Just remember that you’re buying a 50 year product and changes are gonna happen.
DVC isn’t the same product it was 25yrs ago.
We bought a FW44 Poly Lake View.
We thought through it long and hard:
1. We believed that DVC would eventually have to address Fall Frenzy so maybe the first two weeks of Dec problem would ease over time.
2. The first floor Lake View problem (can’t see over bungalows) was already being discussed so we believed if those views are eventually re-evaluated, then Lake View would be more rare.
3. Rumors when we bought that DVC would eventually add a new Poly building would make Lake View more rare in terms of total studios.
4. Week 44 (aka Jersey Week) This year, today would be the last day of Week 44. Started on 10/30
F&W
Sometimes Halloween and MNSSHP
Sometimes Christmas and MVMCP
Rarely both.
Nice weather generally
Point being; we spent a considerable amount of time trying to envision not what DVC would look like today, but what it might look like in 20 years when we picked our FW.
I cautioned DW that it was doubtful we’d need to use the FW option in the first decade since its a long term advantage we’re seeking. Still haven’t ever used it but I really like knowing it’s there:
Something like 2% or less of Poly contracts are FWs. We got something just a bit more rare; special.
