Length of BW contracts

[DeeCee735]

When did the BW open? We bought in 2000, knowing that it expires in 2042. Just wondering if it was a 50 year contract?
It's easier to ask on the boards, than pull out the contracts, so thanks!

No it wasn't a 50-year contract. OKW had a 50-year contract in its first year of sales but when BWV, VWL, BCV, HHI and VB were built they inherited OKW's Jan 31, 2042 end date so none of those resorts ever had 50-year contracts. It was only when they built SSR that they finally extended the end date out to 50 years, something they have done with every resort since that time.
