Don't know if you've tried this yet, but it is fantastic! You can search more availability at once instead of the the old back and forth.
I wish Marriott would adopt a system like this.
You can search availability across resorts!

So Cool!!!

What's super cool is you can finally find out what's available even if you don't own at a particular resort. It opens up opportunities to switch points with other owners and rental opportunities. (Now I wish I still had 1600 points)

For example I'd swap enough points at Disney's Beach Club Villas to stay at Disney's Villas at Wilderness Lodge with an owner there. I could make a reservation for her and she for me.

Or I could transfer points into another owner's account so I could get into a week I can't reserve myself.

Also, if I rent my points I can check availability in one place for multiple resorts. I spend hours doing those kind of searches.

This tool is really, really outstanding.
