Please help answer my question

Hi, We are just back from a wonderful WDW vacation and took the tour. We would love to buy into DVC. My question is this. If we buy into SSR at 150points and buy another resort at resale to get 50 more points will we be able to book both resorts like a home resort, at 11 months out. I really like the boardwalk, i think i will likw ssr when it opens too.We have a large family and I need to get at least 200 points and resale seems the way to go. I am so confused. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
One more question if both resorts have different starting months will this drive me crazy or is it pretty easy to handle. Thanks, Gina

No. You can only book at 11 months with the number of points you have at that home resort. If you only purchase 50 BWV points, you can only use those 50 points to book BWV at 11 months.

You could use banking and borrowing to give you more points every few years. Thus, if you banked your 2004 points at BWV for a stay in '05, and also borrowed your '06 points, you could have as many as 150 available for a BWV ressie. But that would be 3 years' worth of points for one stay.

If you really want BWV, look into a resale.

I agree with tjkraz. Buy where you want to stay. If you're not 100% sure about SSR then wait for a resale at the BWV. Check out The Timeshare Store. Pat Spell handles a lot of resales & does a great job.

JMO, but I wouldn't get a small contract at a DVC resort. I would either get all 200 points & try for a stay at the BWV at 7 months out or buy the 200 at the BWV & try for a stay at SSR at 7 months out. I know others have small contracts at other resorts, but that JMO about it.

Good luck with your decision.
