I got back a signed contract this morning and now we wait for ROFR.
It took me a little while to accept that while we've loved being able to walk to EPCOT and HS from BCV there just is no EPCOT/HS resort I'm willing to *own* at this point. BWV and our beloved BCV expire Jan 2042 and Riviera has resale restrictions, high dues, and expensive point charts.
And it took me a little longer to realize that for the foreseeable future we will likely be travelling with kids' friends and then significant others and that having that 'extra' bathroom means we get our own. Priceless...and more or less a requirement for now. So the idea of standing pat and paying 'cash' to rent points at BCV or BWV isn't really practical - we'll only want to do that for WDW visits with less than a full crew.
Lastly , AKV is *fun* (or at least more fun than SSR or OKW) and gives us easy access to AK and reasonable access to HS. And we enjoy split stays so BLT for MK and EPCOT and AKV (Kidani) for AK and HS makes sense for us. At least that's the plan...we'll see how it goes... ;-)
