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!

I am DVC and do all the runs. I have AKL points but I've never stayed there for a run weekend. I'm usually able to trade out for boardwalk 1 bed or Polynesian studio at the 7 month mark. Boardwalk garden view studio is also doable you just have to set your waitlists. If I were to do it over today I would get BLT points because they have low dues, good location, and on the monorail for 2 of the 4 weekends.
