We are considering buying some points. I was thinking about 150 points since, we live on the West Coast and I don't think we'll make it to Orlando every year. Is that a good idea or bad idea? My understanding is you can use up to 300% of your points within one year.
I was thinking of either buying at Wilderness Lodge Villas or the Beach Boardwalk Villas. I axed OKW because it isn't close to any theme parks (is that right? none are within walking distance). When we have stayed at WDW we stay at the polynesian so, we are spoiled with the proximity to MK and Epcot. What do you all think? We love MK for the kids and Epcot for us.
Since, we live so far away. I think, we'd use the points for the Grand Californian in LA and maybe trade with II. We currently have a timeshare with II so, we are familar with trading. So, has anyone trade with II? Do you have to make a decision early on that you are going to trade with II? How does it work?
Also, is it better to buy resale or from Disney? I know that there is no difference. We are considering buying resale. Are there any hidden costs buying resale?
Thanks if you read this far!
