What season do most DVC owners use their points for? The slower or more crowded times for the parks?

We happen to enjoy the less crowded atmosphere, will we have a problem securing ressies during that time at DVC if we didn't want to use our 'home' resort?

I have a million more questions, but thought I'd shoot em at ya one at a time! :)
 
hi: a fair amount of people use their points during the dvc seasons that cost the lower point amounts. the dvc seasons don't correspond directly with the regular resort seasons. if you definitely want to stay at a dvc resort in wdw during a specific time frame, make the ressies at your "home" resort at the 11 month mark, and then switch them over to whichever other resort you'd like at the 7 month mark. this seems to work out rather well.
 
I think the season DVCers use depends on issues like if they have kids and what age, what kind of job are 2 factors. My DW does taxes so we will not be going between Jan 1 and April 15. We are empty nesters so it is not likely we will go during the summer months, too hot for us. Whenever we have grandkids that may change some but not in the near future. I know Dec seems to be a time DVC is used alot. Starting with the week after Thanksgiving unti about Christmas week is low points, great weather and very festive. Christmas is busy. I assume other holidays are too. We just joined in May. I know trying to get throught to MS for early Dec meant long time on hold and sometimes lots of busy signals. Like wdwnut suggests getting home resort at 11 months then trying for somewhere else at 7 months works. If you get somewhere else you cancel your home resort. MS is use to this. I have found ask any questions here and you will get an answer.
 
Thank you all.
You've cleared up another question on my 'list'. :)

More to come :)
