Wow, thanks for the HGVC info. That's interesting. If you get a great deal via resale on HGVC, it would take a long, long time to break even on the upfront money you would spend on DVC - even SSR resale (much less Disney's developer prices). :eek:

If you're interested in buying HGVC also take a look at the HGVC listings from the following recommended resale agents on the HGVC forum.

TUG member Seth Nock's site - http://www.sellingtimeshares.net/listings.aspx
Judi Kozlowski's REMAX site - timeshareresalepros (click on link and scroll down to see prices for each HGVC resort)

NOTE: Remember these are asking prices and the HGVC Vegas resorts have the lowest MF.

Good Luck :)

We have HGVC and were able to get a 2bdr and a 1bdr, at BWK for July 2010 and a 2 bdr at animal kingdom villas for a second week in July. But we love HGVC resorts. So buying HGVC was our 1st choice and DVC was the icing on the cake.

I have HGVC at International drive, but I cannot find any DVC whatsoever. Are there some regional block ?

Maybe you need to look at RCI Points somehow with your Hilton points.

I don't think there is a regional block for HGVC, but there sure is for anyone owning RCI Points in Orlando.

Try again tomorrow. I had a hard time getting the HGVC RCI link to come up and it's very slow at the moment.

Make sure you're changing the checkin date during your search. You can only search up to 10 weeks at a time using RCI Weeks (default is set to 5 weeks) or a month at a time using RCI Nightly.

See post #7 in this old HGVC thread for step by step instruction on how to search using the HGVC RCI link - http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100637

See post #34 in this HGVC thread regarding regional block - http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104836

I hope this helps :)

I made two reservations using the weeks side and one on the points side. Whenever I look I tend to see more rooms on the points side. Remember when using HGVC points you can set up a ongoing search, by phone with HGVC , by paying the reservation fee but you don't give them any points until the reservation is actually confirmed.
