Nooooo, you never have to use VGC points to book BLT. In all seriousness, assuming you’re inside 7mo, you should consider getting someone to sell you points around $16/pt via transfer on the buy/rent/transfer board.

If you are ever thinking of using Grand Cal points anywhere at 7m, please read the above statement.

The struggle is real. You can always borrow forwards and then add on contracts in a year or two when you’re maxed out.

Thats the spirit!!

I think the only exception is if for some reason you are within 7m of your own UY and can’t bank them. ((Cues sad trombone))

“Buy where you want to stay” But then I don’t want to use those points anywhere else.

Messes up my whole plan of using that contract for cruise swapping.

I need more points just a little more points. *eye twitch*

Lol, I'm afraid I'm guilty of doing that. Never thought I would, but I was making a reservation for 2024, and the only points I had left to borrow in 2025 were VGC points!

Mam, I have a report that you are using the most expensive points in the entire Disney Vacation Club system to book a property that is readily available at 7m…. I’m going to need you to step away from the computer and show me your DISBoards license and registration.

Uh…. she’s saying something about a Cruise Swap…

Mam, I’m going to need you step away from the computer and your spreadsheet right now….

As a non-VGC owner, I thank you! It’s nice to occasionally have a shot!

I had already used OTUP for a different reservation. I have a 2025 trip booked already at VGC, so these would have been banked into 2026. Any way I'm at peace with it

My Mom is at peace that she had 3 husbands…. it doesn’t mean there weren’t errors in her decision making process that should be analyzed and not repeated by others…

Lol! There's definitely a difference between being at peace and being right!

I felt like my choices were: Use VGC points, or don't make the reservation.

I promise I'll try to do better in the future

You love Aulani… why not go for some @Jimmy Geppetto level AUL offers….

Been eyeing those. Gotta muster up the guts to offer $79

Been eyeing those. Gotta muster up the guts to offer $79

I would just say something like, “I know this is a low offer, but there are over 100 AUL contracts on the market and I am looking for a seller who wants to get their points sold and move on. I understand if this is not your seller, but I wanted to at least make the offer and give them the opportunity to say “no” before I move on to another contract.”

What scared me off on CCV (until I can actual get in the rooms) is that I heard they had a strange layout since they are converted hotel rooms. I heard the rooms at BRV are better.

I have to go see the rooms before I decide if I should buy there.

The CCV rooms are really nice and they did a great job with them. Unlike the hotel conversions at vgf and poly where they basically refurbished hotel rooms.

I’m almost afraid to ask, but you mean swapping through a 3rd party for cruises right? You’re not seriously contemplating DVC’s ~$10/pt exchange, right?

Oh no for sure not through Disney, not even the DVC guy giving us the exchange info could sell himself on selling us cruises as a swap Through a 3rd party like the Board Sponsor or Davids.
