Direct-From-Disney Price v. Resale

In comparison, all of these properties can be purchased on the resale market for much less! While there are some restrictions when buying resale, the drastic savings usually outweigh the cons. Plus, there are many ways to still get some of the member perks as a resale owner without the added price tag. If you’re on the fence about buying points, now is the time to purchase before Disney’s higher prices influence Right of First Refusal rates and resale prices and before the January 19th resale policy changes go into effect: Resale Policy Update – Effective January 19th
