Was going to buy Direct, Now im not sure.. Advice welcome!

[Deb & Bill]

... And we still REALLY want to buy at the GF
Maybe its emotional.. We just want a home resort we are going to love, not one I always have to worry about switching our points with.
We just don't see spending this kind of money if we are not going to like the home resort. This was a main reason we did not buy in when AKV & BLT were built.

The only other resort we would like is the boardwalk, but only because its close to our two fav. Parks.. We have never even seen the inside.
But between the age of the contract and limitation disney puts on resale.. It's just has us worried.
...You still get all the discounts AP? paying cash for resort room, and DCL?

Thanks everyone

You might want to take a look at the number of points that the GFV require for booking. When I saw that, I decided life was too short to use up all my points there for a stay. And since we really don't like to stay a night then move, we probably will never stay there. Like AKV Savanna view. I'm only going to stay with a savanna view at AKV, but the points required are high. And, like I said in another thread, I'm cheap. My points go a lot further at OKW which I adore.

But before you think you like BWV or BCV because they are close to Epcot and DHS, you probably want to check them out. You might not like the BWV out once you check it out. When we bought in 1997, we had the option of OKW and BWV at WDW and we chose OKW because we liked it a lot better - bigger villas, full kitchens and not just galley kitchens, full size washer and dryer, not stackables.
