Someone had a question on another DVC forum about buying at BCV and as I was composing my answer it just hit me - I think Disney just increased the value of BCV/BWV contracts (at least in the 1-5 year timeframe).
I had been somewhat worried that the opening of a new EPCOT/HS resort with a post-2068 end date would give pause to resale buyers of BCV. But now...a buyer 'educated' enough to consider a BCV/BWV resale purchase would have to balance the shorter RTU vs the knowledge that buying direct at Riviera is a fool's game.
When at 5 years cheap Riviera resale contracts - that can't be used at the 'original 14' - hit the market in volume I'm not sure what happens. But in the shorter term it seems like a strong positive for BCV/BWV owners.
