We have August UY when we signed up to become DVC owner , and our home resort is Boardwalk . We did not pay much attention about UY but it has been working out good for us . We want to know if we can choose UY when you join DVC . Thank you .
When purchasing from Disney at a resort that is not sold out (such as AKV), Disney is usually selling a particular use year month at a given time and that use year month changes as the year progresses, e.g., it might be offering a September use year when you purchase in January (and thus you get points issued the prior September) but instead October if you purchase in Feb. However, despite what Disney is selling at any given time, you can ask for a different use year and Disney will sell it to you if it is available.
If you are a new purchaser from Disney for an already sold out resort, Disney will usually be selling whatever use year is available as a result of getting points back due to foreclosures or exercise of right of first refussal in resales. In that case whatever they offer to you at the time might be the only use year they have but you can still ask for another and if points from another one are available they will sell that other use year to you.
If you are already an owner and then purchase from Disney a new contract, called an add-on, then the only use year Disney will sell you is one you already have unless you are willing to purchase the required number of points that a new purchaser has to buy in which case it may sell you another use year.
If you purchase in the resale market, you always have the option to buy something from and of several use years but the main issue you often face there is finding exactly what you want in a particular use year (points, resort, status of points, such as many current use year and banked points as opposed to all current use year points being already used)
