Little things...

I can understand that you went over your CWP point allotment because points are blind.

My question is.
Did the system allow you to go over your ARP point allocation to make the RARP reservation?

My max ARP would have been 562k points for one particular resort. The total for these 3 reservations was ~918k points. It doesn't look like total ARP points deeded at any particular resort (or even of the PIC variety) applies to RARP.

I need to use that advice for my future Newport vacations. We always skip because we need a 2 bedroom, but a 1 bedroom sleeping 6 will work!

I can't imagine six people and only one bath.

I can't imagine six people and only one bath.

It would only be 4, but my kids can't sleep on the same bed. The one bedroom that sleeps six would be points savings over a 2BR withou putting the kids in one bed.

Oh, and when I visited this summer, I stopped in to see if the 2 bedrooms that sleep 6 face the water. None of them do. Just an FYI.

I still can't imagine six people and only one bath. But, I guess the designer can.

I booked a June 2019 week at Inn at Long Wharf during the last week of August this year. Yes it was at about 10 months, but I did have a choice of June dates. Admittedly that's just anecdotal evidence, but I mention it only because I wasn't even thinking about the ten month thing, I was just browsing places I might want to go to next summer.

I do acknowledge that a recurring event week will probably not be available at 10 months, but that's the stuff we have to learn over time in order to get the most from our ownership. Don't assume. And if you want a week that you believe might be tough to get, keep checking it at 11 months out for availability, and if it's still there when the 10 month point arrives, jump on it. You can always cancel it if your circumstances change.

I would check at midnight at 10 months exactly.

Yes .. this is what we do and it has worked in the past at various resorts.
And then again as the travel time gets closer, people will cancel as well.
