a little of both.

i have stayed at BLT and AKV (in value studios) using my OKW pts. (and that wasn't available at 7 months but required sitting on a waitlist for months.)

but i have tried for reservations in a couple of cases at AKV and BWV and the waitlist never came through. fortunately, i love staying at OKW and am happy staying there if my waitlists don't come through.

some people are pretty lucky and post about how they always get what they want at 7 months out. those people will not be around when you can't get your waitlisted resort...

We bought into the BCV over ten years ago and financed it through Disney. Over the past ten years we have added on to either BCV or SSR directly through DVC again. The add on points we charged to our Disney Chase credit card for the reward system and paid those off over a few short months. We paid off the 10 year DVC loan early and now we have lots of points and can use them for everything Disney and rci exchanges. When I didn't think we could afford it 10 years ago I am so glad that we did. I wish we had bought into DVC when it first became available. We now have our first grandbaby and can't wait to share the magic with her! I think no matter how you purchase points you will not be disappointed and each vacation is always different. Good luck!!
