Vacation planning begins every October and begins with an email confirming an owner's primary weeks (the two weeks attached to the ownership that are owned in perpetuity). Owners can confirm their primary weeks or release their primary weeks in leu of available alternatives. After primary weeks have been confirmed or released, a list of available weeks will be distributed to owners. For each ownership, owners are asked to submit their top ten-week choices in order of preference. Owners should include detailed notes such as back-to-back reservations, special occasions, need for a pet friendly unit, etc. Weeks will be selected one-by-one based on the owner's priority number. Priority numbers shift each year, for example, if an owner's priority number is 3 in 2005, their priority number will be 4 in 2006. If needed, a second request submission may be requested from owners. The vacation planning process is fair and unbiased. Final dates are released in late-November or early-December depending on response time of ownership.
