Welcome Home.

Enjoy your points, enjoy your vacations.

Don't forget to bank your points so you don't lose them.

Even if you don't get the exact room you wanted, a villa at Disney beats staying at home any day.

Pay attention to your 11 month and 7 month windows and when your banking deadline is, other than that enjoy!

We have found we have become much more laid-back on our trips. You know you'll be returning with regularity so you don't have the urgency to do everything every trip. Staying in 1 BDR and 2 BDR especially gives you the extra room to relax and you'll probably be spending more time in the room now that you are a DVC member. Boardwalk is an excellent Resort with one of the best locations on property, Welcome Home!

I know.... stupid question, but what is the 7 and 11 month window?

You can make reservations at your home resort (where you own your points) at 11 months prior. Other resorts are 7 months.

I own at BWV. So I could call tomorrow for a stay starting 8-22-11. Other resorts I could call for 4-22-11.

Enjoy your membership - we love DVC and have a number of great vacations already.

Make sure to understand the banking rules (pretty simple) - you want to avoid losing points.

That's about it really for me, know the rules and be prepared to have some great vacations!

Congrats

If you book studios, bring along an over the door fabric shoe holder. It's great for organizing sunblock, cosmetics, and all the things you unpack from your Owner's Locker.

Make your dining reservations early!
