I will be closing on our resale very soon and am planning our first trip to the world on DVC pts.
Here's my question: I am planning our first trip for June, 2008. I know I still have a little bit of time since I can't reserve until July, but I'm one who really plans ahead, drives my husband crazy. Ok, here I go, I'll have 101 pts banked from '06 and will receive 154 pts Sept, '07. We're talking about doing BCV for 3 nights and VB for 3 nights. I can reserve BCV at 11 months out and VB at 7 months out. I've read that it's a good idea to book at your home resort for the entire stay and go back at 7 months and change your reservation with the non-home resort. I'll have enough pts when I combine the two resorts for my reservation but am short if I reserve the whole reservation at my home resort. If I reserve all nights at BCV will they take the remaining needed pts from '08 even if I won't need the '08 pts when I replace 3 nights with VB. I would rather not borrow '08 pts. Should I reserve all nights except 1 at BCV and then replace 2 nights and add 1 night when I reserve VB? Or should I reserve 3 nights at BCV and then wait till 7 months and reserve 3 nights at VB? How hard is it to reserve BCV and VB for June? Should I reserve day by day or would I be ok reserving all 3 nights at once? Does MS take your pts when you make your reservation?
Hopefully I explained this clearly, I've been trying to figure everything out on my own and haven't come up with the right answer. Thanks to anyone who can help.
