I booked the last weekend of April 2020 at VGF. It is a normal weekend for me to go as I like the whole Dapper Day thing. I have had luck switching to Beach Club on this weekend.
This year, DD was announced late. Its the next weekend.
There is limited availability that weekend. Basically Poly Bungalow View and BLT. Not thrilled about the point cost of PVB Bungalow view. BLT has never really been an interest (its actually the only WDW DVC resort I have not stayed at).
I could switch to the next weekend (and even pay cash at Beach Club - not totally opposed to that) - It does get me my Dapper day, but I am worried about the May 4th - crowds etc.
I could also switch to PVB (Love the poly, not in love with the points needed) - downfall here is I am not short points for my trip the week after labor day week. I could do a split stay and pay cash for beach club then, F&W.\
Think there is likely to be a difference in regular hotel room cost and availability at Beach club between the 2 stays such that it would be a lot better to pay cash for one as opposed to the other (I cant see F&W being discounted much, but I do not really know).
Am I missing other factors about the May 2 - May 5th trip such as marathons, etc?
TIA
