feasibility of adding two small contracts to existing?

[PsycProfPlum]

My wife and I currently own at SSR with an August use year. We would like to add BWVs but are on the fence between adding 100 points there or trying to add 50 points there and 50 at BLT. The main motivation for the 2 small contracts instead of the 100 point BWV are that we likely wouldn't use the full 100 at BWV each year (more like about 50-70), and a desire for booking priority at BLT.

My question is, is the hassle of trying to find two small contracts both with August UY, paying closing costs twice (we would be doing resell), going through ROFR twice, and the premium on small contracts worth it? Or more accurately, would it be worth it to you? Also, how long might it take to find the two small contracts that fit the bill (August use year, 50 points)? Weeks, months, years? Are there other issues maybe I'm not considering that I should?

TIY!!

Studios at BWV can be difficult to book, especially the standard views. With Star Wars opening in August, I expect to competition to be fierce at all times of the year, not just Fall Frenzy and race weekends. I would not buy a small BWV contract with the expectation of being able to get those studios on a regular basis. So, depending on how you anticipate using those points (annually for short trips? or every three years for a longer stay in a larger villa?) you may want to rethink your plan. BLT has is a bit easier to book at 7 months than BWV is, so I would just go with 100 points at BWV to be used at BWV and then use your SSR points to book BLT whenever possible.

Small BWV contracts can be hard to find.

I've seen several small BWV come across lately. If you're not picky on use year you should be able to pick one up fairly quickly. Whether it passes ROFR is another story.

We have a 25 pt BWV and haven't had much trouble booking but only book for 1 night usually so availability is easier to come by.
