Borrowed to the hilt!

[FreeTime]

Now I have gone and done it! We decided to take a spur of the moment trip and we are going to BCV in a few weeks and we borrowed the rest of our 2003 points (140). That being said I had to borrow 2004 points to keep our September reservation. It seems that the more points that we have the more we need! If only we hadn't purchased the AP's which have forced us to go 5 times this year, including weekend nights. So what do you do when you borrow beyond your means?

No question about it! You obviously need to buy more points...

Those durn APs are sure trouble makers, aren't they?

At least you won't have to worry about missing the banking deadline......

Skip a year and catch up!

Take a different vacation next year (gasp!) and skip Disney and allow your points to catch back up! Spend the money that you had set aside for AP's to take a nice cruise, or other vacation!!

AP's save money on admission but double the cost of add-ons! LOL . Don't buy AP's for another full year and then do the same thing with maxing your points--OR--just buy more points!

Well, duh! I think the answer is obvious--you need to add more points! That's how I ended up with 700 points, and am on the list for another 100 point add-on-- I, too, am borrowed to the hilt, but ain;t it fun?

When I run out of points to borrow, I add-on! Done it twice already, and am on a waitlist to do it again at HH! I am getting a little anxious, though, as I hate being without points!

yes - I have went so many times last year - that I am trying to not go this year - say before I booked my birthday trip - well I had points in holding I just had to use - yea right!

I am going to try and branch out - this year - I already have plans for Williamburg and PCB. and since I only get 4 weeks vacation.

You could always rent some points.....but then you would need another AP and the vicious cycle will never end.

Try to get a code & stay in another resort for the weekend nights to save some points.

It's a good way to experience other resorts also!
