I like SSR a lot at the record low prices that some on this board have been able to negotiate. Dues are lower than OKW which is the most similar resort. You can use them as SAP points for yourself, or choose to rent them out.
The attractive 2 bed
point chart at SSR is great. There are a lot of points and a lot of 2 bedroom units, but that's the sweet spot of SSR- space. Every resort has their target audience. For SSR, it's families with kids Kindergarden through 4th grade where the families value space due to early bedtimes and ADRs for character dining. For families with preschool children a 1 bed BLT would be my recommendation for an easy nap, with a focus on MK. The other SSR audience would be retirees who love Disney, enjoy the space, and don't need to maximize every minute at the park and would rather save than pay up for the monorail or skyliner access. This latter group would likely be
DVC owners already.
SSR at $70/point gives you lots of options and a ton of value. You could rent out the points at SSR easily. The attractive 2 bedroom price chart makes it attractive for a family looking to trade up that would otherwsie pay cash for an Art of Animation family room. SAP isn't bad. If you have 300 points and looking to travel in a spring break-non easter period, 299 gets you a week long 2 bedroom. You can size at 150 and go every other year. You could also SAP at 7 months to a BLT 1 bed lakeview for 306 points / week. lakeview is more costlier than standard but more likely available at 7 months.
There are a ton of value options depending on what you are looking for - rough pricing for 150+ sized contracts:
SSR - $70/point range - very attractive entry price and dues
BRV - $90/point range - very attractive price for a MK area resort, boat to MK
BWV - $100/point range - walk to epcot, attractive point chart
BLT - $115/point range - monorail to MK, lots of 1 bedrooms, 2060 exp (worth $15-20 over the 2042s in my opinion)
There are nicer resorts that cost more, and all the above have some downside. But the value of the current price point is really attractive to me. SSR is the value leader but if you rather stay at BRV, BWV, BLT the price per point is a reasonable step up to get the 11month booking advantages at these resorts.
