Ali. From my observations I think they are empty the bulk of the time. Now I don't wait outside all day but I rarely see people going in them!

We have 380 points total, 150 at SSR, 180 at BCV and 50 at Poly. We started with our SSR points in 2015 and can’t stop adding on 🙈

we got developer points back in the day and had enough to stay in one but for us albeit they are lovely we never used the likes of the dining room

will never have enough points again unless we skip loads of years

160 direct at BLT in 2009 at $112

added another 125 BLT via a resale the next year at $95

140 SSR resale in 2011 at $57, couldn't turn down such a bargain!

Have plenty for our needs right now but never say never!

We initially bought 350 at SSR in 2007, no idea on cost probably around $75 pp

We then added on 150 at BLT in 2009 for around $100 pp

So we have 500 total which we make work very hard for us! Recently we’ve been doing 3 weeks in 2 bedrooms every 18 months, however our eldest starts school in September so we’ll have to start going at more “expensive” times plus we are a family of 5 now so when my parents join us it can be a bit of a struggle even in a 2 bed. I’m desperate to add on but the husband says no!

We bought 130 points at the Polynesian at the end of 2017. We plan to buy between 125-175 points at Copper Creek but the exchange rate is holding us back at the moment.
