My two penneth:
1. Always see people posting buy where you want to stay in response to these posts. That could be poor advice for anyone wanting a 1 bed in DVC off season mid Jan to beginning Sept excluding holidays. Those rooms can easily be booked and it can be an extremely good strategy to buy cheap and save thousands and buy where you don't mind staying. I never have a problem booking any room any category save BLT standard, AKV club and often value 7 months out.
2. The occupation is near 100% year round, but demand is way higher with very early booking required Oct to December. A points reallocation would take the foot of off the gas. Summer points should be lowered.
While this is absolutely true today, many people who buy into DVC should be in it for the long haul... or at least that should be the intention on the outset for buying a timeshare to make sense. So this sound advice comes with a couple of caveats:
1) The more resorts open, the more people will be buying in with exactly this mindset. The more people who buy SSR, the more competition there will be at the 7 month mark.
2) Over time your travel needs change. Suddenly you're interested in F&W or really want to see what the hoopla is with Disney in December.
To point 1), over the last few years, I've seen more and more people commenting on the threads that it's getting more and more challenging to book at 7 months when that was not the case when they first bought their OKW contracts. Some even throwing in the towel to sell a contract and buy where they want to stay.
To point 2), it's important for a traveler to ask themselves that if they had to stay at their home resort, would that be a problem. I would guess for most people, SSR is gret and they wouldn't have a problem. For others who may have had their heart set on BWV, VGF, or AKV, the extra cost may be worth it.
