This is so awesome!!!!!!! Thank you. I don't know if anyone else has asked, or I just missed it. Is there a chart for Hilton Head or Vero Beach?

Thank you.

I did not prep the same charts form HH or VB.

Do you have or are you working on 1 bedroom VGF?

As I said in my first post - I have no plans on expanding this further - there was a LOT of effort involved, and unfortunately I think the new system has made doing this even more difficult.

At some point - I may revisit this with including the Poly and also the new SSR point structure, but both those things are too fluid right now - probably in a few years. At that time, I may expand to include all the 1 bedrooms. But not now.

Thank you for putting the time into this. I am currently considering buying into DVC and this is a very helpful tool in helping to decide which one to make our home resort.

Brilliant Thread by the way - so helpful

Allow me to add to the sentiment already echoed on here. Thank you for putting in the time and effort to help us all. Much appreciated.

I know I'm brining up an old post but wow, thank you!!!! This is just awesome!! So much work you did here..mbut it really gave me great insight

Just wanted to make mention that they just declared another bunch of Poly Studios. As I've said previously, until the Poly availability levels out, there isn't really any point in me doing the Poly Studios for at least another year. The change to SSR point system makes me think I may have to do that as well. (My prediction is the "preferred" rooms will become the ones most available at the latest mark.) So - another year or so I might start this all over again. Of course it took an entire year to do the first time...

Let me know if you want some help with this skier_pete.. I can spend some time helping acquire data..

This is great! Thanks for your hard work.
I'm hoping to be able to switch at 7 months to a resort other than SSR for the second week of December (tough but hopeful). I did book SSR at 11 months just in case there isn't anything.

Thank you for all your hard work!!

Love seeing the data! Thanks! Also, love that I've beaten the odds on some of them.

Got not one but two standard studios at BWV the first week in May last year at seven months and one BCV studio same time frame in May at seven months last year. This year got a value studio at AKL the first week in April at AKL and a standard view studio at VGF also in April. So, basically don't lose hope at the seven month window!

Outstanding reporting of the data! The information is not only interesting but a helpful tool as well. :thanks:

constantstar · Apr 8, 2016

Wow, this is awesome. As someone deep in the DVC research phase, this is like finding gold! I really want to stay at Wilderness Lodge but I was concerned it would never happen since I'm not buying there. But, it looks possible! I can be flexible with dates so this makes me happy. THANK YOU for all the time you put in to this!

Appreciate all the work---it's really invaluable. I think you're probably right about SSR. Same thing happened with treehouses---they were hard to get until they rebalanced the points, and now they're pretty easy. I honestly don't understand why they haven't built other resorts with a small 3BR plan---they're great for our family and I would think a lot with either boys & girls or kids + grandparents, etc who don't need a GV.

Personally I don't think re-doing SSR would be so useful compared to someone doing Aulani (just picking some random classes, I guess), but I don't think you owe anyone the obligation of doing either one

No - doing Aulani or the Poly or SSR would really be for the same selfish reasons that I did these to begin with. It's the sharing of them that is the only un-selfish part.
