My parents are about to buy a DVC membership (I know, woo hoo!) and I just have a question or two for the experienced vets here.
First, based on everything I've heard and seen, I think we would like the BCV best, but looking at resale prices, we're finding SSR points much cheaper than BCV points (which makes sense). So is it worth it to essentially shell out a lot more money (as much as $15/point x at least 200 points) to be able to book BCV sooner? If we are SSR owners, what are our chances of being able to book BCV 7 months out if we go at somewhat off-peak times, like the beginning of January?
Also, my dad has heard the rumors about a possible new DVC location where the CR Garden Wing now stands, and he looooves the CR. So he is all for buying 200 points now, then adding on 100 points or so when those are available. I'm not sure this is a great idea. First, my understanding is that you can only book as many points as you own at a resort 11 months out, so we would basically not have enough points at either of our "home" resorts to book at 11 months (we would need about 275-300 for a week at a 2-bedroom at the cheapest season, and that's what we want) which would essentially mean that instead of 2 home resorts, we would have no home resorts. Am I correct in seeing it this way?
Whew, this was longer than I thought it would be, but TYIA for your help!!!
