We started with 250 points but we found that we could not split 250 points between our children even if we added 50 more points. So we bought another 250. Now each child gets 250 points. One child will get the Boardwalk and one will get the Beach Club, after Dad "No longer needs them."
We wanted each child to have a magical Disneyymoon. My son is getting married in the spring and will spend a week at the Beach Club and then take a 4 day Disney cruise (590 points total). My daughter is ready to plan her trip, as soon as Prince Charming gets the idea.
We bought 200 points at SSR in August, 40 a week later at BWV and am about to get 200 more points at SSR for the same reason as Duckielucky. After the talk on the board about passing down the points to our children, I realized I could not split one 200 point contract between my two daughters. So we are buying another 200 at SSR to make it even. Oh darn, what shall I do with 200 more points?!?
We are first time DVC owners and just bought 160 points at SSR on Thursday. I hope to go "home" for the first time in Nov for the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. We're going to WDW in early Dec and staying at my son's home resort, BWV. We bought sight unseen so I'm hoping to see the models while we're there and get a peek at SSR from DD.
