My family is booked in an AKV studio 1/2 - 1/9... very excited! Due to a change in holiday plans, we're now considering going one day earlier. Naturally it is nearly impossible to get a DVC room at this point (for 1/1), though my stalking has resulted in a few pop ups - a studio at Poly, Riviera and SSR have also surfaced. I did not pull the trigger because I'm not ready to commit (since our APs are blocked until 1/3) and the reservation would require me borrowing a few points from next year.
Nevertheless, I'm thinking an extra resort day might be nice. My husband and son could golf. My daughter and I could do a spa day. We could go to Disney Springs. Just enjoy an extra day before my son returns to law school and my daughter to college. I could pay cash, but prices are so darn high for 1/1, even with discounts - and just can't get excited about an extra resort day at All Stars. (DVC spoiled, I know!) My first choice would be to add a night at AKV, though I'd stay in any DVC resort that first night. But... if I snag another room and waitlist AKV, would I lose my borrowed points if AKV requires fewer points and waitlist comes through? The reservation would be a mix of current and borrowed points. Or could MS apply borrowed points to this reservation and return current use year points so I could bank them?
