What is easiest resort for transportation to all of Disney properties ?
Easiest for all? None. There is no one resort with easy access to all parks.
It’s why I tend to drive. That levels the playing field. I mean, unless I am at bay lake and want to go to MK; driving would be silly then, but otherwise...
We like to go to Disney every couple of years, BUT we live close to Galveston so the
Disney cruise out of there is very convenient ( no airfare ). We like to cruise but maybe every 4 years or so.
You won’t be able to cruise on points if you buy resale...
Was not told of the restrictions on the buyers if I sell the timeshare the new buyer cannot use points for original 14.
Why does that bother you now? Buy something that works for you while you use it. Enjoy it. Get your money’s worth. Worry about selling later on, IMO.
we like to travel during Thanksgiving week since our school aged child gets that week off from school ( Fall break )
Your child is 5? That fall break thing is going to change. Do not make plans based on kindergarten schedules.
My neighboring district changed schedules a few years back entirely. Don’t rely on what it is now.
The boats really are the nicest way to get around and are calming too. My sons give me a hard time about taking the boats (takes too long in their opinion) but my daughter-in-law loves the boat so my oldest has to be careful where he treads on the boat issue.
Sounds like a perfect time for the ladies to take the boat while the guys take their choice, and see who “wins”.
can I rent points if for a special occasion stay wanted to upgrade to one or two bedroom suite
Yes you can rent a reservation through another owner, you can pay cash to Disney, you can get a transfer from another owner...
But I worry that you’re calling them suites. A hotel suite is often a very different thing that’s a timeshare villa. Please be sure to read all the information posts we have here before picking up the idea of buying again.
I like Grand Floridian because the 2 bedroom villas are not that much more expensive than the 1 bedroom ones, downside is Poly is better for kids.
Poly is better for kids? How?
One other thing is we have 2 kids but trying for a 3rd next years so would need sleeping for 5, but CCV one bedroom says 4 is limit.
Do NOT get used to the smaller units if you want to expand your family.
Even with my one kid (wanted 3 and the universe said “nope”) I don’t want to stay in a studio, and we had a family bed for ages! I want that room. Now he’s 15 and tall and he takes up room lol.
He’s never even stayed at our home resort (bay lake) because we can get so much more space and longer stays if we stay at OKW. I stay there on solo trips, but the family trips haven’t involved the hone resort.
Think of the future. Think of why you want dvc. Don’t get hooked into the idea that MK is the best park for kids (my son has never thought so!), a resort near Dave park is the best (not if you don’t love that resort, and not if the fave park changes), or a certain time of year. Big picture for where and when, and drill down to the core reasons of why you want to buy.
