I'm getting confused...

I am so easily confused about things! Please clarify something for me.

We are planning to travel to Disney October 1-7, 2008. The 7 month booking window for that trip will open up on March 1, 2008. That's within our 2007 use year (April). If we book the trip in March, do we need to bank our 2007 points into 2008 to be able to book the trip since it's in the 2008 UY, or will we be using the 2007 points IN 2007 since we're making the ressie within the 2007 use year?

Does my question even make sense? I'm not sure how else to phrase it. It won't really affect us if we bank in 2008 UNLESS, since we're booking within the 2007 UY, we would have to borrow those points (which of course we can't do since we'd banked them in, but I know we could borrow 2008 points - just would prefer to avoid that whole confusion if we can).

Thanks!

For an April use year, 2007 points could be used for a trip without doing anything from April 1, 2007 until March 31, 2008. If you'd like to use your 2007 points in October of '08, you will have to bank them first and tell the CM at MS that you want to use your banked points when you make the reservation in March '08.

By the time you are ready to book the trip in March, it will be too late to bank the points. Since the old rules still apply to you (and all of us until January), you will need to bank all of your points by the end of this month (September 2007).

Okay - thanks! I'll make sure we bank these, probably tomorrow.

You only look at the use year that applies to your dates of stay, not when you make the reservation. Date of reservation does not come into play.
