New Home Resort or Stay with AKV

[PadensAtTheCastle]

We just passed ROFR on our 270 point contract at AKV! We know this will be good for us for the next year or so, but we will need to add more points in 2027. We are a family of 4 with two young kids. We look forward to years of memory building. We plan on using our points for 1-2 long trips a year staying in a 1 bedroom. However, we know that in a few years we want to stay twice a year for 2 weeks in a 2 bedroom. All that information to say, should we look to add more animal kingdom points or look towards another home resort? We love animal kingdom but is it unwise to have 600+ points at one resort? If we could get a better deal with SSR, I would imagine that would be ok since a 2 bedroom at AKV isn't too hard to get. However, if we are wanting the points for a 2 bedroom at animal is the cheaper funds worth the possible headaches with different resorts and trying to book at 7 months, instead of 11 months. Regardless of the home resort, we will have all contracts with the same UY.

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving

I'm thinking that with kids you'll be restricted to going at times when school is out so I think getting a 2BR @ AKV for 2 weeks then could be an issue. AKV resales are going for not much more than SSR so I don't think it would be worth the trouble just to save a few bucks by buying SSR (and I own @ SSR).

That’s what we were thinking once diving into the numbers. We would love to do 9-10 days at RIV. Do one 9-10 day trip at AKL and another at 9-10 at Rivera. We just don’t know if we could swing those prices whereas animal kingdom prices are good with us.
