What to do with my 50 pts.
My Dh and I purchased an additional 50 points this Dec in SSR. Due to the timing, I am unable to bank the points in 2007 to use in 2008. Since we are turning to have a baby, we both feel WDW is out of the question this year as I probably will not be able to fly.
Any suggestions on what we can do with our points?

Re: What to do with my 50 pts.
You can't fly when you are preggo? Is it for health reasons? I've been to WDW with both pregnancies. However, earlier in the pregnancy was MUCH better for me! It was an awesome trip. When I went at 7 months pregnant in August, NOT so awesome!
 If you don't want to go to WDW, why don't you rent the points? There may be some takers on this board, or you can also go to the DVC section of the Disboards.

If you don't want to fly, you can ALWAYS drive!

Re: What to do with my 50 pts.
I did the driving and the train once.. and only once. It was horrible. Flying is ok in the early months, but after four months my doctor said no, due to the past history while carrying my first child. So if things go as planned, that give me until May to travel.

So...what about planning a trip in the next month or so, while the crowds are still low and points are low, too?

Re: What to do with my 50 pts.
Dh can't get the vacation time. It is company review time, so he is working crazy hours. I tried for a long weekend and his said it was impossible.

Re: What to do with my 50 pts.
You should try to rent the points, if there is no possible way you think you could go.

Re: What to do with my 50 pts.
Hi Maelae11
Congratulations on the upcoming addition. I am also a DVC member. You might look in to letting another DVC member buy them from you for the 2007 year.

Re: What to do with my 50 pts.
If they are bonus points you got from the recent purchase, call your DVC advisor. I added points and they showed up as not bankable but my advisor took care of it for me.
