16+ years is a long time to enjoy some great resorts if it's where you want to be. I might not make it my only resort, but I'm not going to deprive myself of where I want to be on WDW trips for the next 16 years over what it's going to be like in 2042.

That's fine and all, but with dues you are paying over 16 dollars/point x years of enjoyment... at this rate is not too far from just renting it every year you want to go from randos on fb or something... anyhow, this is not the right thread for this discussion; I give too much emphasys on the economics of this thing; which is likely the absolutely wrong way to look at it....

$15.16pp not factoring in the extra 30 points up front.

Still cheaper and easier and less sketchy than renting from random people on Facebook.

So a BCV/BWV buyer would pay less and retain more control than renting. Sounds good to me.

But personally, I'm probably not expecting to make the most financially responsible decisions with far, far too many trips to WDW. Just want to make sure I'm enjoying them and hopefully not making the worst financial decisions along the way.

Convince me to think about 2042 resorts

The last time I looked, buying now, amortizing at between 3-5% TVOM, and holding to expiration was a better deal than renting. There is some risk in owning if one's vacation preferences change, and that risk is probably currently priced in to the spread.

I can't believe you are still buying
Convince me to think about 2042 resorts; I'm starting to feel like the economical value is not making sense anymore...

My family fell in love with the resort and wanted to make sure we could go back. We want to be walking distance from World Showcase.

At Boardwalk I’m going to need to walk the rooms we want and can’t count on someone else to do that for me.

At $105pp it’s basically break even with renting with a TVM in line with a t-bill. Could I just get point transfers at $18per year and make that work… maybe…. but maybe wasn’t good enough.

So, it was either buy more Boardwalk or sell all of WDW. My wife wants to go back to Grand Flo and the kids want to go back to Boardwalk…. So we will hold VGF and buy more Boardwalk….

Thank you for this reply, I do think that you have the correct math here. And obviously, the economics is not by any means the most import thing. Still... I'm impressed you are still buying; would love to take a peak at your dashboard for the heck of it lol.

That’s a high price for them to be taking it!!

I said the exact same thing. Especially seeing as how I paid $162pp just last year.

I wish I could call them up and ask them to just buy them from me at that price without the brokers commission!

We are selling all of the 2025 points to bring the cost down, and will probably book spring break 2026 with the points for that year. I was getting nowhere on countless offers on numerous resorts, and getting free 2024 points in our February UY seemed like the best option to lower the cost per point.

This purchase might look bad in 6 months to a year, but I'm thinking it will be fine down the road as 2042 draws closer. Only time will tell, but it was a gamble we were willing to take.

Congrats! Those 2024 points will sell easily so it makes it a good deal!

What did you give them up for? 1BD, I’m assuming.

Poly. I've been working on my poly reservation, but the boardwalk popped up this afternoon and I got excited and booked it knowing that I am already staying at poly and then I let it go
