What Use Year should I look for?

A little confussed about Use Year.

We travel to Disney mostly in May, September and October. Maybe the occassional Christmas Trip.

My trips will also be every three years so I will be traveling on banked and borrowed points if that makes a difference.

Thanks!

I would say that April or September UY will work for you. If you go with April, then it leaves Jan, Feb and March as the most vulnerable for travel.

If you go with September, it leaves June, July, and August as most vulnerable.

Having a UY that happens just before time of travel is the most ideal because it allows for flexibility if you have to cancel a trip and rebook it. Given that you will routinely book with borrowed and/or banked points, choosing one of these would be important.

Good luck!

Thanks I guess I had the right idea. I was thinking April.

So let's see if I got this right, if I banked and borrowed into Year 2012 and made a ressi for May 2012 and cancelled in let's say February, I would have till March 2013 to use my banked and borrowed points since I couldn't bank them. So I could travel that year at my other favorite time of September/October or even December.

that's the right idea, yes. as long as there is availability, you can still use the pts prior to march 2013...(and naturally, you could bank the current 2012 pts into 2013 if you preferred.)
