Most Economical Resort - Beyond Year 1

[AstroBlasters]

Does anybody else think the resale price for BLT is too low ?
I would sell my small contract but not for less than $200 per point
I think the current price is same as when I purchased in 2018 from DVCResale Market


I used to “ walk “ for holidays but can’t stand it anymore.
Too much work and pressure for me .
So at least one person doesn’t walk anymore if that helps.

I think most people would say that BLT looks like a good bang for the buck right now, especially with a well executed remodel…..but no one in their right mind would pay anywhere close to $200pp for a small BLT resale contract.

Maybe $140s if it’s fully loaded with banked points…. maybe…

@AstroBlasters examples
SPACE 220: today 1130 or 430 / tomorrow 12, 2, 630, 730, 8
CRT: today 10am
Round up rodeo: today 12, 2, 745, 8, 9, 930
Sci fi: today 2, 9
Topolino: 9, 1130, 730, 8, 9, 930

All these places have walk up/digital wait lists as well. You spoof your GPS on the phone and can join it from anywhere at WDW and see the wait and play the game of getting on the list when it's lining up to when you want to eat (they can close wait lists though at times).

Hopefully it helps knowing if you don't grab a reservation just keep checking day our or day of and you will get in.

I understand what you are saying, we just don’t have that type of flexibility with pre-teen and teenage boys.

Probably best to get the thread back on the topic of most economical resorts…..

Given the cost of a direct 5-6 hour flight each way for a family of four in seats with legroom…. at times when school is out….and park tickets… and food… and merch…. no chance I am leaving that up to the 7m leftovers.

I get that a LOT of people are not in that boat. However, I always cringe a bit when I read that someone can “always get a waitlist filled” or “always get a table” or “always find cheap flights”…. and then neglect to add the context that it’s usually just them traveling by themselves or with one other person in January or August….

(This is not specific to anyone, just in general saying that context matters).

Totally agree, however I also have similar reactions when I read people describing how nothing is ever available at 7 months so you need to buy where you want to stay.

It definitely depends on the room categories you target, the resorts you like, and the times you'll be traveling.
