we got bwv!

[Kerlynne]

Patience has played off. We have boardwalk!! We were waiting for about 3 weeks and Robin, from Disney called and said we got it! Whoo Hoo! It is UY October, with 150 points.
I had to take a break from reading the boards, because everytime I would come and read, I was upset that it hadn't gone through yet. So now that we have the green light, here comes more questions.
Now, there are still 2003 points that we can't use. We are thinking about renting them out. If not all, then just the ones we won't be able to bank, since we are now in the 25 % window.I think if i'm understanding this right. We only have till July 30 to even bank those 25 % . My question is, if they all expire this October, when will someone have to use them by. Does it go by October 1 check in date? Like for example can someone use them for a 5 day stay, check in October 1 and go for 5 days later? Or does all vacation days have to be used up Oct 1?

Congratulations!

With an October use year, the last night you could use them without banking is September 30th. Have you considered splurging on something like conceirge at one of the Disney resorts?

Congratulations and WELCOME HOME

Isn't it wonderful to suddenly have all these problems trying to figure out how to use up older points on your contract

Have fun!

I was in a similar situation with a contract a couple of years ago. We deposited the points with II for a trade and started a search for a place to go in the future. You can get up to two additional years to plan a trip to one of the Interval resorts by doing this. We ended up going to a Mariott on Hilton Head about 1 1/2 years after our points had officially expired.

Good luck.

CONGRATULATIONS . . . AND WELCOME HOME !!!

Not only do we love the location and convenience of staying BWV - I actually love being surrounded by all the memorabilia and 'scenes' that I live with and enjoy here at the Jersey shore (as a teen I worked in a little coffee shop next to Lucy the Elephant - I just love walking into the lobby and seeing her on the mantle!) - you'd think I'd get tired of it, but surprisingly it makes BWV feel even more like 'home' to me !!

Hey sis .. Welcome home.. lol

 

[finster]

You're going to love it.

Actually sitting in a 1BR there today, we're leaving in about 2 hours for the airport to go home

We were at OKW for dinner at Olivia's last night, and as much as I love OKW, I'm very happy that BW is our home resort.

BJakmom love that coffee shop.. Anyway that is one reason why I wanted to get BWV and now I am glad to see my sis finally get it . It really feels like we never left the sj area... Love seeing the pantings of Capemay and so on..

My experience is as follows:

1. You can rent. Expect $9 going to $7 as you get closer to 9/30/04.
2. >60 days out you can deposit into II for future use.
3. >60 days out you can book Non-DVC Disney properties (for travel within the 60 days.

(inside 60 days DVC resorts will be your only option)

4. Have these points been banked already by prior owner? It sounds like they are current year points with the window closing on you. I would suggest that you explain you story to MS and ask for one-time exception to bank all. They should do this for you (unless they were already banked once).

Good luck

:thewave: Already off to a good start!! Talked to MS, and his name was Todd. And he willingly let us bank 2003 points without me begging! So we are doing the "Newtron dance"! LOL
So we are thinking, since we have this "extra" points now, to use them with 2004 points to apply to a cruise. Probably best time, since we will not "feel" the lost of this one year(2003).
Thank you all for your guidance!
