Thanks for the thoughts! We're hoping to move ahead soon and not hold out. When we looked at the point charts, it seems like AKL requires less points per night/week when it comes down to it. (Same with SSR) So, that seems to be a better idea, then also factoring in contract length.
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here. Points are points and if you have 100 of them you can stay at animal kingdom with BC points and vice versa. The only reason home resort matters is for the 11 month booking privilege (which is not to be underestimated) and other factors like length of contract and annual dues. If you probably really want BC accommodations anyway why would you buy AKL? AKL is one of those resorts that you can usually book even at peak times due to it's size anyway.
I may be missing something so I apologize for that in advance if that is the case.
