So - for anyone who's been following the saga, DH has ok'd a 2nd contract for an EP resort! So here's the skinny:
Our "plan" is for annual visits to WDW for about a week, and we'd bank points and alternate home resort advantage for a larger unit (1-2 br) each time.
Times we will likely visit, in order of likelihood as of right now:
LATE summer (end of August/Labor Day - ODD and I have birthdays a week apart)
Thanksgiving or Christmas (YDD birthday is Thanksgiving)
Easter week (weather is stinky at home and for skiing)
President's week
DH birthday (around July 4)
We currently have 185pts Feb UY at BLT (25 pts direct), so I'm thinking an August or September UY, about 200 points, at either BWV or BCV would work? Using that contract every other year would get us Sunday - Sat in a 2BR, or longer (or more trips) in a 1BR. As for $/point, back when I was looking in the spring, I would have thought $100pp for BCV and under $100pp for BWV, whichever came first, would be good. But what are people's thoughts now? We have some time to wait since we have enough points for 2 2018 trips already, so the earliest we'd use the new contract would be for a 2019 trip.
Is there anything else I'm missing? Thanks!
