Discussions referring to "points" are most likely referring to the Disney Vacation Club. We have a board where you can find out all about the DVC, and I am directing this thread there so you may find out all about it.
Points refer to the yearly use allotment which is the benefit of purchasing a membership ( time share) in the Disney Vacation Club. You can also obtain points by "renting" them from a DVC member. There is a lot of start-up info in the DVC FAQ on this board. Just post any questions you have after reading it and members will be happy to answer
