Another USE YEAR Question...

[Budahman]

We are close to buying and it looks like a done deal that on our Arpil 2007 trip we will be buying in. We are excited to 'come home' finally.

We are curious what MONTH YOU PURCHASED your membership into the DVC and what USE YEAR MONTH did you receive.

It seems to not matter if planning is done correctly, but I have read alot that SOME people got to choose their USE YEAR MONTHS, but when we took the DVC tour last week at WDW, we were only given one option.

Thank you in advance.

It all depends on what use year month is being sold at the time. If they have more than one month available, you would have a choice. But normally for a new resort, such as SSr, they sell out all of one month before they start selling the next month. In this case you could only purchase what month was being sold at the time.

If you purchase resale, the use year month would be whatever the previous owner had. You cannot change it.

If purchasing at a sold out resort, through Disney, it all depends on what use year months the contracts were that Disney had acquired. They typically get contracts back through ROFR. If they had more than one use year month available in their inventory, then you possible can have a choice. If purchasing directly from Disney, and purchasing less than 150 points, you MUST get the same use year as your current contract.

I bought in early September 1999 (BWV) and got April. I wanted April because I planned to travel in May and December. At that time, they were selling about 5 months earlier, so I waited until September intentionally (bought over the phone).

budahman--
How was the tour? What did they show you? Are you planning to buy SSR? Were you able to look at other DVC? We are going to take the tour in November and plan to buy later that month. I have read on another post that once you take the tour, you have three days to decide or you loose the incentives? Did they mention anything like that to you? I don't want to take the tour (since we already plan to buy) if it means loosing the incentive after three days. Might as well "skip" the tour--right?

Thanks.

We bought in January and recieved a August UY....this was BWV which was a sold out resort. Plus I didn't have a clue on how UY played a role until after the fact anyway.
