I am looking to purchase via resale 300 points for BCV. I will be purchasing for trip for a large family trip (8 adults / 8 children) For the week of Thanksgiving in 2022. We will be using points more randomly afterwards. Would be booking 2 two bedroom villas. How difficult would it be to book at 11 month window.
Thanks

With BCV, there has, to date, been no problem booking 2BRs at 11 months out for any time in April or May, including Easter weeks and Memorial Day weekend. For BLT, there can possibly be problems if you want standard view. Lake view and theme park view have always been open beyond the 11 month window for any time in April or May.
 
And to add if considering between the two:

Studios at BLT are about 20 sq ft smaller than BCV, a very noticeable difference, but BLT 1BRs and 2BRs are about 80 sq ft larger than BCV, with much larger living room/kitchen areas and have amenities you cannot get at BCV: BLT has excellent views from most lake view and theme park view rooms while BCV is generally lacking in views; BLT 1BRs and 2BRs have an extra bathroom and the twin-sized pull-out chair in the living room. both of which can make a big difference when staying as a group; BLT 1BRs and 2BRs do not have a balcony outside the living room and BCV does, but the BLT living rooms have almost wall-to-wall and floor-to ceiling windows in the living room that provide fantastic views.

You can walk to both Epcot and Studios from BCV, although the walk to studios is close to a mile. You can walk from BLT to MK, about 1/3 mile. BCV gives you easy access to a lot of restaurant options, both at the Epcot resorts and via the short walk to World Showcase. But BLT has direct access to Contemporary restaurants and monorail to other MK resorts and a boat to WL and Fort Wilderness and its Hoop Dee Doo.
 


If you like both get 200 at one, the one you plan on a family trips and 100 at the other. Bank/borrow to have the points you need. That way you have home resort (11 month) at both resorts.
 
if your doing resale don't buy 300 pts in 1 contract. If you need to sell it will be much harder.
