Our situation: We currently have 150 points at BWV, April UY. Right now, we find that we like going for about 2 weeks/year -- one in early May, one in early December (we did that last year and are doing so this year, through banking and borrowing). Add to that, we wound up loving BCV and VWL much more than BWV. We also stay strictly in Studios (just don't spend enough time in the room to warrant 2x the points for a 1-bed.)
So...here are my questions:
If we want to add 50-100 points at VWL, also April UY, it's $87/pt. through Disney. Can anyone shed light on what has been passing ROFR on the resales at this resort for small contracts? Also, how much are closing costs for resales of that size through TTS or others? In other words, for small contracts like this, would be ultimately pay less or more through Disney than via resale?
Also, don't know if this is a crazy idea, but -- since our DD is 3 and not yet in school, our 2x/yr. during May/December will not work out for long, given we'll be unable to pull her out of school (at least not twice a year, let alone once). But, if we still want to go once or twice a year, I'm thinking we'll still need more than 150 pts. -- since we'lll have to go during school breaks which are higher points -- plus, will probably need the 11-month window even moreso than now. Would it make sense to sell our 150 BWV contract and buy a 150 BCV contract instead to get the home resort advantage? (This would be in addition to having 50-100 at VWL, so we'd have home advantage at both resorts.) Would we lose money doing this? We bought in '99, and I think it was somewhere around $80/pt. (not certain).
Thanks so much to anyone who'd like to take this one on!
