Use Year

[Tdisney]

Is there any draw back to having a use year on the same month you travel ?

If we travel in April, is an April use a bad thing ?

Thanks for every one's advice and help.

A UY just before or durning the month you travel the most is just fine.

No, that would give you lots of time to use those points if you had to cancel a trip. See no problem with it at all.

That will give you the most flexibility in terms of what to do if you ever have to change or cancel a trip.

I do think that you may also want to think about what a secondary travel time might be, either now or in the future. For example, we were deciding between April and June UY's when we were buying. I teach and we mostly go in the summer but when we retire, we would want to go in the fall and/or January.

So, we choose June UY since it works well for what we do now and will also work for our trips in 10 years when we are retired. While any Spring trips would be vulnerable and since those are the ones that would be few and far between, we went with what we felt was the best for both short and long term plans.

Good luck!

Take some time to go through the Use Year Tutorial - link below. If you do, the the comments made by the other posters will make more sense and you will understand when use year is important and why.

Good luck with your DVC research.

We go the first week in Dec. every year and when I bought into BLT I was told it was best to get it in a month that we would most likely go.
