Just got back from our first time as owners. We stayed first at the Boardwalk, with few problems, but a really yucky view (this was booked 11 months in advance with a request for a specific view and to be near friends staying there also). Our requests were not granted.
We then moved to th Beach Club Villas, where we had also booked 11 months in advance. Once again our requests for view and to be near friends was not granted. Lets not even discuss the wait to check in!!!!!!
When they said 4pm, they weren't budging, (I tried to check in at 7:30am) even if thhe room was completed. They would not hand out room #'s until 5 minutes before 4pm! And what is with those closets in the 2 bedroom villa master bedroom side? They are about 2 feet wide!
Not only was I not impressed with the operation, I am now sorry I bought points as they are turning out to be a bigger hassle than they are worth, what with needing to book so far in advance, never knowing the room your getting, and possibly loosig points if they are not banked at the right time!
So my impression is, if I book 11 moths out, then I can probably expect to get a lousy view and not have any of my requests met.
