Confessions of a former DVC owner

[Tinkerbellcrafter]

Welcome back! I would buy AK but just haven't decided if I like it better than WLV. We keep watching for points there We currently own at SSR and have yet to stay there!

If the points are cheaper and the maintenance fees are cheaper at Saratoga Springs, why would you buy AKV? Couldn't you purchase Saratoga Springs for less and tan use them at any resort?

You have a home resort priority reserving time from 8 to 11 months out. After that time, you may find that the resort you really wanted to stay at was already booked. If you owned at SSR that is what you can book during the priority time, and then at 7 months out try to change to a different resort. You may find that you are locked out of the exact type of room you want. For instance all Savannah View 2 bedroom may be gone by the time you can book. Sometimes even members who own at a resort find themselves on a waiting list within the "home resort booking" time frame.

Just as Bobbi mentioned, we are going for AKV because of concierge's availability, I don't think rooms are going to be available 7 months out.

Also believe SSR will be easier to get into cept maybe major holidays.

Is there any way a non owner can get one of those books? Is there a number I can call or something?
