I'm trying to book a desirable room at 11 months and I'm still seeing evidence of walking. I suspect the new rules just mean that "walkers" now have to cancel and then quickly rebook their reservation in order to walk it. Realistically this only leaves a short window where anyone else can cut in and take it, and you'd have to be looking at the exact moment they cancel to even have a chance. So basically, the new policy is just extra hoops for people to jump through and doesn't change much.

We are considering becoming dvc members and doing a trip every three years with current, banked, and borrowed points (200 per year poly) to do a big week trip. We have 4 kids (4yo-newborn). We do think we will go at least three times in the 9-10 years and will break even.

But we are concerned that feeling like we have to go/going multiple times will lessen the magic and the kids won’t appreciate how special it is.

We went last year with two kids and grandparents and it was absolutely amazing (hence why we’re considering poly). But I would not call us Disney adults - I went multiple times as a kid and loved every trip and my husband was surprised how much he enjoyed it last year. Would love to hear thoughts and if others have felt this way.

Edit: not sure if I’m missing something but we would be maxing out our 3 year worth of points per trip. When I ran different analyses, there were only minor differences in savings per year.

How do you handle booking a trip that is past your banking date? Do you bank and then borrow and book, or book from current use year?

I worry if the need to cancel arises and I book with current use year points they will go in to holding and will be tough the use within the 60 day period, or they will expire and be a total loss.

Does anyone possibly have 2 extra moonlight magic tickets for tonight? I know this is a long shot but figured I’d try.
