    How long did you wait for first trip home?

    We bought a resale sight-unseen in July 2001 and added on in February 2002 . (That add-on I blame entirely on the enthusiastic DIS board, by the way!!!) So we have 350 points at BWV and we are making our first trip home, with the entire family, this September. We have a two bedroom standard...

    Number of units

    So, if Boardwalk has 383 unit and 7 are grand villas, does that mean that there are 376 2 bedroom units (each of which could turn into a studio and a 1-bedroom if split)?

    Number of units

    Where can I find information about how many units are in each DVC location? Is there a list someplace that details how many villas, 2-bedroom units, etc. Thanks for any responses.

    Exception to the "Can always make res at home resort 11 mos ahead of check out" rule

    I think the confusion is thinking of use years as calendar year (starting in january) instead of a 12 month period starting with your use month. With a December use year and assuming banking and borrowing availability, point would be available as follows: DEcember 2001 points: 12/00 thru 11/03...

    How responsive is your guide???

    Last summer I started looking into DVC. I was a "referral" and one of the guides was supposed to call me. He didn't and two weeks later I called DVC and was told "my guide's" name and that he would call me. Three days later (still no call) I called him. He returned my call two days after...

    Timeshare Store Issues

    I too used Shontell for both of my resales. She "is no longer with the company" midway through my second resale, but I have had no problems. Every time I've called I've talked to a helpful person and things appear to be going well. Mailed the final paperwork yesterday. pal

    New Baby @ OKW

    We're doing our first DVC trip in September. We'll have a 4 year old, a 2 1/2 year old, a 22 month old, and a 6 week old baby. We'll also have their parents (DSs and very DDs-I-L). We know that the kids are little for Disney, but this is just their first of many, many trips. That's the...

    Decision Makers

    We've just recently bought in. We are grandparents who took, when we were younger, their kids ~every 3 years to WDW. Our last trip was in 1992 for our last "nuclear family" vacation. Now we have 3 1/2 grandkids and DVC is our guarantee of extended family vacations. We worked the numbers and...

    How long before you want more points?

    We bought a resale in July and are in the process of our second resale. And we still haven't even seen any of the DVC properties. This board is very persuasive. pal

    2 contracts

    Thanks for all the useful information. It's really good to know that if I transfer points for a specific reservation I will still have the opportunity to transfer again later in the same year. Now I'll return to my usual "lurker" mode. pal
