Hey All!
So first a big thank you shout to ALL of you as well as to 'The DVC Show' - we have learned an incredible amount in such a short amount of time, all because of what you have provided, in threads, videos, blog posts, etc.
We've been reading up a ton and we would like to know what you think about our situation.
By end of year:
Husband = 49 yrs old
Me = 46 yrs old
Son = 5 yrs old
Given our son's age, we need to avoid pulling him out of school, which puts us at an annual stay during Dream / Magic Seasons.
We are attracted to 2 resorts (resale) -
1) Beach Club, for its overall desirability, pool, proximity to Epcot / HS, and has a shorter contract. Cons would be that it's pricer, need more points and fees are higher.
2) Saratoga, for its low cost and proximity to DSprings (late-night bus service). Cons would be the plethora of other contracts (lower demand) and the longer expiration date (we are going to be in our 80's by the time this thing expires).
I know folks say buy where you want your home to be, but we are also not gamblers, always see the silver lining in everything, and want to get into this game with as little as possible. We are wondering if you have any input? So while we would be happy to stay at SSR, the longer commitment (expiration) scares us. We would be ecstatic to stay at BCV, esp given the shorter commitment, but the costs are higher.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!!!!
