We decided to sell BWV to buy RIV for a few reasons. One, I wanted to make my adult children owners and they seemed to like the idea of RIV with the Skyliner and easy access to Epcot and Hs,
I also liked the idea of giving up a 2042 resort for one that expires in 2070. Given the profit I would make on selling, it made a lot of sense,
.
I loved the idea of the tower studios for times when I went on a solo Trip which would be a point saver and comparable to lower priced studios elsewhere.
I loved the pictures and size of the rooms, etc. And, I even liked that CBR was close to have other food options or just options for walking around when not in the park.
My resorts of choice are BLT and VGF...and now RIV...but those
points charts were comparable to a RIV so the charts didn’t bother me, I also knew owning there would give us the best chance at SV rooms too,
After visiting in December, I knew it was the right decision. Yes, I am giving up owning at a resort that is walkable, but nothing prevents me from staying at those because I own RiV, if I am with someone who wants to stay there,
Even if Skyliner goes down, I plan to just walk to BCV and Lyft back to RIV.
Just didn’t see any negatives to owning this over BWV. Given that my children are now direct owners, and have a contract lasting much longer, it was the best move!
