'05 point chart?

[disfountainofyouth]

Has anyone been able to get the point charts to work on the DVC site?
I'm in the preplanning stage for a June '05 Family Reunion.

If not is there another site to check?

The entire month of June is Dream season. You can use the 2004 (or even the 2003) charts. They will be exactly the same.

FWIW, the 2005 charts were printed in the 2004-2005 Vacation Planner recently mailed to all members.

If you don't have access to any charts right now, tell us what resorts and room size you are considering. I'll be happy to look up the points and post them for you.

For example, a 2 bedroom at VWL, BCV or BWV preferred in Dream season is 314 points per week. That's 34 points for each Sunday - Thursday night and 72 points for each Friday or Saturday night.

Best wishes -

Actually June 1-10 is Dream season, while 11-30 is Magic season.

The only time periods that should change their dates each year would be the Premier season in the spring (which should be the week before and after Easter), and the three days surrounding Thanksgiving which are Magic season.

Other than that, the point values should remain the same at each resort unless DVC elects to do a full reallocation at some point in the future.

I would highly recommend Caskbill's DVC Planner program which you can download here:

Bill has DVC resort points listed through the end of the decade.

Trade-in values for the other WDW resorts, Disney Cruises, other Disney properties worldwide and the other DVC "Collections" are negotiated annually and probably will not be available until the Fall.

That's exactly what my new book says. Thanks for the LINK too

There are two programs available: DVC-Chart has point charts through 2054, showing weekday points, weekend points, 5-day totals, 2-day totals, and 7 day totals. It also has major holiday dates for those years and also a feature to enter your own family's special dates and the program will calculate the Nth occurrence each year. (EG Johnny's 7th Birthday)

The DVC-Planner program is much more detailed and allows planning of DVC vacations. It includes calculating points for your actual vacation, comparing points between resorts, calculating booking windows, print out your vacation schedule with T&T/full cleaning dates calculated, check your banking windows, and more. It has point charts/calculations through 2010.

tj, thanks for posting the link. Thought I'd take this opportunity to just add a little more detail about the programs.
