I think I have convinced DH to look seriously at a small resale contract. I researched DVC pretty extensively a few years ago but we never made the final decision to purchase. If I recall, two important considerations in looking for a DVC contract are the specific resort and use year. We are pretty flexible in terms of where we will stay (just won't stay at AKL without a savanna view) although with our kids mostly out in the real world, we are limited mostly to travel at peak times, like holidays. So my thought is that we want to own DVC points a resort, and with a use year, that will give us access to the most options at peak times. So if I am correct, resorts like Hilton Head wouldn't work well for us, because we would not have access to WDW resorts at 12 months. I'm starting my research with AKL and Poly because those would be our preferred resorts, but which others should I consider? If I recall, the EPCOT resorts are also very much in demand and hard to book if not booked at 12 months. Those who own DVC, how did you decide which resort, which use year, and how many points?
Any and all advice welcome. I'm excited to get back into thinking about this but also banging my head against my desk because I had pretty much mastered the DVC world a few years ago and now there are only traces of that info left in my brain . . . We decided not to buy a few years ago because our oldest was starting college and we weren't sure how many more WDW trips were in the near future. But we, in some combination, have been back pretty much every other year, with that likely to continue. With four kids, plus their occasional guests, it would be great to have the options of one or two bedrooms.
