[tsmith777]

I am new to this - so hopefully in the correct spot. Does anyone have any good places to suggest to go with the Disney World Passport Collection - i guess via Interval International???? I have 400 points to use...

Didn't see this one until today. As most know I don't feel the DVC II exchange system is a good value overall. However there are some resorts and times that are are good value IF you can get them. It generally requires looking a full year out or more but it never hurts to try. I'll concentrate on the US, MX and Caribbean as that's really what I know best. It also depends on when you can go and what type of experience you would like to have. I'd say that most of the Marriott's are good option for certain times, Most Westin properties likewise, the 2 Four Seasons, St. James Place, The Royals in Cancun, Reef Resort and Grand Caymanian, Paradise Village (Puerto Vallarta), a couple of the Sanibel/Captiva options, The 2 resorts in Charleston, some of the Worldmark/Wyndham properties in II and a few of the Bluegreen resorts all come to mind. For 400 points I'd likely do a 1 BR and a 2 BR HIGH season (430 total). If you can't go over but can go under, I'd likely do a 2 BR HIGH season only or two 1 BR if the resorts that interest you have 1 BR.

I think the thing to do is investigate enough that you know what you'd doing and what you're getting. It doesn't matter what I like or what would fit my needs, but rather what you will see as valuable and will make you happy. Just don't assume that because it's on the DVC list that all is OK and you should take it. Among those I mentioned, I'd have my favorites. But rather than settle in this area you might be better off renting your points.
