I know all these questions have been asked before, so I am sorry for asking again. We (me more than DH) are thinking about buying resale DVC. We would like OKW(extended),SSR, or AKV because of the end date. We have gone to Disney every year for the last three years, and are planning a trip for this Nov. We really enjoy Nov or early December for the weather and the christmans decorations. We currently live 9 hours away, so we drive. We are moving, and it will then require a plane ride. We have two boys, (4.5 & 3), and they love all things Disney.
I saw a contract for UY December that had 6 points from 2012. When would those 6 points expire? Could I use them for November? So if our UY is Dec, does that mean if I want to book at my home resort for Nov 13, I could have done it Dec 12? And if I want to book anywhere else for Nov 13, I can do it in April?
If we don't care where stay or if we wanted to check out all the resorts, can we book one night at 5 different resorts (if staying 5 nights and understand only DVC resorts)? Will Disney move our luggage? If there are only 6 points left from 2012, I can borrow from the points I would get Dec 13, for Nov 13, correct? Do I have to borrow them all, or could I borrow just 40?
What happens if you borrow points? Can you put them back? How long do you have to use the borrow points? Is it one year from the day you borrow them? When do you have to bank points by? If we want to go ever 3 years and have a UY Dec, when would I want to bank and borrow?
I know it is now different for resale, but where else besides the DVC resorts can I use my points? Can I use them for a one night stay somewhere? Lets say I was going to Italy, could I use them for a two night stay in Rome? Where do you look for those hotels, RCI? How do you know how many points it will take? I have only seen a chart for a whole week with RCI.
Do you get a parking pass for the parks like you do when you stay at other WDW resorts?
Sorry for all the questions, but I am trying to make sure this is a good fit for our family. We are concerned that there will be an age that our kids will not be that interested in going or will be in college and have there own things going on, that we will not know what to do with our points. And we will be waiting for the grandkids
