You are one year younger than we are . BRV expires in 2042... at which time, dear wife & I are 90 . Just us - not going to WDW in Scooters .
Someone in their 40's? ehhhh - BRV would likely be a bad deal .
We have had various members of our parties use ECV scooters at various times. Sometimes it was because they were older and had arthritis. Sometimes they were younger but had recently had surgery. One of my children broke their back and they were recovering. Once it was my daughter who was in her 20s, but was dealing with a high risk pregnancy. I remember going around with her and hearing people making comments that they, “couldn’t believe that young healthy people were using scooters.” I ignored it, but my sister in law turned to them and told them off. (She is known to be a firebrand.)As someone who has watched as his father has had to go from walking around WDW to using a scooter for trips, I would probably stop going when that happened. And sadly our 2019 to WDW with my parents will be my dad's last trip at the age of 75.
As good as WDW is about accommodating wheelchairs and ECV's it's still a pain in the butt to get around in one.
I have quickly looked and read some comments and studios got it pretty good.
How about 30 years from now? I'll be 91, going on 92 if I make it when OKW and BRV expire. Don't think I'm going to worry about that. Jan 31, 2042 is 23 years from next January.I understand your concerns. But I deliberately avoided buying a resale on any 'short term' property. I will be 65 this year and I'm hoping to still be going to Disney World on a regular basis, 20 years from now!
. . . Sometimes you might just have to split up and meet at the park.
There's no reason to, predictable and within written rules they should have understood going in.And some of the DVC owners on different groups are having meltdowns.
Of course there is no reason, but the histrionics are notable.There's no reason to, predictable and within written rules they should have understood going in.
And predictable, unfortunately. Just more entitlement thinking with lack of personal responsibilityOf course there is no reason, but the histrionics are notable.

Another option,based on point reallocation?
1) Buy largest (subsidized) offering.
2) Sublet extra space to a second couple. Contract allows this, as long as the OWNER books.
Not doing this yet.... but if Point reallocation demands it? We have a plan.
All personal opinion - I'm not necessarily right, no one else is necessarily wrong.
As I read the POS, that's not accurate. IIRC the POS says they shall use demand rebalancing if needed to even out demand. That things end up eventually all booking doesn't change that. I've long said that to me the studios were too low compared to the 1 BR but in reality we don't have the data that DVC has.The fact is, Disney really does need to adjust the number of points for Studios. Studios book out and that makes it hard for everyone to have flexibility, especially after the 7 month window. By raising the price of Studios, relative to the other unit types, Disney will help to shift the users, to spread them out better, over all the unit types. This will make Studios more available, for longer. Studio users will benefit.
I don't think they should have raised the points on 1 bedrooms. I do think they should have increased the Studios and I think they should increase the studios even more. I would like to see another increase next year, comparable to this year, in the cost of the Studios, and either keep 1-bedrooms the same, or drop them a bit. It is a problem for a lot of people that Studios go up. I own at Poly where it pretty much is ALL Studios (since most people won't be using the Bungalows.) But in the end, it really is beneficial to adjust the points to spread people over all the units, so that everyone doesn't just sit around fighting over Studios.
It was always explained that points reallocate within seasons and days of the week. (Not between studios and large units). Pardon us that interpreted a vacation home as it should be. Hardly entitlement thinking to plunk down major cash for something, plus annual cash, and expect a consistent product in return. Your definition of entitlement is crazy.And predictable, unfortunately. Just more entitlement thinking with lack of personal responsibility
I'm not sure where you got that expiation but we've seen previous reallocation between villa types such at THV and SSR. But the reference was to histrionics, DVC seems to have more than it's fair share who participate.It was always explained that points reallocate within seasons and days of the week.

Meh, you see hysterics, I see passion. Where would we be in a world without passion? It takes all types Dean.I'm not sure where you got that expiation but we've seen previous reallocation between villa types such at THV and SSR.
