OK DH and I have decided we want to book a standard AKV room form 11/3-11/10/18. Of course those rooms have spoty availability now on the RAT. I decided to waitlist a full week at Jambo and a full week at Kidani for those dates.
The reason I did a whole week and not a day on either side is this will be on borrowed points. So if I get the full week waitlist they will borrow 88 2018 points into a 2017 UY. Those dates are at the end of my UY ( like three weeks from the end). Right now if I book four consecutive day those points are borrowed…signed…sealed and delivered….if I don’t get a smaller waitlist on either side then I am stuck with a four night reservation…that I have to use….and I mean HAVE TOO.
I am just trying to use the 2018 points I have for the longest stay possible. I felt like if a spelled it out in writing, I could see that just trying for a week at my home resort and hoping someone cancels a whole week would be safer than piecing it together so close to the end of my UY. Of course if we can’t go, then I will live to visit next year…and the year after that… and the year after that
DH is retiring in March and I turn 50 in November. Still within my home resort booking window and gone are the days when you could build a semi spontaneous trip with a resort the size of Kidani. So I guess my safest option is to wait til 7 month booking and see what pops up? Maybe I will get it then? DH says, “ I can’t go for just four days…are you crazy?” But I think I want, what I want, when I want it.
Enough of this thinking on a Sunday morning while it rains outside. After 10 years of ownership, I am a pawn on the chessboard of DVC Reservation World. Thanks for letting me rant and preach to the choir.
