2nd contract thought exercise

[typeamom72]

DH is coming around to the “more points are better” viewpoint I’ve been throwing at him for a couple of years now. I don’t think he’s quite ready to give in to more magic, but the “sell because dues are out” crowd might give me some deals to tempt him with. Where should we buy next given the following factors:

1) Will be resale (unless a fire sale comes along)
2) probably another 150 pts
3) pt charts matter to me - I like my pts to translate into longer stays
4) studios are fine for short trips, but 1 bedrooms preferred
5) split stays will never work (dh hates the idea)
6) already own at AKL
7) we like Epcot and its festivals the best
8) not every stay will include park visits
9) I’m not sure I can talk him into a 2042 resort.

I think those are the major factors for consideration… Any opinions?

Sort of a conundrum. I’d buy something like BLT or CCV and then try to book where you want to stay at 7 months. Or buy at PVB and try to get in somewhere with lower 1 br point charts at 7 months, and stay at PVB resort view for studios, taking the monorail to Epcot from the TTC. Then you could also waitlist a stay at a Crescent Lake resort.

Or just buy SSR and call it a day. It is the most affordable overall.

Well going from a studio to a 1 bedroom will use about twice the amount of points for the same length of stay. So probably need to get 300 points or more.

I was leaning toward CCV, but I wonder if the “vibe” is too similar to where we already own. BLT would definitely be a change.

I’m on board, but dh would shut that down quickly. The march toward the comma club will be sloooowwww.
