Help/advice dvc world passport collection?

[MrsJobba1]

Hi,
I wonder if anyone could help me get things right in my head. DH and myself have been members for 6 yrs we currently have 250 points. We are just about to add on 120 points giving us a grand total of 370 points per year.

Our use year is March. One of the main reasons we are adding on is that we would like to use the world passport collection.

We always go for 2 week holidays.

We are considering going to Las Vegas next Aug (06) Do you think we will be able to do it?
How exactly does it work?
What are your experiences of using world passport collection?
When would we be able to book it?
Where have you been - reviews?
I really hope someone can help me, I know I have asked a lot but your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
aw:

Hi,
We used the WPC for our trip to Palm Desert California in June this year. We were lucky as we managed to secure an exchange with my first call to member services and stayed at a Marriott resort which was excellent. If your looking for an exchange using II you can make your request any where between 2 years and 2 weeks. The only thing i would say about Las Vegas exchanges is that you may get a better deal paying cash for a hotel room as the rates are so good especially if you use a firm such as Expedia. We stayed at the Bellagio before going to Palm desert and paid less than £80 a night for what is arguably the best hotel on the Strip. If you go on the members website you can check out the different places you can exchange to if you decide to go for it. Don't forget there's also a $75 fee to exchange.
Give me a shout if you have any other questions.

Mick.

Our guide told us not to use the exchange for Las Vegas. Apparently the resorts are not on the strip. Having been to Las Vegas before I would recommend staying on the strip.

We wanted to exchange anywhere in the UK for February half term and they matched us immedately with a resort in Devon.

Let us know what you decide and how you get on.

Thanks for your advice we were also concerned that the hotels were not on the strip.

Thanks

Hi,
Yes thats right Interval International is one of the organisations Disney use to exchange through. I would say the sooner the better if you want to go for an exchange. Let us know what you decide.
