Hi all! This is my first post on a DVC thread.
We're looking at buying into DVC and we're trying to figure out which home resort would be best for our family. Our family consists of myself, my DH and our 3 boys, ages 6, 5 and 2. We're going on a cruise next week and have one night before and after planned at the WL and YC, where we'll check out VWL, BLT, BCV, and BWV. Can I just go to the DVC desk at these resorts and ask to see rooms?
From the pictures and videos we've seen, and because of their proximity to MK, we really love BLT and VWL and I think we'd be happy owning at either of these resorts. We are leaning more toward BLT because I like that the contract expires in 2060 (I'll be 77!). We could probably afford about 200-220 points at BLT. We plan on going every year and I would like to get a 1 bedroom most years, but when we take family or friends we'll need a 2 bedroom, so the year before or after we would have to get a studio. Being a family of 5, we won't fit in a studio at BLT. How hard is it to get a studio at VWL, VPB, VGF (BWV and BCV are going to fit 5 people also, right?) 7 months out? Should we be looking at buying into a resort where we will all fit in a studio instead of BLT?
With the DVC expansion at VWL, Disney will eventually be selling new/more contracts, right? I'm thinking maybe we could buy at BLT now and then add 100 points or so at VWL in about 5 years. Is the expansion expected to cause the price of the existing contracts to go up?
Thanks so much! Any other tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
