I bought my main contract at BWV for several reasons.
The most important was location. I've been going to Disney since they opened, our parents loaded us up and an original family truckster and we rocked on down to DisneyWorld! We've stated at Deluxes, Mods and a couple values ( IMHO, did a value once and won't again ) There were things I liked about all the resorts, but when I went with Kris ( my sister DVCnewgirl ) to her BWV this December, being able to walk to Epcot and MGM when I wanted...I only wanted that location! Also, as someone who has used the resorts for a long time, the price point has changed. I believe now, even with the MFs, DVC will save me money.
When we used to go, when my oldest was little, I think we paid about $89 per nite for CBR, maybe they'd have a sale for 69-79? Anyway, we'd go for a week for next to nothing. I really loved CBR those days, the resort and rooms were beautiful and I saw no reason to buy DVC and pay MFs when I could have gotten a room for a week for the amount I would have spent on MFs. Well, CBR is nowhere near those prices anymore and for me the values are out...The MFs are much easier to swallow.
OK...I think I'm rambeling, I bought BWV because I love the location, point value and just the "feel " of the resort. For an add on- BWV is probably my # choice also, maybe BCV as it's the same area and if I buy my add on directly from Disney, it's the same price. OKW is a very appealing resort to me and a possible add on as it's the polar opposite of BWV, quiet and laid back. Also the huge room sizes, it's also got a great value for it's point chart. AKV and VWL won't work for me, mostly due to location. AK and MK are the resorts I visit least, though I look forward to booking a SV room at AKL just for the view someday. SS is gorgeous, I actually used to live in the real SS. The only turn off for me is the point chart is a bit higher than the rest, and with the size of the resort, when I want to stay there, there will usually be availablity.
Have I covered everything?
