Just a (hopefully) fun exercise, there are no wrong answers.

Imagine DVC dropped a one time usage bonus of 1000 points in your grateful li'l lap. The only caveats to using them?

1: The points can ONLY be used during the last half of December 12/16-31, 2009, and you MUST be there for that entire time.
2: You MUST use as many of those 1000 points as possible, AND you can't go over. like the Price Is Right.
3: You MUST stay at a minimum of 3 DVC resorts.

Other than that, you're completely open to using them however you want. You can bring as many people as you want to stay with you, and you can put them in different rooms (OR larger units with you), but they have to move when you move. If you move from OKW to SSR, so do they. YOU still have to stay at 3 different resorts, regardless of the size of your party. And they must be there for the duration of the trip. No "cheating" by only having larger parties there for one half of the trip or the other. And because we're talking about the holiday season of 2009, you've got first dibs, any type of room, even those that are not your home resort, are up for grabs.

Looking forward to seeing your choices.

How would you break that trip down?

Oh, and if it helps, 12/16/2009 is a Wednesday

Ok, here's my Itinerary. I'll have a total of 8 people.
12/16 to 12/23 We'll stay in a GV at OKW for 372 points
12/23 to 12/26 move to a GV @ SSR for 330 points
12/26 to 12/31 stay in a standard view 2BR @ AKV for 249 points
12/31 to 1/1 back to SSR 2BR for 45 points

For a total of 996 points

Only wastes 4 points but one more move than I would have liked.
So what do I win? :)

Scene: Pitch black dark studio. Enter announcer's voice:

Maxs Dad! Come on down! You're the next contestant on The Points Sound Right! (Cheering and stumbling noises are heard in the dark)

Drew Carey: (Voice bouncing around the dark room)Welcome Maxs Dad. Lets see the next vacation up for bid.

Announcer: It's two week's accommodation at WDW!

(Clapping AND OOOHing fills the dark space)

Announcer: That's right Drew. Accomodations for 9 people at Disney's Deluxe Home Away From Home resorts. (the sounds of models hands waving over a cardboard cut out whisp over the air). You'll start your stay at the new Bay Lake Tower in a 2 Bedroom Villa with a Magic Kingdom View (aahhhhhh). You'll check in on 12-16 and check out on 12-20 for 4 nights of magic just outside the gate of the Magic Kingdom itself. But don't worry, its not over yet, cause next you'll be moving over to .... (the sound of props moving back and forth across the darkness) Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas! (whoooo and clapping) You'll be lavishly treated to 7 nights in a 2 Bedroom Villa on the Kilimanjaro Club Level, complete with full concierge service! Celebrate the birth of our savior in styyyyle, relax in the lounge, hell get loaded if you want, but you'll have to leave on 12-27 for ..... (pause .... pause) Disney's Fabulous Board-Walk-Villas!(emphasis on the "las!") Drew, our winner will get to finish off 2009 and ring in 2010 just outside the gates of Epcot, Disney's New Year's Epicenter.:rolleyes: They'll enjoy the endless entertainment oppurtunities of the area from 12-27 through 1-1-2010 in a standard view 2 bedroom villa, with an additional accompanying studio. All this is yours, if ... The Points Sounds Right.

Maxs Dad: (over massive communal snore fest) I bid .... 997 points, Drew. And can you call security, the guy beside me just drooled on my arm?

Good idea Slappy. Thanks. Stuff like this is fun to me. Another one I have done is: what would it take to "Winter at WDW DVC each year in retirement for say Oct-Feb.) BTW, the above breaks down like this:

4 nights at BLT 240
7 nights AKV Club 457
5 nights BWV 300
