Hi, I'm a newbie here and have been reading many threads on the boards here which have been very helpful. My DH and I are considering DVC resale since we go to WDW once a year and with my dietary restrictions we feel like WDW is a treat and plan to go every year!!
I would like some suggestions though before we make our decision. We typically stay at moderate resorts due to price but like the thought of staying at dlx for the nicer pools etc (we don't have to go to the parks every time) and can eat at the other resorts etc. We actually are renting points for the 1st time for our upcoming Sept trip at AKV which gave me the idea of DVC! Also, we really like the thought of being able to go to Aulani or the Hilton Head locations.
We are considering buying more points than we need and rent out the extra points. We are ok with studios for now but my DS is very young and as he gets older we might want to stay in a one bedroom which will require more pts. My question would be how easy is it to rent out points (obviously harder during bad economic times)? My one thought is to maybe buy smaller contracts at two resorts (100 - 150 at two) instead of buying one 200-250 pt contract. We would use one and rent the other out at least for a few years. If we need more we could bank/borrow to stay at the resort of choice that year. I'm thinking AKV for one since we love animals. Should I look at another resort that is more favorable to rent out? Or is it better to get one larger size contract?
Thanks in advance for your help!
