Riviera 50 yrs vs Boardwalk 22 yrs Value

Then post #4 outlines why it is actually ok to go with what you want to! And it's not including the monetary benefit of having the $12K not tied up in DVC. But it will mean that if you still want to be visiting Disney with a timeshare that you'll be shopping again in 2041/2042. As mentioned, that's a long time away and you never know what changes will happen in the next 2 decades.

And I see you did the opposite.

hahah yah i did . I already own at boardwalk so decided to go the other way. We check in at Riviera on the 29th already so if I hate it I can cancel the add on but I'm sure I won't

I know the OP is asking about economic value. However, assuming that one has the discretionary income to choose either resort, for me it comes down to "emotional" value. Where do I want to spend my vacation?

I've said this before, but perhaps it bears repeating:

The good feelings about a great deal are soon forgotten if one isn't able to stay where she wants to stay, when she want to stay there!

zakdavid - which resort has your heart?

So, basically what you're saying is buy where you want to stay where you'll be happy which is a constant reply to many threads here. That is the best continuous advice here it just seems that no one ever adds that into the buy equation.
I have stayed in one DVC property that my family and I just don't care for at all and only would stay there if forced again. I don't care how much money I could save buying it if it was the cheapest property to buy it would never see one dime of my hard earned money.
