SSR Lovers and Owners Part 2

[Dizny Dad]

The more political ads are bounced off of my head, the more I need to concentrate on the next Disney trip. Oh, won't November 3 be a blessing no matter what happens Nov. 2!

Amen! I'm tired of them too.

Abso-posi-lutely!!! I voted my mail yesterday in part so I can say "already voted" to any mis-guided person/recorded message that comes in on my phone.

We added on points last month and were told they are now selling the points added by the Treehouse addition, the original SSR points have all been sold - don't know how much is left... (of course, they do not break down the THV and SSR points in terms of ownership).

There was a point before the THV's came online adding more SSR points that Disney said that SSR was "sold out", but according to others that doesn't necessarily mean that there are no points left. Some contracts that haven't closed could have been cancelled, few points left in isolated UY's, etc. There is also ROFR, we don't know how many points DVC has or is taking back (although they don't appear to be ROFR many contracts). There is also a number of people just on the DIS that have talked about "give backs" or people that have defaulted and DVC has regained those points.

SSR was the resort being sold at the height of the economic boom and with that fact and that it is the largest resort.....it is just understood there will be substantially more resalse/foreclosures from that resort more than others. OKW for instance, most of those contracts were paid off a long time ago, so even with an economic downturn it is an asset that is more protected, unless someone just needs to liquidate.

Good Morning SSR Family. I need some advice on split stays. Our next trip will be 8 or 9 nights, and we are thinking about doing 2 nights at AKV before coming home to a 1-bdrm @ SSR. Not sure how to do the original booking. Since we are over the 7 night booking maximum, would it be best to do a 2 night reservation when the window opens, then a 7 night reservation two days later? My concern is requesting the "move" to AKV without losing our reservation at SSR for the balance of our stay. Advice??

Do you own at both locations? If so it won't be a problem. Just book 2 nights at AKV at 11 months and then book 7 nights at SSR at 11 months.

If you do not own at both, presumably you would book SSR at 11 months in two increments. Then you would change the first two nights to AKV at the 7 month point there won't be a problem losing the SSR room reservation for the balance of your stay because you already have it. I did this with a 10 day stay a couple years ago.

We do not own at AKL, just like to experience all of the DVC properties. So - I guess my reasoning is validated by your response above - thanks so much, I really appreciate your input!! I generally do not enjoy split stays because I am a "nester". Moving out of my comfort zone on this one.....

AKL has 4 point values - V, S, Savanna, Club - which may figure into the number of points you need if you are borrowing. Also, the advantage of booking SSR at the 11 month window is that if you can't get the 2 nights at AKL, then you still have the number of days you wanted on vacation.
