Another 2nd Use Year Question - For Mid April to Mid May Travel

[LavaMama]

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?

I’d guess Feb or March… and maybe April if you think you’ll never go in Feb or March.

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.

We have August for fall/winter travel and February for spring travel.
