Hi guys! We have rented points to go to Aulani twice in the last 2 years. Last year we did the DVC tour and it made us want to buy in even more, but at the price I knew I could do better on resale.
As a new potential buyer, I just have a few questions.
About us:
-Live in Orlando/AP holders
-Currently just a couple + baby on the way, but envision potentially borrowing/banking or paying for points to take both sides of family to Aulani
-Love Disney's Vero Beach
-We will travel in the non-peak seasons as we have a lot of flexibility on dates
Questions:
-Does it make sense for us to buy at Aulani or elsewhere? This is likely where we'd use the points most of the time. Probably every two years for a week. For a while, just a studio would be fine. We do live in Orlando so we can take advantage of staycations and be very flexible if we wanted to use the points here at home. We also LOVE vero beach so we will definitely use them there some too.
- Use year? If we tend to travel to Aulani in Fall/Winter , do we need to buy August use year? I saw a smaller contract with a June use year I was interested in making an offer on.
-How many points? Should we just get enough for a studio every 2 years? Somewhere around 75pts? I figure if we like it we can add on later, and we would likely have to, if we wanted to do a grand villa at Aulani when the baby on the way is 4-5.
Any suggestions or information I should know before putting in an offer?
Thanks!
