Points usage question with multiple Home Resorts

[GrazingGoat1966]

A little assistance please because I'm starting to get differing information regarding our DVC situation.

First our status.......We own 100 points at AKV purchased direct from Disney. We are planning to purchase 200 points (re-sale) in a combo from OKW and SS (say 100 points each) in the next 12 months to bring us up to 300 points in total (all with a Dec use year). We are planning to increase our travel frequency to WDW from every 3 years as it is now (from Australia it's a long way!!!), to enable us to at least have the option of travelling every 12 months to 2 years.

Now here is my question. Lets say I have 2 years points accumulated for our 2 week Sep-Oct trip -the most convenient time for us travelling from Australia- (ie 600 points- split into 200 each at AKV, OKW AND SS). At the 11 MONTH OUT BOOKING WINDOW, can I book a week at AKV using 220-230 for a week at a 2 bed standard view, and at the same time book a week at a GV at OKW using 350-360 odd points......or do I have to wait until THE 7 MONTH WINDOW because I'm exceeding my individual home resorts points allocation??

In anticipation of any potential questions, the reason I wish to also purchase SS because I want the option of staying at a THV every second trip or so. I also have the option of not only travelling in Sep/Oct, but it is my preferred option.

Hopefully my enquiry makes sense to you.

Any assistance from those who can help, is greatly appreciated.

At 11 months out, you can only use home resort points at that home resort.

So if you have 200 SSR points, 200 OKW points and 200 AKV points, you could use 200 at SSR, 200 at OKW and 200 at AKV.

At seven months, they all become equal and can be used in any combination.

BUT, if you have different contract numbers (and different UYs), you won't be able to combine points from two resorts at seven months for a single night. You could get two nights here, two nights there, two nights here, but not mix the points for a single night. If you transfer points from one contract to another (and you are limited to one transfer in or out each UY), you can combine them for a single night.

How about this?

Since you'd be doing two weeks, How about 5 Days at AKV 2BR, 5 Days in a THV, and 4 Days in a GV @OKW?

Every scenario for Sept/Oct works out:

SSR THV 178 (F, S,S,M,T) Or SSR THV 170 (S-Th)
AKV 2BR 160 (F, S,S,M,T) Or AKV 2BR 150 (S-Th)
OKW GV 188 (S-W)

SSR THV 183 (F, S,S,M,T) Or SSR THV 175 (S-Th)
AKV 2BR 167 (F, S,S,M,T) Or AKV 2BR 155 (S-Th)
OKW GV 192 (S-W)

You could make all the reservations at the 11 month mark, which is important for all 3.
