Ok, its getting serious now. I did the Magical Beginnings renting my first UY August points away for around $,3800'ish dollars (still don't regret doing that). But...now wifey is "when can we go to
Disneyland and stay in our new villa? Umh????
I've normally just winged these annual UY months and dates from year to year, but sensing I need to get a game plan going. My target is the California Food and Wine Festive March/April 2024.
We're August use year people, so someone please check my thinking:
Typical annual DVC calendar for August Use Year (UY):
- March 31st - Last day to bank points. Don't be a fool come April 1st April Fools Day. Doesn't much apply to me for 2023 as I used them all! ; )
- August 1st - Receive annual allotment of DVC points. I've rented to Disney my VDH DVC points so no points for me this August.
- September 1st - Begins the 11 month booking wind for home resort(s). Also, able borrow from next year's UY points for home resort only stays. [September 1, 2023 - July 31, 2024]
- January 1st - Begins the 7 month booking window for all resorts. Able to borrow from any home resort and use at all DVC prosperities within a 7 month window. [Jan 1 - July 31]. Never thought of it this way but kinda nice to know that August UY folks have their 7 month windows start on January 1st each year.
So my thinking is that come September 1st 2023, I'll be able to borrow from my August 2024 VDH UY and use those points in March/April of 2024 for a VDH booking.
I do realize the villas are not fully built out yet and that rooms are limited till more are constructed AND more DVC points are sold.
Am I on the right track?
