I've been stalking the pages for awhile now and the one piece of advice I keep seeing is to "buy where you like staying." I get the advice, but this appears to only matter if you know when you're going with lots of advance planning. My wife and I have 1 large window (summer) to go, but aren't always sure where we are going on vacation until March/April.
If we are planning on using DVC points 3-5 months out, how important is home resort, because you're not guaranteed to stay there except at 11 months, right? Certainly there will be some times when we'll know earlier, but more often than not we wait to make vacation plans. When we have kids, it'll still be the same time frame and we may want to use a Disney trip from 11 months out as an incentive for school/behavior but I just don't see the importance of a home resort if we are the type to not always plan out the when until 5/6 months out. Can someone help me out with this/
