The thoughts going through my head right now:
I’m looking at 200 pts, which would get me a 1BR for almost any time of year at OKW, or a studio almost any time of year at RIV.
But, we don’t travel regularly with anyone other than the two of us, so do we need a 1BR?
But, 1BR and a kitchen and laundry in the room makes it more comfortable to be there and likely will save us money vs having to eat on-property all the time.
But, OKW 1BR isn’t really hard to get at 7 months for most of the year so I could go with RIV which will I think will probably tighten up on availability when it sells out and still stay at OKW or another resort with easy 7 month access if I wanted to do that.
But, if I’m not sure I’ll be staying at RIV because of the higher
points charts, cheaper points at OKW might make more sense.
But, dues at OKW are higher and likely to grow faster than at RIV so in the long run RIV points probably aren’t that much more expensive.
But, OKW points on resale aren’t restricted and may hold value better as a result
But, I like RIV location better in the long run
But poly tower location I might like even more and maybe I should wait to see what that looks like
But if I wait OKW will likely become unavailable before enough details are known.
But, RIV will be, and I like RIV too.
Etc…..
Arg!
