Well, I finally decided now is the time for me to join the DVC; rather, I decided it was financially possible, now that Disney is offering 100 point contracts and minimum down payment of $500. I have been planning a trip to the GF with my cousins for Sept since LAST Sept. I plan on using some of my points to spend 3 nights at GF and 2 nights at a 2-BR DVC villa. I know GF is not "point-efficient," but I don't care. I have been planning for GF for so long, I don't want to entirely give it up for this trip.
The problem is, yesterday when I joined, I asked for an Oct 07 use year (so I could have un-borrowed points--I have to borrow next years points for this year--available sooner to vacation) and got it, but when I tried to book the GF today, I wasn't able to do so because it was within the 120 window. My guide said she could rewrite my contract for April 08 use year so it would be no problem, but now I won't find out until tomorrow (or maybe even Monday if my guide decides not to work tomorrow after all). This morning, the room class I wanted at the GF was available, but I'm just sort of freaked out that maybe it won't be by the time I can make my ressie. I try and tell myself I shouldn't worry since it is for September, which is the slow season, but I can't help it. It's just so close! I'm a big planner, and had everything set for this Sept vacation since I upgraded to free dining on April 7. Now I have all this up in the air.
I guess I just need some reassurance. Ultimately, I know I can't do anything until tomorrow morning when member services opens. And, if worse comes to worse, we can always stay the entire week at a DVC villa (not that it would be bad). I was able to confirm my ressie for the last two nights in a 2-BR villa.
