Just bought and trying to resell/ get out

Case in point. I recently bought 392,000 points at Dolphins Cove in Anaheim, CA for a total of $101.

Yes, they decided that emulating Westgate was the way to go. It’s a bold strategy, let’s see how it works out for them.

If it does work, it's because the cult of Disney is very strong and members are chronic apologists. The mouse can so no wrong...

Westgate doesn't have such sway on it's owners

Yes, but mostly that has impacted the newer properties' resale value, because those are locked to their home resort, while the older properties still all have access to each other.

So if I buy a resale older DVC contract, I still have access to all the older properties, but if it's a newer property, and I buy resale DVC I only have access to that one? Do I understand that correctly? Thanks!

We do have a loan, but can pay it off, would that make it more sellable?

Then someone could take it over. It will never be sellable in the sense of recouping any of that loan money really.

Well, it isn't quite as bad as Westgate. Though, like Westgate, they don't allow you to trade into other resorts in their system. But still not as bad as the Westgate home resort 60 day reservation limitation on their newer deeds (since about 2009 or so).

You will never recoup the money you paid for the timeshare. Not the interest, not the principle.

If you purchase resale at one of the original 14 DVC resorts, you can use those resale points at any of the original 14 resorts. If you purchase a resale at one of the new resorts, which right now are Riviera, Villas at Disneyland Hotel and Cabins at Fort Wilderness, you will only be able to use those resale points at your home resort.
