After many years of debating DVC vs. no DVC and having a resale BCV contract taken by the Mouse, my husband and I are strongly considering buying into VGF. Yes I realize that we would get a much better deal buying resale. I think as we get older (we're both in our 40's) we'll love staying at the Grand. We stayed there once before and enjoy the elegance. I like that we can put our family of 5 in a studio (for now) and it just feels like a good choice for us. I've done my research and I think I know what I'm getting. As much as you possibly can.
Here's my question...
I know we want an August Use Year. This will be our 4th summer in a row traveling in the end of August and my 4th year in a row traveling for Marathon Weekend. I'm thinking about starting with 160 points. A studio at the end of August is 153 points (for now anyway). So I know we'll at least be able to book that. I do realize that addonitis will strike as we will eventually want larger accommodations.
I am crazy to start with 160? I don't want to get in over our heads (financially or otherwise) but I also want enough points that we can use them.
Thank you everyone who has answered previous questions and supported me when our BCV contract was taken by ROFR.
