Recommend spending some time with the points chart (I like the site sponsor's version better than Disney's). 1 BR TP view at Poly will cost 89 or 98 points for NYE depending on the day of the week. Of course, if you're willing to move over to AKL and use those points, you'll have even more options.

Such a dilemma! Not looking to travel the whole Christmas week (been there, done that imo not all people crack it up to be) however, I would love to have the option of staying in a one bedroom theme park view in PVB for Dec 30-Jan 1 and then move on to a lower point room. To do this I’d need 11 month booking advantage. Is this doable with 150 points? I wouldn’t do it every year but I want options!!

Every other year? Yes but you wouldn’t have much left of those for any other nights.

This is where I always look too, much cleaner layout

I could go to AKL with my 300 points or possibly book more nights at Poly with those points 7 months after securing my New Year’s Eve nights

Exactly what I was thinking. Spend New Year’s Eve (2 nights) then go to AKL. Both can be booked at 11 months

Has anyone here seriously saved money overall with being dvc owners (not just on hotels rooms but overall) because I am spending thousands more.

I'm spending 2-3 times more than I used to. I spend thousands to save hundreds.

It's very notable when a message board full of DVC enablers is saying "pump the brakes".

100%

You do not need to book a separate reservation at 7 months to add additional days using non home resort points.

You simply modify and add days still available. I do this regularly.

Thanks for correcting I know that to be the case not sure what I was thinking.

I’m going to wait to do anything. On my trip in January I will visit Poly but I probably won’t add on for a while..I won’t make the December 10 deadline ..maybe that’s a good thing lol

Yeah, that one's not mine. I am not 100% sure where I got it, though.

The origin of aphorisms is usually hazy, but the consensus on this one if kind of fun. It's possibly a reversal of a line by political scientist Raymond Wolfinger around 1969–1970: "the plural of anecdote is data." Wolfinger was making the point that proof and discovery often follows simple observation and noticing things, plus an acknowledgment that controlled experiments in social sciences are hard to construct.
It was later that statisticians and skeptics turned it around, and that version has become more common.
