We own at VWL, BCV and HH. We have been talking (just talking/speculating) about adding on at VB. I was wondering how many DVCers own both HH and VB? Also, how many DVCers have more than 3 home resorts? I like the off-sites for vacationing at during holiday times, when WDW is packed.
 
I started in '94 with points at OKW and then several add-ons there. I next bought a new contract at BWV in '99. Then I added points at HH, and most recently at VB. Contemplating doing an add on at BWV since new points have been released. I like having the 11 month window at all 4. I have OKW and HH with April use year and BW and VB with August use year.
 
I do - I own at OKW, BCV, HH & Vero. I tend to stay at all of them each year, but sometimes use points at a different resort (or for cruising). I enjoy the 11 month window, and try to keep enough points to book my trips to each resort at the 11 month window without borrowing from the next year. I've got 580 OKW, 210 HH (enough to cover the grand villa 5 nights in March), 160 Vero (enough for 3 nights in Beach Cottage if I want to do that) & 100 BCV, with plans to add more BCV before they sell out.
 
We have OKW and VB as our home resorts but............2 brothers of mine have HH as there home resort.So if the family is going to HH (GV's) we have the ability to transfer our points to each other.
 

I own BWV(150), VWL(50), HH(50) and VB(50). Originally purchased BWV and VB to stay disney and the beach. Added a HH through resale after a winter visit there (had to have it :)) and being unable to return during summer, then visited VWL and it became our FAVORITE resort, so we decided we would need the 11 month window as it is soooo small.. So we waitlisted and it came through.... It is SOMEWHAT of a problem since I never have enough points to 11 month book a full prime week in a 2 br, but we usually book studios anyway. Our strategy is to book at 11 months every third year a week in HH, and a week in VB... The VWL points are pretty much there if we want them. And we use BMV to book annual stays, cruises, Interval, etc... If someone was to ask me if it's the right way..... NOPE.... Probably not, but hey everyone has diferent needs. As for buying HH, unless you need to visit during summer period, you can usually book at 7 months with NO PROBLEM... Summer is dificult though... Espescially July 4.

Actually I re-read your post and you were talking about VB. I have stayed pretty prime periods in VB with little advance warning (spring break, summer). Maybe lucky? Or maybe the demand is a little more spread out for the 11 month bookers? I don't know that I would add on there unless you find yourself shut out for times you want to go, or need the points anyway...

I own at:

OKW - 270 points
Vero Beach - 200 points
Boardwalk Villas - 200 points
Beach Club Villas - 100 points

I like the variety of choices for 11 month booking opportunities. I also will choose to use some points for Disney Cruises as well. Two of my resorts are an October use year and two are a June use year. No trouble keeping track but I do call MS occasionally to double check on what I have used, banked, borrowed, etc, LOL!!
