Booking day by day

[thirtycats]

I am wondering how this works....

I want to go to DW the first week of October 2007. For about 5 nights probably.

We have only 20 points left.

But plan to buy 50 AKV points when they become available.

By the time AKV becomes available, I am afraid everything will be booked for October.

So, I'm thinking (when the time comes) and nothing is available, I'll go the day by day route.

Does member services get annoyed if you do this? Or does everyone do this and they get used to it??

Will I end up with five different reservations?

If AKL comes out in time, I guess I could also go for the 11 month window and have more hope there. I wonder how that will work. What will be the time difference between when the villas are ready and when they start selling ownership?

For example, if they start selling in February....would the villas be ready by October?

What will come first...selling the points or having the villas ready for occupancy?

Note: I don't really care where we stay. I'll be happy in any studio.

You won't be able to use AKL points for anything if the AKL villas are not accepting guests for the same dates you plan to vacation.

FWIW, I don't think AKL points will be on sale before the 7 month window opens for October (which it does in March).

Best wishes -

Oh

I guess we'll have to go with original plan.

Pay cash, stay at value resort, and maybe get the free-dining thing.
