Be aware that at BWV all 2BR are lockoff, this makes them as difficult to get as studios. When someone books a studio at 11 months, a 2BR is gone too and a 1BR remains.Can I specifically get some advice on this... Jumping in because I have a inner debate.
I wanted 50-90 points at BW because I just love the area and struggling pulling the trigger on RIV. Walking is huge for me and BLT gave me that but want a different area now. Banking so we can score 1-2 bedrooms for a few nights to split stay with my BLT stays. Studios for when we want to go cheap but family is growing and grandparents want to tag along.
We travel Jan-Feb and in the future want Sep-Early Oct. So specifically we are debating BW but don't like contract length, SSR is actually nice to us but park access with strollers is big ding but affordable for SAP, RIV is nice but falling in interest due to price and restrictions for us. So if I was to jump on a SSR contract with my current use year we get more for our money which means we could maybe spend more points for that 1-bedroom every trip for say 3 nights but nervous about Sept time at BW.
Availability at BW during September 7mos for: studio (know it's impossible), 1-bedroom, and 2 bedroom???
Trying to decide if I could just bank up points or score a few nights at BW in my usual seasons realistically or if I really need to keep looking for BW. I rather have the longer contract as my family is young but I do hate not having access to Epcot resorts ever as stroller access to two parks is why we wanted BLT originally. I know it's long but please give me your honest opinion as I see you often have good advice. Thank you
At other resorts, 2BR are usually a bit easier to get at 7 months, but not BWV.
1BR on the contrary, are very easy to get outside the pick times (late September to maratona week end in January), and with a bit of luck even at 7 months.
In general, if you plan on booking 1BR, then using SSR for sleeparound points is a very good idea.
Of you travel times, marathon week end in January and from the last week of Septemeber will be difficult.
Usual rule: would you be upset if you cannot get BWV every time? Then buy BWV.
Are you flexible to travel at slower times? Then SAP work really well for 1BR, less so for 2BR.
