So has anybody booked a Grand Floridian unit yet?

Lots of owners on the Dis boards choking over the points price. But also plenty of them buying in. i
.

I don't hang out on the DIS anymore mostly Mouseowners but it's the same feeling over there.
I think this is definitely having an effect on bookings.

I had to bank forward this years points and borrow a future years points to get enough points for just 4 nights in a 2 bedroom.
That's alot of Disney visits that I could have done staying elsewhere but Auntie only turns 87 once and who knows how much longer she will be going to Disney with me.
I wanted to do this for her this once. Then I can get an exchange thru RCI for next year.
Luckily you guys have taught me all I need to know on how to get a DVC unit thru RCI.

So since GF is the most recent on RCI, does that mean its harder? I have an OGS for a DVC and I didn't state which one I wanted. Just that I wanted a DVC lol.

I would imagine so unless the mouse throws a few bones to RCI from their own inventory.
I doubt that would happen though since they have a very active rental system in place.
How many TPU's and how old is your ongoing?

I'm still not sure what a TPU is? My OGS is only a few days old. Like I have said I'm not picky. It's just cheaper to stay at a DVC, rather than booking a new ressie through Disney.

TPU = Trade Power Unit.
It's the Points that RCI assigns to your week when you deposit to them.
If you are using the Bluegreen (BG) corporate account you won't see TPU's.
TPU's are for those who deposit weeks on their own, usually unbranded resorts.
