We are close to buying our first membership on the resale market. From reading these boards everyone says that SSR is one of the best values because of a low buy in point and low fees. My question is, why are the fees low and the buy in price low?
Are the dues low because there are a lot of units and the costs are spread out among members more? Is the price low because it isn't located near the Magic Kingdom or Epcot? Are they low because they have less amenities or the resort isn't as nice?
We are MK people so we're also considering BLT or VWL but we are content with split stays, studios of any type of view, and don't tend to travel at very busy times (although I do like going for Thanksgiving sometimes) so we're wondering if we should save ourselves the $30/pt difference between SSR and BLT and give up the 11 month window for the lower dues and total cost. However, I'd love to hear from experts for any catches or "you get what you paid for" tips because I've never been to SSR.
Thanks in advance!
