At Disney Vacation Club® , we know that flexibility is top of mind when it comes to planning your vacations with us. From accommodation types and length of stay to planning for multiple trips per year, we know you appreciate a variety of options.
With that in mind, our team is pleased to share that you are once again able to borrow your full allotment of Vacation Points from your next Use Year to this Use Year.
Hahaha. Just came to post! Too late gor my stay in 9 days (but that worked out anyway thanks to this forum). Now I have enough pointa to plot my GCV stay for next year!
I prefer to borrow so I am never worried about banking windows or “stale” points. I had 10 points that were banked and about to expire and that resulted in quite the expensive adults only trip last December!!
I’m still so thankful that DVC considers half of 25 to be 13 so I’m good for now!
I am hoping to purchase the new Poly, so I know I will have “fresh” points coming down the road. Then I am hoping to even out and have enough points to not have to barrow often.
I’m not sure whether to waitlist another night at Bay Lake.
It would mean shortening the OKW package stay and a) I don’t think I can face trying to get through to WDTC on the phone and b) not sure if a modification would mean we’d lose Genie+. i think it’s meant to be OK but not confident about it. It would be just typical of them to renege on their position.
I think I’ll leave it. I can always rent them out if we won’t be able to use them.
I think this was answered before but I can’t find it: If I do direct-addon points to a resale contract, that doesn’t give the original resale-points “direct-sale” benefits, right?
Meaning I still can’t use those points to book Riveria
I think we had established that you could call to borrow your full points, but nice to know it is official! Was it Len who said that they are trying to get everything back to “normal” by October 1st?
But frankly if they can’t sort out their recruitment problem there’s no chance they can have everything back to normal by then. And before then there’s the inevitable further cuts in September. From what I hear CoH won’t be returning, for example.
I hope that isn’t true. I actually wanted to make taking time to “watch” the Citizens of Hollywood during our 2020 trip…but obviously that wasn’t going to happen. But I remember during a previous trip that some of the limited interaction I DID see happen was one of my most memorable moments in HS. I wanted to focus on that more. It is an example of what sets Disney apart from just being a place to experience rides/shows. It was part of the magic.
RunDisney brings out a whole BUNCH of randoms that are not full time anywhere. So to keep them there and eliminate them overall is (unfortunately) consistent with other rare characters you meet out there on the courses.
But there’s a big difference between a rando-CM in a fur costume waving and a Citizen of Hollywood doing antics. Seems like that’d be keeping a trained performer on stand by needlessly and wouldn’t be cost effective.
