Interesting chat with my guide

Not sure I would use the term "lesser resorts" or even "lessor requested resorts" (sic). They are the three largest resorts, so it is not surprising that they would have more availability. We don't own at SSR, but loved our stay there. We do own AKV and always love our stays there. This summer we will be staying at OKW for the first time and I can't wait as I have wanted to stay there since before we bought in. Of course I look forward to staying at BLT, BCV, BWV, and GFV someday too.

Demand is the largest factor in availability, size is only a small component. The % of owners that are looking to use their points elsewhere is much higher than certain other resorts, that's esp true for SSR. What the size does when coupled with the lower demand is to overwhelm the 7 month window at the higher demand resorts.

I'm not sure the formula but it would be based on an a villa ready for occupancy, not the entire resort. However, they'd only be able to sell points into any such units that met the occupancy criteria and had been declared into the project.

I have a feeling that if VGF is going to be $160.00 PP my DH will shoot down my add on idea...
