When is it worth getting a DVC contract with a 2042 expiration?

I think Disney will offer extensions on the 2042 resorts. Especially at popular resorts such as BCV, BWV, BRV.
As 2042 approaches the direct points will have to come down and Disney has never reduced a price. Also, they’d go several years without making a dime on these resorts unless direct prices come down significantly. A 15 year extension offer would maintain direct pricing in the mid-200s and they could charge $50 pp for s 15 year extension to current owners and my guess is that many would exercise that option. Especially as we draw closer to 2042.

I truly believe there is no chance extensions are offered. Even ignoring what happened with OKW, I'm convinced Disney is dying to redo those point charts. Those "Gen 1" resorts are too far below the new generation of DVC, they need 2042 here ASAP to bring those back up to speed.

I agree Disney is going to have a hard reality to face in terms of pricing and sales before 2042, but being able to resell the entirety of BWV and BCV with new crazy point charts at some outrageous PPP has to be drool-inducing for them.

I knew that and still just added on Direct 100 pts at BWV at $200/pt (ouch). That works out to lifetime $9.79/pt plus MF (double ouch). It was clearly an emotional luxury item purchase.

We had money to spare (market highs).
We have fallen in love with BWV since the scary clown is gone. 1 trip pre-Covid/3 trips post-Covid.
Location, location, location.
IMO, best point charts (more bang for our points with Standard Rooms).
11 month booking priority (standard villas).
Hope to out live our BWV 2042 expiration (we'll be 85 then).
Go Direct for low point/specific UY contract.
Go resale if you're not picky about # pts/UY and are patient.
