Hello there; normally I'm an extreme lurker on the boards, but I have a dilemma and would like some input.
We are current DVC members at a couple of resorts, looking to do a small add-on of 50 points at Wilderness Lodge (planning to use every other year in chunks of ~100). No matter what, we are probably going to buy direct from Disney for this one; our UY seems somewhat rare in WL resale contracts (we want to keep to one UY) and the price difference isn't that huge since it's a small amount of points.
Initially my thought was to go with CCV, since the contract life is much longer than BRV and I like the aesthetic of CCV slightly more (but really either would be fine with me). However, we are very much "studio people" and (based on various factors) we will likely stay that way into the future.
The problem is, it seems like CCV has a studio availability issue. For example, we like to go in the fall, and even 10 months out, I can see that CCV barely has any studios free, whereas BRV is wide open. I feel like this problem may be due to both the cabins at CCV, along with the two separate studio categories at CCV vs one big "pool" of rooms at BRV.
Do you think this issue with CCV might ease up as more rooms are declared, or do the other factors just sort of leave CCV in this bad studio situation forever?
Right now, unless I'm missing something, it looks like the main downside to BRV is its expiration date, which makes it a worse "deal." However we aren't THAT concerned with contract length... we probably won't need so many points anyway by 2042, and we aready own contracts that will last beyond that date. Just trying to figure out if my logic makes sense... I think we are leaning toward BRV.
