We are trying to rent points for a 2 bed at AKL possibly for June. We did this once before at OKW. As a total AKL newbie I don't know if we need to pay more for SV or what building to request. So by dedicated 2 bed that refers to 2 queens in the second bed as opposed to a 1-bed attached to a...

Okay...I was under the impression buying direct I could only buy AK and BLT. Is that not true or when you talk about buying more at OKW are you talking about buying them resale? With the extended date at OKW does that mean DVC is selling more OKW? I agree that with their low point values it...

BTW...where do you have points now?

My research showed that dues at VB were 6.04/pt and 5.04/pt at BWV. But don't quote me on that.

Okay..I spent an hour on the phone with a guide yesterday and was only told of the 160 point minimum, not any 100 point incentive. What resort would that be? I don't need a lot of points because we are bi-annual travelers but I hate knowing you only get as much info as they want to give you...

How important is having the 11 month window on your home resort if you don't go at Christmas or Easter? For instance if you buy SSR but want to stay at BWV in March, if you book in the 7 month window are you likely to get your reservation for a 2 bedroom? Do those go the quickest?

I'm not giving up Brian! I'm thinking of renting points to stay at a DVC property in March and see if he changes his mind. We haven't stayed on property for a few years now and he may be forgetting it has a lot of advantages.

I grew up going to Disney once a year and Great America (now SF) in north Chicago. I don't think it was that bad back then but a recent trip to a SF park was shocking. We expected the lines but when you are one of 50 people waiting to buy a hot dog and soda, there are four employees behind the...

I have been trying to talk my husband into DVC and his reply was that he'd rather buy something else (like Hyatt) because he doesn't really care about staying on property at Disney. The rest of the family cares of course. How does Hyatt measure up cost wise? Maintenance fees? I understand I...

My husband didn't grow up going to WDW the way I did so he's a convert. He's HUGE on customer service and that is what sells him on Disney. Try going to Six Flags or anywhere else for the day and you can instantly see why Disney is successful. If they start cutting too many corners so lines...

So about the resale thing...do you feel bad that you only have 30 some years left when if you bought at AK you would have closer to 50? I guess it helps a lot to get it cheaper in the first place and we are pushing 40 so I think the 37 years is about right. How about which properties are best...

I am also in the process of 1) talking to DVC about buying at AK 2) Looking into resales at BWV, BC, OKW, etc. 3) Looking at renting points because we are going in March and it's pretty much too late for me to get either #1 or #2 done in time. For other newbies though, it's worth noting that if...

I need between 150-200 points depending on what properties are available. But I definitely need a 2 bedroom from 3/15 checking out 3/20 or 3/21 if we get a good deal together. I prefer the BWV but am flexible on location. Let me know if you have any left.

Let me know if you have any left. I can't PM because I just got started today and haven't posted ten times. But I am completely trustworthy...I promise.

Hello, I'd like to rent a 2bedroom for 3/15-3/20 and I like the EPCOT area a ton and BWV takes less points than BC, hence my preference. IF BWV is not available I would consider others that are available but dates are firm. We've always rented homes off property (since we gave up on...
