Ok my DVC peeps.. seeking your expert help again. I found a contract I like and am getting ready to make an offer. They are asking me about reimbursing the 2026 dues. Would it be looked down on if I asked to pro-rate for 60 days? Considering that's..

.. at least how long it would take to close?? Also, they are asking if I have a preferred title company. I'm clueless.. any suggestions?

9:47am by skemp

Is it a loaded contract? What points are there?

9:50am by PrincipalTinker

Are you not using a broker?

9:50am by melcort10

Whoever is getting the 2026 points should pay the dues. Doesn't really matter which date you close.

9:51am by melcort10

2026 will be paid by the buyer. Looks like you're buying direct from the seller, so no broker like DVC Resale Market or DVC Shop? I'm sure fellow Liners have some experience and suggestions. Also, you could always offer a couple of dollars less...

...to make up some of the 2026 dues. Research the average cost per point for resale on the home resort you're looking at. The more points on the contract, usually less cost per point. Good Luck

10:06am by allanmayo

#026 would be paid for buyer IF there are full 2026 points. Lots of resale contracts are missing points.

10:07am by PrincipalTinker

When I bought my 150 pt SSR contract in 2023, seller wanted $102 per point. I offered $98 per point and it was accepted. Certain helped with closing costs. Don't low ball too much. A broker could help with that.

10:13am by allanmayo

Yes I'm going through a broker.. fidelity has the listing.

10:31am by skemp

The contract does have full points for 2026

10:31am by skemp

I think you should pay 2026 dues since you're getting the 2026 points. Dues are prorated when buying direct but you aren't buying direct.

10:57am by popupcamper

I think if you were buying direct today, you would get 2025 points and prorate those dues but 2026 would be full dues?

11:27am by PrincipalTinker

I agree with @mel: if you are getting the 2026 points then you pay the dues. Doesn't have to do with calendar year of 2026. Has to do with who will get to use the 2026 points. As for title closer I let my broker choose.

12:33pm by evamarie320

Thanks all! I agreed to pay the full dues.. but the owner accepted another offer :( Here's to hoping another good deal pops up!

1:14pm by skemp

New contracts are always popping up. Just wait patiently to what contract feels right for you and your family. Happy hunting!

2:05pm by allanmayo

Well that depends on use year right @PT? I'm fairly new to DVC and I've only bought direct so maybe I'm misunderstanding.

But my size when I bought were prorated and I then paid future dues.

2:31pm by popupcamper

Dues not size.

2:31pm by popupcamper

@popup, February is the 1st UY of 2026. If you buy direct before your UY, you get the full current year. So if you buy in January, all UYs would get full 2025 points (prorate dues) and 26 (full dues now) when available. I think?

I personally think (with zero data to support this theory) the faster the WiFi and newer the phone or laptop, the better your chances.

3:05pm by Jennyhirsch

Agree w/Jenny. In my limited experience, (did SS what'll be 3 yrs ago), I believe the 5k sold out 1st, considerably earlier than the other options. I did the 10k, which didnt sell out immediately, but did eventually. Would imagine 10m is similar

Opinions and experiences needed! I have a very picky DN14 who I am taking for first trip. Oddly, she likes fish. Would Coral Reef be a yes for a teen who enjoys fish and would enjoy the aquarium? I've heard so many bad things about it...but should we?

3:42pm by maurine08

I think she would enjoy it. The atmosphere would be something she would like

3:52pm by goofygrandpa

Yes, sounds like a good match.

My DD14 is very picky but loves salmon and fried fish. There are so many places she likes to eat at WDW that surprise me bc she is such a picky eater!

Dreams of Disney NYE just me and DH. Pros and cons of Epcot vs MK?

Epcot has alcohol and not a lot of kids. MK has no alcohol and lots of kids especially small children. I loved Epcot it was amazing. Each county throws a party. Then the fireworks are amazing each county takes a turn. As adults No children id do Epcot.

Our moods and stamina is night and day with this cooler weather in comparison to the hotter times we are normally here. Such an improvement in the experience that the crowds honestly aren't much of a factor.
