Eeks, should I borrow?

[Coach Rick]

I am getting myself in waay too much trouble lately. Ok, we are going in March for softball spring training. Originally we were going to stay with the team at AS..Sports (it's a family show, that's why I spelled it out )

But gave in to the temptation, and are staying at SSR for the first two nights, and BWV for the last three. Problem is now when I go back in August with the rest of the family I will need to borrow most of next years points to do so. Already I am going through withdrawls for 06 knowing I will not have any points, unless I borrow from 07..and so begins the cycle. We bought 130 more points last year to satisfy the need, but with 305 points now, it's just NOT enough. Mind you I was one that origianally said I would never go every year...that lasted long. One way to save on points would be so pay cash and try AKL Concierge. Sounds neat anyway, and it would save 144 points. What say ye experts of the ways of DVC intelligence? Help, I'm going down fast.

Just call and purchase an add on that will fix the problem LOL.

If you don't want to borrow your points from next year (since you'll likely want them for next year) consider renting some from another member. There are many offering points for rent and will transfer them to your account. You can usually get a decent deal especially if you are transferring and not actually renting (non-DVC member).

10 bucks a point is cheaper than conciege cash............

Another thought might be to pay cash fro those high points weekend nights, if you have not already done so. And if you can snag the 25% DVC discount on some of those nights, even better. In use-years 04 and 05 we have stayed or will be staying 25 nights in Disney resorts, but of those 5 are weekend nights on DVC discount and another 2 are at AKL on AP rates, leaving us to maximize the power of our points on the 18 weeknights.
