Okay, DW and I have decided to add on, like who hasn't! A little background I own 150 pts VWL and 50 Pt at HHI. Anyway I called my guide and asked about adding on to my HHI contract. His answer was sorry no points available. But I will put you on the wait list. But in the mean time he sent us all the lit. on SSR. I love it and DW likes it, but she loves HHI and I don't really like it all that much. Last night DW and I decided to go ahead with SSR. :) This afternoon I was going to call the guide and tell him to go ahead and write up the SSR contract. But, before I could call him he calls me and say's guess what we now have HHI points if you want them. So here is my delemma, should we go with SSR or go with HHI. :confused: HHI is 84 per point and no MM. I'll get the 03 points right away. SSR I don't have any pounts until 04 but the cost is 89 - 10 mm= 79 ppt. I will be finc this through Disney. So now another part comes in to play With 10% down and the $10 MM I get the 9.75% rate on SSR, also have them for 50 years instaed of the 38 left for HHI. With the HHI with 10 % dn and no MM I get 10.75 % rate. So now the wheels are turning in my mind and for just about $10 more per month then the HH add on, I can get an extra 25 pts at SSR. So what do you think? Down side to SSR would be I would have 3 home resorts verses only 2 with HH. But if I went with the extra 25 points at SSR that means more total points for when we do other things other then Disney. "other then Disney" I know I can't berlieve I said that. But DW said she doesn't want to do WDW every year, can you believe that?;) So the extra points would be handy for things outside of Disney like DCL maybe. Or do you think this would fall under the I don't want to go to WDW every year?:teeth: Sorry for it being so long, but let me know what you think.
 
For us all we would get out of SSR is the extra years and we'll be in mid 80's when 2041 rolls around. As always stated please buy where you like to stay. Since you have HHI and DW loves it would she be willing to have a few points there and have to trade into HHI at the 7mo window with hopes of getting in (I don't know about HHI as I've never try to stay).

Sorry this is all I can give, maybe others can chime in. Good luck on your decision.
 
Have you asked yourself the most important DVC question:

Where do I want to stay the most?

Can you live with SSR? Does she want more time/days for HH vacations?

When would you be going to HH? That 7 month window can be a factor if you try to go at a busy time for HH.

I am not sure what to say here as this sounds like a very personal decision, as are all DVC purchases.

How many points are we talking about here? Are you doing the minimum for SSR which is 150? Would you be going 125 at HH then if you went the HH route?

Personally, I don't know how you can get buy with just 50 points at any resort. If you have more points at HH, that would balance your 2 resort homes nicely.

I wouldn't let the 2 vs 3 home resorts enter the picture, unless you are trying to talk yourself out of SSR.

I guess if it was me ( and I know I am not you) I would go for SSR. Just me, though.
 
Actually 150 is only the minumum for intial DVC purchase add-on's are minimum of 25. So, if I bought HHI I would by 100 but if I go SSR I would get 125 pts. I know 50 doesn't sound like much but it will get us a studio for 6 nites check in on Sun check out Sat morning every other year. But, as for value I'm leaning to SSR. My favorite is VWL which I have 150 pts already. Buying into SSR will give us a little veriaty I think too.
 

I called my guide last week to be put on the waitlist for HHI. We have an April UY. What is the UY you are getting points for?

My guide is trying to sell us SSR as well.

We really like HHI and I would like the 11 month window for and off site resort. Not sure if I want to own at 2 resorts so close together (OKW our home).

The extra years do not really matter to me, because I will be 72 and I think 38 year's of Disney will probably suffice.

I told our guide we would like a tour of the models when we are there next month.
 
Good luck with your decision! We are going to check out the models and make up our mind after that.

Tuff decision!:confused:

You might want to consider SSR since you can get more points by going with SSR, the contract is longer, and it's an on-site resort. You can always book HH for Sun-Thur with your 50 points at 11 month and book any Fri or Sat you need at the 7 month window, even if you have to waitlist for Fri or Sat.
