I'm relatively new to DVC. We purchased our first contract, August UY, last year. When we bought, our plan was only for fall travel. Earlier this year we took a trip in April and now we would like to plan for April/May travel as well. Our current 3/31 banking deadline makes that risky if our plans change so after originally being convinced we would only ever have one UY, we are now considering a second UY. What use year do you recommend for mid April to mid May stays?
 
We originally had a December UY and it was great for our December and Spring trips but then we fell in love with October in WDW and ended up purchasing April UY points. I feel like our combo takes us through the whole year pretty well.
 
Not a fan of multiple UY’s but if going to add points to alternate trips, feeling safer about cancellations, it would be February. The 6 month match to your August. (Or pick closest to that apart).

I’ve noticed the 4 UY’s that don’t exist match up to this 6 month system as well. I have April. Its sibling match would be October.
 

Also keep in mind April is still ok with your August UY. Cancelling at the 31+ days to avoid holding, still falls within your banking window. (December trips I love taking still works for my April UY). It’s those May-July ones you book that have most emergency risk factor.
