He thinks wl is more affordable and doesn't want to stay at AKV because of the distance to the parks. And BLT is too expensive.
WL is more affordable to buy into? To stay at?
He doesn't want to stay at AKV because of distance to parks...honestly, it all seems about the same to me. For one person's quick jaunt to MK from WL there's our nearly hour-long wait in early December because the boats were full. Nice wait, with family, not too cold not too hot, and my son lost a front tooth on the dock there, so there are memories, but it was a long wait. We generally have a rental car, anyway, so distances don't mean much to me.
And since he's talking about buying and staying, does that mean you will ALWAYS be booking home resort 11 months out? Because that's when it matters where you stay. We bought in '09 and I had our first home resort booking and stay for this year's princess run. So it wasn't until March 2015 that we did our first 11 month booking.
Bay Lake is too expensive to buy into? Or to stay at?
How old will you be when WL expires? Will it matter at that point? Since he sees that it's more affordable, do you guys get that it might well be BECAUSE of that expiration date? Can you break it down to how much per year? Do prices come more in line when you look at it that way?
Will you guys actually be happy with your 11 month home resort booking year after year?
We bought Bay Lake direct before it opened, and ultimately we aren't choosey about where we stay (except after 3 stays (2 family and 1 solo for me) at AKV we have little interest in staying there again), so buying SSR/OKW resale would have been a terrific idea for us.
