Hi all,
I've been looking / dreaming of purchasing DVC for the last couple of years. I currently own 2 Hilton timeshares and have previously exchanged into DVC (Bay Lake, Beach Club, & Saratoga Springs), but now with it much harder to trade I think I would like to purchase.
Here's my tentative plan - purchase 50 points on resale for BLT. My bil/sil own there and I like the location so that's where I would like to buy.
I would like to have points to go about every 3 years and as it is just me & my husband I can get a studio in the slow time (when I like to go) for that amount of point by banking prior year and borrowing from next year.
I would then attempt to buy 25 points to BLT from Disney which would get me the discount perks. That way I would have 75 points that I could use to up to a 1 bedroom or studio in a busier time via borrowing / banking.
Does that sound like a plan that would work? Any errors or things I am missing? I know I don't get the various perks for resale and that's fine - I'm only interested in using these for Disney bookings.
Also, if I have two different points at BLT (1 resale & 1 direct) can I still use those together to book during the home resort window?
Thanks in advance!
