First DVC purchase underway!

[bashuck]

Very exciting. 150pts at Wilderness Lodge. I am pretty familiar with it as I read a lot about it here and other places. Thanks for that. But what I've read a little about and will just be this one time that is out of my control is it comes with 105 banked points to be used prior to Oct 2015. The soonest I will likely have control of the points to book anything is the end of September. We are sure we are going in Dec of 2015 (and can't use the banked points for that) so ideally can book something in January of 2015. That will mean we would get to the 3 month mark before booking. From other posts it sounds like working in my favor is that mid/late January isn't a peak time for DVC and that I would be fine with either a studio or 1 BR. Against me is the 3 month window. Is it extremely likely that I will be able to get to the studio/1BR for the entire trip (5 nights) or is changing resorts likely in the middle (and if so do they offer a service in helping with that). Thanks for any help. If the selection will be much better we can push is back to as late as March if necessary........but I want to go back sooner rather than later!

On move day:
Call Bell Services and have them come pick-up your luggage and refrigerated items. Be sure to inform them that you have items to keep cold.
Tell them where you are transferring too.
Check-in to your new resort.
Go do whatever you want that day.
After getting your room text and you are back in it (items are not at your new resort until 2 - 4 PM), call Bell Services to have the items delivered to your room.
NOTE: You must be in the room for the pick-up and delivery.
