I am ready to pull the trigger on Bonnet Creek but the rest of my group is not. We are going early June. Right now we have reservations to do a split stay between POR and Beach Club (12 nights total - 7 at POR and 5 at Beach Club). But we may want to switch to Bonnet Creek for the first 7 nights for a variety of reasons. Actually, I am ready to ditch both of them, but one of the families in our group has no choice but to at least do the second half at Beach Club b/c friends of theirs have already booked DVC points there and they want to be together. I know this is complicated to follow - just trying to set the scene for some of my questions.
Some of our group wants to try and hold out for free dining at POR. There are rumors that free dining may be offered at the end of February/beginning of March.
My questions are: Will it be difficult to get units if we wait that long? Are we already too late? And if we're waiting until the beginning of March for a check-in for early June, should we just go ahead and wait until the beginning of April and try for the 60-day mark for the lower rates, or is that just a crazy thing to do for the busy summer season?
My other question is that for my nuclear family, I am considering not even moving to the Beach Club halfway through. It just seems like an enormous hassle to drop off the rental car and move ... especially if we're not on Disney property for the first part of the stay. But our stay will be for 12 nights. Is it difficult to get a stay for one week and then only part of another? All of the ebay listings I see seem to be for week-long stays.
Sorry for all the questions but I have never booked a timeshare like this. I have done vrbo for individual houses, but this time I think we all need our own space and a large house is going to be too much family togetherness. LOL
