I think I know the answer to these two quick questions, but I want to make sure.

1) Each use year allows me to borrow next year's points. So if I buy points at a resort that expires in 2059 then I can borrow each year's points but "run out" in 2058?

2) Does DVC membership allow one to "pool hop"?

there's no telling what will happen at the end dates of the contracts. they may restrict banking and borrowing at that point. keep an eye on the 2042 resorts to see what happens there.

if they don't restrict borrowing, that could work, though. for OKW-2042, my last pts will theoretically come on oct 2041. under current rules, i could borrow those into my 2040 UY and be out of pts before the end of calendar year 2040.

2) Does DVC membership allow one to "pool hop"?

subject to limitations, yes.

guests of that resort are always primary, so if the pool is busy, then no hopping. naturally there are busier times of year that are already blacked out and busier pools (like BCV, BLT, AKV and AoA) that are restricted to guests only.

or more formally:

Pool Hopping Information

Disney changes the rules from time to time so pool hopping could go away.

Hope you around for this to be a potential issue...

Keep in mind that every year you borrow you will have less points to start with the next year. So if you borrow every year, you will likely run out before 2058.
