how do I work out?

So have tried to follow the pages on here to work out points etc
But, when it states a week stay points is that the points per night?

EG I am looking at end Mayish Dream season SV 19 points?
What does this mean? Is 19 per night? How many points should I need to buy for a week?

Thank you

studio? SV at which resort?

19 times 7 to get the approx number of points, weekends are a little higher than weekdays but I guess you may be quoting an average number (where did you get it)?

In point charts the weekly amount is just a convenience to show you the point required to book one week that falls entirely in a season. That value is never really applied, the cost per night is what counts. Using a calculator as suggested is the easiest way to calculate the cost in point for a vacation.

Thank you.
so it was Animal Kingdom Savannah View for 7 nights, so I think I read the DIBB point chart correctly and it only stated 19 points so this I guess is per night, which then is the 19x7=133, it just doesn't seem a lot of points for a whole week?

Just pick your dates on the left, add the dvc resort and room type on the right and it will tell you the total points required.

The season you pick makes a huge difference.

A Savannah Studio ranges from 102 points a week to 181 points a week.

Drop down to a value studio (hard to get) and you're looking at 60 to 111.

If you give me your dates I’ll be glad to tell you how many points you need :-)

DN whilst you say that 133 doesn't sound a lot, that's about £1800/week in monetary terms
