase 250 points resale at the Grand Californian. That gives me at least a week in a 1 bedroom during the Adventure Season. Here are my questions:
1. What is the smallest contract I can buy direct from Disney for Aulani or Copper Creek and would that give me access to extra member benefits?
2. How can I make the direct points work with my resale points? (eg. can I combine them to bump up to a 2 bedroom at the Grand Californian?)
3. I'd like these points to be passed on to my kids when I pass on. What happens at the end of the lease term?
4. If I find resale at Grand Californian with a February Anniversary date, should I buy my contract at Aulani or Copper Creek for the same month?
Thanks!
