It's been so fun following this thread! Keeping me from some of my usual doom-scrolling. Ha!

Can totally relate...

I am so happy for you guys. CCV is one of my favorites, especially during the Christmas Holiday.

My DH is similar to yours, he will throw something random out an dmove on as if I am not going to stop him and say "are you really saying lets do another add on?"

So when do you think you might try to get some BWV points exactly?

I haven't been following LL stuff at all. I think I need to check it out. Will LL be apart of the same contract as the FW cabins? I don't think I knew that.



You could always try for the BRV studio that sleeps 5 at the 7 month mark though!
But I do think it's weird that the BRV studios sleep more than their 1-bedrooms.

There’s some speculation that maybe they will be rolled in, but even if not I like that if we were at the cabins LL would be close by for more dining etc.

I’m going to be on the lookout for some starting now, as of right nothing out there that fits my needs.

I think you will find that it’s a bit tougher shopping for the CL resorts than AUL/CCV/BLT contracts. Especially the smallish contracts (100 points and less).

Yeah it’s slim pickins especially if I hold my ground for a Dec UY.

In my experience, I suspect there are more Dec BCV contracts than BWV.

 

[VGCgroupie]

Of course

Do you have enough direct points to book LL or the cabins? I recall you mentioning not wanting to use your expensive VDH points elsewhere…but maybe I’m misremembering since you don’t really like VDH anyway?

@VGCgroupie do you have other UYs? If you actually want to stay at BWV in Dec, you might want the ability to start a walk before Thanksgiving.

Not at the moment….

They are hidden doors . They are all inset inside the walls and pop out during an emergency to lock the place down. If you know what to look for you can see them otherwise you probably don’t know they are there.

yikes! Those sound like some intense doors and I hope they never have to be used!

I really don’t but it seems I will have enough between VDH and VGC for our DLR trips. If we love LL and they don’t have crazy dues we would see ourselves selling something and buying there.

I do have FEB UY also, I was just wanting to have it with my CCV UY to make combining easier if I ever need to

Me either.

 

[VGCgroupie]

Here is one of them at Beach Club it’s inside the surround of the walkway. So in an emergency it pops out of the wall. It can keep out people and help stop a fire from spreading.

I always assumed it was some sort of security fence like in a mall. So neat to know it's a door! I've passed that SO many times!!

What is the likelihood of you using BWV points elsewhere or having to combine with CCV? I’d give real thought to getting points in your Feb UY if you ever want a Resort or Boardwalk view studio or 2br at BWV. It is pretty much a requirement to walk these rooms, so a Dec UY will be a killer if you want to stay in December.

The thing about the Feb UY is that for the holidays you’d be in the danger zone and unable to bank if you cancel.

 

[kgou]

this thread has me wanting to sell my SSR SAP for some CCV and BWV points

 

[tx911]

So we settled on an our choice.

We will be keeping CCV.

We are not buying BLT now or ever

As Im sure many of you suspected I am spoiled rotten so I am probably going to add on at BWV but since I really did love CCV I am in no rush. I have to find a great deal and it has to have extra points or I won’t buy it.

I really think having 11 month access to MK area and CL area is key in order for me to love our trips. 100 home resort pts at WDW was never enough when all 6 of us visit.

My original thought was to sell 100 pts CCV and buy 150 at BLT or BWV. I will be keeping an eye out for a BWV in the 100 pts range.

I was leaning this way but the points you all made here about the CCV point chart really solidified that choice for me. I liked CCV alot. The boat ride to MK was great. Since I had to think about comparing CCV to BLT selling CCV to buy BLT made no sense at all. BLT needed to knock it out of the park and it didn’t. If it had a better theme park view point chart we would’ve felt differently.

I you tubed some BCV videos and I cant believe I am going to say this but somehow the artwork at BWV completely and utterly sold me. If BCV didn’t have the generic beach photos I could’ve been turned. That in addition to never being able to have a boardwalk view from there. I have not broken t his news to my son. He dreams of SAB even though he has never been.

I did concede that I will also watch for BCV and if a perfect deal comes up there I will be persuaded.

My husband was trying real hard to make a case for BLT because of that 2nd bathroom. At this point in the trip I was really thinking heavily about Poly due to the 2nd bathroom and how thats why my husband liked BLT and the Poly rooms are very nice. This is when I had to decide go to OKW or go see Poly again. We were in line to boat over to Poly and my husband says “no, I don’t like Poly” I asked why and he says he doesn’t know why he just doesn’t. He did say the Tower was too far disconnected from the main hall and transportation.
I was prepared to make a small case for Poly, because this trip really really solidified for me the importance of direct points. Why? When I saw Lakeshore Lodge! Anyway I had my point charts printed to make my case for Poly and I realized Poly is only good if we wanted studios and we don’t. The points for 1 and 2 beds is just insane. Although I like nice things and that Penthouse But no I have to be reasonable so no Poly for us.


Now back to LL. I never thought that LL would be something Id care to entertain. But my husband saw the A-Frames and I saw his face light up. We also really like the idea of FT Wilderness but don’t know if we would ever stay in a Cabin there. So we plan to try to visit CCV next November/December to experience it during the holidays. Previously I said I wouldn’t be going to WDW during this time of year but I have been turned. Now I wont be going to FL in May-Mid Sept. Even if it’s free at you MM. After next Christmas time we all should know more about LL. If DVD doesn’t pull some crazy cabin dues nonsense we may consider selling CCV at that point for LL and possibly some of our other points to buy there.


Some other tidbits of info from my mind.

To be honest my CCV contract was a phenomenal choice and I have all of you to thank for that, I learned so much here on the boards while making my purchase that I made a wise decision and bought there even though the price per point was no SSR. This is my little workhorse contract and I have used it to stay so many places but if I had to stay at CCV due to rule changes or no availability elsewhere I would be perfectly happy. I used to think I could stay at SSR or OKW if thats all that was left. No. I would just not go to WDW if those were my only options. I used to think I could do a resort only stay there. No. They are the resorts of no resort for me. I love that others love those two resorts, but I am glad that I got to see them before committing to a stay there or gosh forbid own there.


I am very fortunate that I had the ability to take this trip. I learned so much. This trip will very much help all my future trips be more successful and not as stressful. I will know how to get places, where I don’t want to go where to do want go and the resort I stay at I will know what I am getting myself into.



Thanks everyone for being online to help me out while I was stuck in the rain completely confused and not sure what to do next. You all are my people.

Congratulations on your decision! This thread has been quite the odyssey!

Not that it matters in the least, but I think you made a great choice. I have often thought about adding on a little bit at Copper Creek just to be able to occasionally get in around the Christmas holiday. Of course, I often think about adding on a little bit pretty much everywhere.
