More questions on holding points

[jerseyduke]

Sadly, I am going to have to cancel part of(if not all of) a stay and I am within 30 days. (I am actually within 10).

I understand that my points will go into holding.

1. Are they available to use once i cancel my ressie, right then and there? (i.e. can i call MS cancel, and book something within the 60 day mark)

2. Do the points stay in holding until the end of my UY (at which point they expire)?

Is there anything else I need to know?

TIA

They should be available for use immediately.

2. Do the points stay in holding until the end of my UY (at which point they expire)?

Points are returned to the UY in which the reservation was to take place and will expire at the end of that UY if not used.

Holding Account Guidelines from DVCMember.com:

A Holding Account is a "parking space" for vacation points from a Disney Vacation Club Resort reservation that has been modified or cancelled 30 days to 1 day before your check-in date.

The vacation points in your Holding Account can be used for a new reservation booked 60 days or fewer before check-in within the following time constraints.

Use Vacation Points Anytime During Your Use Year for:

• Disney Vacation Club Resorts
• Disneyland Resort in California
• Tokyo Disney Resort
• World Passport Collection

Use Vacation Points More Than 4 Months Before the End of Your Use Year for:

• Disney Collection (except Disneyland Resort in California and Tokyo Disney Resort)
• Concierge Collection

These vacation points cannot be banked or borrowed and must be used by the end of the Use Year or they expire.
