Hi - so I was pretty set on buying BLT resale until the latest round of direct incentives hit and now I'm a bit confused. Not sure which option is the best for us.
We're a growing family of 3 (DD is 2-years old), never stayed at a DVC property before but we've been to Disney many times. Pre-kids, we'd stay mostly at Value or Moderate resorts and now we stay in a 1br suite off-site with the toddler. I don't mind driving to most of the parks, but having to park at the TTC and take the monorail to MK is such a pain. Hence the desire to own at a MK resort. The idea of being able to walk to MK from our hotel is just too good to resist.
Initially, I was set on BLT given it's the closest resort. Assuming I can get through ROFR at $140/point, how does that compare with the current VGF promotions (~$167/pt for first time buyers)? I don't necessarily care for being blue card members, especially since we already have Florida resident APs. How much further of a walk is VGF vs. BLT to MLK entrance? We did the walk from the Contemporary this past visit after dining at Chef Mickey's and that was what sealed my decision to buy DVC. I've only been to VGF for dining, never tried walking to MK from there.
Is the current VGF promotion "too good to pass up"? If I do opt for BLT resale, should I wait for prices to drop further? Obviously no one has a crystal ball but it's hard to believe this is the bottom when there's all this talk of impending recession.
