Hello! I had a few questions about how points would work when mixing direct and resale! Me and my wife are wanting to finally join the club and purchase 125 points direct for OKW or AK so we can have the benefits that come with direct. We plan on only using these points for DVC hotels. We also understand there might be a waitlist for getting points to a hotel Disney isn’t directly selling at the moment. y questions are
1.Can I buy resale OKW points and combine them with the direct points? Does the use year need to be the same? Trying to figure out if I should just get 200 direct or go the smallest amount for the perks and then add on through resale to save money. Would I be missing out on anything by doing direct with resale?
2. if I were to buy resale points for a different hotel then I can’t use the direct OKW points until the 7 month mark?
3. Staying on resale points one trip and then direct points on another trip doesn’t get different treatment does it?
4. What hotels are hard to get at the 7 month mark? Trying to see if I should do 125 okw and then another resort like bay lake or poly
5. How hard is it to get those value rooms at animal kingdom lodge?
thanks everyone! Really looking forward to becoming a member!
