Need help with resort decision

[TEK224]

Just looking for opinions here. I'm thinking of doing an add-on when I go to WDW in Aug.

Can I get an add-on for 100 points at AKV if my current home resort is SSR? Or do I have to purchase 160? I'd be financing through Disney.

I can't make up my mind whether to go with SSR or AKV for my add-on. I like all the resorts and bought SSR through Disney, because that's what they were selling at the time. I like to try the different resorts and have stayed at OKW, BWV and SSR. I don't feel my vacation will be ruined if I couldn't book a resort at the 7 month (or less) window. Any Disney DVC is fine for me.

So, I'm thinking if I book AKV, I'd get the few extra years on the contract. Of course those few extra years will go to whomever I will my deed to, since when SSR expires in 2054, I'll be pushing 90

Any thoughts?

Members may add-on as few as 25 points at any of the DVC resorts (based on availability). There are incentives available for larger purchases at SSR and AKV (I think it's a minimum of 50 at SSR and 100 at AKV for the incentive).

Enjoy!

If you don't really care, go with low dues and/or long contract. Since you own SSR, having all your points at the same resort will be easiest - and SSR has both low dues and long contract.

If you cared where you were at 7 months, then an add on at your "favoritest" resort would make sense.

Crisi is right on, if you don't care what resort you will stay in, go with SSR. Lower price, better incentives (like double points the first year) and lower maintenence cost.

Also, the 25-point minimum add-on only applies if you retain your original use year. If you want to add points with a different use year, you need a second master contract (160-point minimum) if you buy direct from DVC (as opposed to resale). Adding points under your original use year may be limited by DVC's current inventory of points. If so, you can get on a waitlist for add-ons.

Thanks!

Would I have to buy 100 points at SSR to get the developers points? Or could I buy 50-75 and still get the extra points?

Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the promotional minimums are 50 pts at SSR and 100 pts at AKV.
