My $0.02 on this is not to buy. I am not going to run the numbers or anything. Since you are in FL, you already of the cheap in state discount for tickets. Yes, you don't want to drive. I get that. It is easy to avoid as well. Disney transportation does not require park admission. It is free to anyone waiting there for it. I'll through this example out there for you.

  1. Rent Wyndham Bonnet Creek for $80 a night from an owner
  2. Uber to your destination at Disney ($10)
  3. Use Disney transportation after that to go where ever it is you wanted to go (free)
  4. When ready to go back to WBC, Uber ($10)
That is $100 for the day. Never have to worry about driving anywhere, still get to use the transportation, and it will still save you money...especially that huge outlay of cash just to be a DVC owner.

I love owning DVC so you won't get the advice to go to Bonnet Creek from me.

My $0.02 would be to stay in a one bedroom at OKW just once. You'll never want to stay in a hotel room, or a studio for that matter, again! I'm not a huge SSR fan but even a one bedroom there is far superior to a studio anywhere else.

If you buy an extended Disney's Old Key West Resort contract it's good till 2057. The point values are terrific and the resort is just what you two seniors are looking for. I know--because I'm a senior. I absolutely love OKW but you'd never find me in a studio!
