I've been spending the last few months deciding how/when to buy into DVC. We're a young couple, no kids yet, looking to stay in studios for the time being during our trips to WDW. I've got some questions for you all.
1. I'm aware of the resale restrictions at Riviera. I don't believe our Disney habits will change much, but I know life happens. We have 3 WDW trips planned for 2020 and we love going, so I know DVC is right for us. I'm going in January so I'm planning on checking out Riviera while I'm there. We've had lunch at Wilderness Lodge (where we did our DVC tour) before and love the resort. My favorite park is MK and hers is Epcot. Any of you out there own at Riviera? How are you liking it so far? We're trying to decide if it's the resort for us.
2. How many points would you recommend starting with? Not particularly interested in the Tower Studios at Riviera, as we would more likely stay in the Deluxe Studios. I'm thinking of starting with 150 but wanted some opinions on that amount.
3. Do we determine our "use year", or is this assigned to us? This is a concept I still haven't fully researched, but plan to do so - so don't attack me lol. Our big trips would most likely be between Jan-May or Sept-Oct during the slower times (I know it's NEVER slow anymore, but hear me out).
