Can you use the studio in 2017 and the one bedroom in 2018? Is that possible?

Only by depositing the 1BR in to Interval International and trying for an exchange.

Weeks 32 and 33 are part of the Platinum Plus season at Lagunamar. With the week being offered being only a Gold Plus, you can not use it to directly book weeks 32 or 33. Even by paying a fee won't get you those weeks.

The only option to attempt to book weeks 32 or 33 would be to deposit a Gold Plus week in to II and attempt to trade back in to Lagunamar for the weeks you would want to go there. II membership and exchange fees would apply.

With 32 and 33 being summer weeks, their deposits are probably pretty rare. Any that do come up would get grabbed first by those with Vistana preference. Any that don't get taken that way would perhaps be taken by anyone else with an OGS. You would never see these weeks just sitting on deposit with II. Owning Vistana would give you the best shot at exchanging in to one of these weeks since you would have Vistana preference, but I still think these weeks would be a long shot in II. Best to buy a Platinum Plus or Vistana Mandatory StarOptions at another property. There is currently still StarOption availability for week 32 and 33 at Lagunamar when booking directly through Vistana.

I think this one has already sold as I had attempted to purchase and was told it was no longer available. But, there is a Gold season studio on Ebay for Odd years. The link is here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/WESTIN-LAGU...622083?hash=item3adb233a03:g:GLUAAOSwo4pYD5Z-

Before you buy into Gold Plus Season make sure you RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH as the times are not very convenient if you have school age kids. Also, I know other users have found it more useful to buy in aT Mandatory Vistana resort and trade into Gold Plus Season at Lagunamar.

Just my thoughts. Good luck.

I would agree with this. If one wants Gold season Lagunamar, they are probably better buying a Prime season SVV. The maintenance fees along with the SVN fee is about the same amount as the MFs at Lagunamar. It is also rather easy to book in to Lagunamar at the 8 month mark in Gold Plus season. SVV will cost a more since it seems Gold Plus Lagunamar are being given away for free and High Season SVV is about $1000.

Platinum Plus Lagunamar is a different animal. The best value there is to buy Lagunamar and book as home resort at 12 months or to buy WKV Platinum Plus to then book at 8. Lagunamar would be cheaper.
