@UA DVC Member - I would book the six nights now, and then at the 7 month mark (for the reservation, not for that 7th night)-- just modify the reservation and use the VGF points. The SSR contracts will be locked but you'll be able to select the VGF contracts for the 7th night. Otherwise...

Don't we all! Any questions regarding UY usage I always need to read at least twice.

See my previous post-- posted simultaneously when you posted. Reprased another way: DVC reservations are made with points that you will have on the day of check in. They are not made with points that you have on the day you made the reservation. So, if you theoretically wanted to make a...

@JeffCD - PP is incorrect as they may have misunderstood your question. In January 2025, you would have 53 points available under the Sep24 UY. If you are looking to use them for a trip in November of 2025, these 53 points would need to be banked by Apr 30, 2025 into the Sep25 UY. For any...

To expand on what the PP said, the Disney Collection is anything Disney branded that is not a DVC resort. Domestic and international Disney hotels, DCL, ABD.

Not as close as you think. Still plenty of undeclared units. ___ Years on the boards have shown; it doesn't matter what DVC raises the DVC-Y minimum to-- FOMO will always win out and get the direct purchase. #Team25ptHybrid Congrats to all.

It would be very hard to sell because an annual trip to Japan is unreasonable for the average consumer. Even a trip every 3 years with banking and borrowing is unreasonable. Japanese nationals wouldn't buy it either, as we've seen with DVC and Aulani. Speaking of which... does anyone know if...

I don't disagree with you and acknowledge that it can happen. It's very very uncommon. I have no objections to the current system not allowing said modifications.

I'm not sure why anyone expects to be able to modify a WDW reservation to AUL or DLR in the first place. They are completely different locales. Typical vacation planning is to a specific location, not to "anywhere." In regards to HHI and VB, with the amount of people driving down to WDW from...

That is correct. And as the PP mentioned, December UYs are probably the most confusing. However they do hold one advantage over all other UYs: the ability to buy add-on direct points later in the calendar year (i.e. Nov, before Dec 1), receive current UY points for free (often referred to as...

You are correct to all. When you borrow from UY25 to UY24, that transaction is final and those points cannot be banked back to UY25 or borrowed further to UY23. If you cancel the January '25 reservation, those points are then available for any reservation up until end of Nov '25. Do not...

Good luck with the search! Shouldn't be too hard. Earlier this month I had my first stay in a refurbed SSR 2 bedroom and we absolutely loved it. We also played 2 rounds at LBV, so another +1 for that convenience. Funny how quick things can change; OKW will always have a place in my heart but...

Assuming they are all the same UY, why not modify and extend the 7-8 night reservation to include the non resort points when the [7 month+7 day] window opens for each of those days?

Let's not forget last summer while everyone was buying VGF for ~$161 after MB, OKW was also on offer for ~$151 after MB. Maybe if there was a $130/pt fire sale like Aulani a few years back I'd consider a direct OKW, but when the newest offering is CFW, I have no problem sticking with OKW resale...

Having a front desk or a DVC CM scan your magic band and pull up your DVC/MDE account details is fully acceptable. But to give that same access (even just granting them limited info) to every CM at every point of sale register at every park and resort store is an IT nightmare. In the end, it's...

@ClaraOswald : That pie chart is over 10 years old. Though good for a ballpark reference, it is outdated. For years now DVC/DVD has been able to reassign UYs for points bought back in ROFR. The fact that you started this discussion is a good sign that you will most likely combine points in the...

IIRC, yes you can do that. My recommendation, and this is for all Moonlight Magic events, is to use ALL your vouchers EARLY. If you wait until the later hours of the event, everyone will be trying to redeem their vouchers and the lines get ridiculously long.

Typhoon Lagoon events: stations to pick up popcorn, apple slices, mickey/fruit bars, bottles of water. Cups by soda dispensers for free soda. WDW main parks: you are given snack vouchers to be redeemed at designated existing snack locations. Used for bottled drinks or snacks (roughly anything...

Purchased two sometime before the new year, didn't try again. Purchased two 6 days ago, no issues. Tried to purchase two more today, and was canceled. Somewhat related, but I always take advantage of the 14% off Southwest gift card deal ($429 for $500 value gift card). After I complete a...

April 4, 2016. Any contract purchased (including pending resales already submitted to DVC for ROFR) prior to this date are grandfathered in for Membership Extras. February 25, 2018. Minimum raised to 75. @Lost boy : My vacation and booking patterns are very similar to yours! About a 3rd of...
