Hi! Brand new owner at BWV here, with a small contract (Sept UY).
Likely making a trip to WDW Nov. 2017 (not 100% certain--may push it to spring 2018).
Of course, std studios all taken at the crack of dawn for our stay. Garden/pool view studio is available.
My question is, since we have a small contract (74 points currently available), and the verbiage on the waitlist has a thing to check about borrowing points: Suppose we reserved the G/P view studio (61 points) and waitlisted the same dates for the std view (44) points-- If the waitlist comes through, do they just switch it to the waitlisted reservation and the extra 17 points goes back into our UY? Or do they take the 44 points first (which would require borrowing) and then later put the 61 points back?
I don't want to set myself up for a situation where points get borrowed from the next use year, since we'll prob take a breather and bank/borrow some for a bigger stay in 2019ish.
Hope that makes sense... so new, and I am not sure if I am wording this accurately.
Complicating the decision is that 1) of course the boardwalk is popular in November (why we chose it for home resort); 2) we may well switch to a studio on one of the monorail resorts at the 7 month mark, if available, since the real reason for the trip is a conference at GF to which I haven't 100% committed. I just don't want to end up getting closer to November and having no room at all, should we decide to go.
