Sure. Just request that your reservations for both units be linked by member services. I do this all the time. Why not get a grand villa. The ones at AKV are really incredible.

AKL is Animal Kingdom Lodge (mixed units but most are cash rentals which is why MOST of the dining is available in that building) ... AKV is Animal Kingdom Villas (all timeshares with full kitchens).
We have stayed at Kidani Village a couple times but we only needed a 2 bedroom those times. We have since added 2 grand babies and now I'm trying to figure out the best utilization of our points.....the easy answer is to buy more points LOL
It's the only way I will buy more. I can't justify direct pricing unless it was on a small 50pt contract. I'm thinking of adding around 150, or I could make the kids buy their ownResale points? Would those points be tainted?

You can buy as low as 25 points direct once you are a member.ROFL at "tainted"...There are only a few restrictions on resale points:
On resale purchases since March 21, 2011 (prior purchases grandfathered):
On resale purchases since April 4, 2016 (prior purchases grandfathered):
- Cannot use resale points for Disney Hotels, Cruises, Adventures by Disney
Otherwise, you can still use resale points for:
- Do not get "Membership Extras", including:
- Discounted AP
- Merchandise and Food Discounts
- Member-exclusive events
The 2011 restrictions weren't really valuable financially speaking -- more of a convenience factor. The 2016 restrictions can be significant -- e.g. The AP discount can save $200 per person per year (Gold AP only available to DVC members vs. Platinum AP), which can add up for a family of 4, for example. The food and merch discounts are the same as those available with an AP, so if you are an AP holder, the only difference is the savings on the AP. The member exclusive events are nice (e.g. we went to Typhoon Lagoon for free including snacks and drinks), however they are few, and far between -- just luck of the draw if one is being held during one of your trips.
- DVC resorts
- RCI
- Club Cordial
- Club Intrawest
One common practice is to buy resale then add on 50 points direct to gain the 2016 benefits (if you own any direct contract, you will receive the 2016 benefits).
Depends on which resort you are buying. Some are restricted to 50 point add-on officially, although YMMVYou can buy as low as 25 points direct once you are a member.

Only the ccv are restricted to 50 points that i have seen posted. Has anyone talked to a guide and found out for sure? I have no interest in ccv so have not talked to my guide.Depends on which resort you are buying. Some are restricted to 50 point add-on officially, although YMMV
