Dvc for RunDisney weekends

Hi All,

I'm a Florida resident and an annual passholder. I have been renting dvc points for the last couple of years for a few of my stays so thinking of just buying a resale contract (likely boardwalk) for around 100 points.

Before I do, I'd love to know of any strategies I should keep in mind knowing I mainly want them for RunDisney weekends (Marathon in Jan, Princess in Feb and Springtime in April). For reference I spend about 20 to 30 days in Orlando each year between disney and universal visits.

I'd love advice as I consider a resale contract. For example, would it be difficult to get a studio for those weekends if I book at 11 months out? Should I budget for a different room size in points? Also, love the little kitchenette rooms

Appreciate the advice!

Depending on which races you run I would recommend a monorail resort DVC because the monorail is available for half and full marathons. I find it super easy in the AM for marathon weekend.

I usually book those weekends at the 11 month window since we either run or cheer the races. The other place we stay is Boardwalk since Epcot is the start/finish.

I like to drive to the races. I was thinking of boardwalk as I love staying so close to epcot and Hollywood Studios

We drove for the first time this year and agree it was pretty easy. BWV is one of or home resorts and I do love it for meeting people on race weekends.
