Disney fans in the know have a long standing tradition of if you don’t hear the answer you want the first time, hang up & rinse/repeat
IMO pixie dust needs not to apply in this situation. The perk needs to be distributed in accordance with whatever rules they set forth
I’ve a real problem with the concept of on-site only guests being able to utilize their APs & an arbitrary number of days allotted for all members no matter how many points they own or what accommodation they book
Currently, availability is still tight for on-site rooms. Many DVC members still report being unable to find room at the inn (cash or on points).
I’ve had it happen at popular type/resort/times of year (when talking studio units) & even when we are talking 11 mo window
We visit our happy place often, working that AP. I stretch our points to make it happen via booking studios. When our points are exhausted, look to WBC or DTD hiltons. Not above revisiting the values for shorter stays, if price is reasonable.
For a trip booked ‘spur-of-the moment’ a month out earlier this year, we wound up paying $250+ APH
a night for standard room. Ouch. It was the only on-site resort with availability for our dates.
My own version of blue-skying any version of upcoming passes re “X” Number of nights per year, factors in a few variables, including:
*how many points an owner has in hand, then prorating the X factor to cover booking studios in the lowest seasons
&
*Allowing for at least the addition of another few weeks booked on-site thru CRO
Do I expect it to eventually roll out that way, of course not
