Thinking of adding on - need some explanation of the SSR point chart

To the OP, I guess the only way to find out is to stay at SSR!

For those of us who bring a car to Disney, the "bus" resorts are actually a bit more convenient. You have the freedom to go off-property if you need, and travel time to parks is almost always shorter than by bus, or even Monorail.

I'm pretty happy with a 6% savings off BCV on a 1BR. I'm really happy with a 10% savings on a THV vs a BCV 2BR or SV BLT 2BR, but your milage may vary, particularly if you're relying on the Mouse for transportation.

IMO, any long term savings under 20% makes owning DVC a poor choice. Too many risks and variables to settle for 6-10%.
 
Dean,

I should have been clearer -I was just referring to the OPs original comparison of pts for a 1BR at SSR vs BCV. 211 for a Choice week at BCV vs 197 at SSR is about 6% difference (actually 14/211 is a little more than 6.6%). The Treehouse to BCV 2BR is even better - 253 vs 278. (I fudged a bit 25/278 is about a 9% difference.) The room quality of the TH is certainly an advantage directly comparable to the plusses of BCV in location and amenities.

The OP did get me thinking about comparing the "prices" in points of the DVC resorts. Definitely something to consider when making a resize, particularly in making a decision about what view to book. Is a Savanna view (223 for a 1br) worth it vs Standard view (185)? Well, 38/223 is about an 18% increase - would you pay 18% more for the savanna view?

Thanks for the clarification. Whether I see a Savanna view as worth 20% more depends on the specifics of the trip including length, specific members of the traveling party, etc. Then there's the issue of whether using points is reasonable for a given trip compared to points.
