So I bought a tiny 30 point February UY BCV contract this spring. I really want to use it right away at BCV, but have a slight problem. Specifically, it is a 1 point problem.
Back story: my DH is a WDW skeptic who has decided that DVC makes Disney better because he doesn’t feel like he has to do everything in the parks in one visit because “we will be back.” This lead to us originally buying into DVC in order to go every two years; then going DVC for a trip and realizing we have “left over points” that can be spent on the off years as short weekend trips. After doing one of those “left over points” trips, he greenlit a small add on at BVC so we can go 1 time every 6 months... (I know... everyone says DVC gets you to spend more $ rather than save it. I should have listened.)
So, my problem is this, we purchased the tiny 30 point contract to augment our habit. Our next 6 month trip is in January 2020 with our kids. I want to stay at BCV to test drive my new contract, but the January trip is a 31 point stay. The contract was purchased partially stripped and we only have 30 points AFTER borrowing all of 2020’s points.
So, what would the brilliant DisBoard Dwellers do? Stay elsewhere this trip and use the valuable BCV points elsewhere? Book one of the 2 nights in the 11 months and transfer the sad little point from our SSR contract to roll the dice at 7 months? Book for a 2 weekdays instead of one weekday and one weekend night and pull your school aged children from school for a day? Somehow walk the reservation (never done this and I realize that it is controversial on the DisBoards)? Something else that I don’t know how to do as a relative DVC newbie?
