Here's the details....
Feb UY, 100 points
All 2008 points banked
99 points used for friend's reservation 3-1-09 (wedding present!)
95 points used for our reservation 6-6-09
6 points to bank into 2010
HAD planned on a 2BR standard 4/4-4/9/2010
WAS 205 points so planned to borrow 99 from 2011
Since DVC reallocated, here's what I did....
**DIDN'T cancel friend's reservation**
**DIDN'T cancel our June vacation**
**DIDN'T add any points to my account**
We will get 2 standard studios for our first 2 nights (Sunday and Monday) which will cost 68 points. We'll stay at Jambo for these 2 nights and have the pool view. Since we're in studios, I am thinking we might add a dining plan and get some of our preferred TS meals out of the way.
Then, for the last 3 nights (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday), we'll move into a standard 2BR at Kidani for 138 points. We'll be able to take advantage of the washer and dryer at that point and we can cook a few meals in our kitchen. We'll also get to check out the new building and pool area. Mom and Dad will get to see all of AKV on one trip.
Our total point usage will be 206 points....the EXACT amount that we will have available
!
Although I am not really thrilled with the abrupt changes that I had to make in my plans, I am satisfied with the way it is working out so far. This vacation will allow my parents to experience a lot of firsts...their first use of a dining plan (and therefore table service meals!), their first stay at AKV and their first vacation with their grandchildren. Hopefully, I don't have any more "surprises" or "enhancements" to look forward to!
