Reserving and short a few points

[NJMomto2]

i thought I read that Disney allows you to pay cash for reservation points if short less than 20 points. Is that right? How much is it?

You can get one time use points, up to 24. They are $15 per point, and can only be used at the 7 month window. They cannot be used in Home Resort Priority windows.

And you need to call MS to purchase & use them.
