Need calculator to plan trip

[rickdeni]

I have a new computer and did not transfer my "Bookmarks". The only time I ever made reservations for VWL 11 months out I used an online calculator wherein I put the dates I wanted to stay and it told me when I had to call for the reservation. Please help!

go to dvcmember.com and use the points calculator there.

I guess I didn't make my question clear. I know how many points I need which is the calculator on the DVC page. What I need to know is the date that I can call DVC to make a reservation for my October 2007 trip.

If your vacation is at your home resort, then you can call 11-months prior to the vacation's checkout date. For example if your checkout date for an October vacation would be Oct 20th (last night being Oct 19th), then you would call Nov 20th, 2006 which is 11 months ahead. If it's a non home resort you would call Mar 20th, 2007. If any of the dates you would call fall on a weekend or holiday then you call on the following day.

You might also want to download my free DVC-Planner program. You'll find a link in the signature below.

It will tell you what dates to call for any reservation you have. It even adjusts for weekends and holidays, and will also provide day-by-day call dates for either an 11-month or 7-month window.

rickdeni- Caskbills planning tool works great.
I use it all the time to plan my (in my dreams, 'cause I don't have that many points) dream vacations.
