I'm considering buying into the Hyatt system. I have ready the info on http://www.bywindkal.com/HVC.htm and the stickies and my head is spinning. If Hyatt properties weren't as nice, I wouldn't put up with this complexity!
We are a family of 3. My daughter's school district gets week 7 and week 14 or 15 off. Occasionally friends come with us on trips.
Is it possible to get any of these using wait lists regularly?
LCUP
I'd prefer not to send points to II. I hope to use points during LCUP for weekend trips at HSL (ski season) or Highlands Inn (anytime). Any comments on availability at those locations during LCUP?
What to own?
Which would be a good week to own in this scenario? A few options:

- Beaver Creek studio for weeks 51, 52, 7 and 14/15 (in years when ski resort is open). 750 points max.
- Aspen studio for week 7 and 14/15 : 750 points as well.
- 2 BR @ High Sierra Lodge various weekends (Sat to Tue) in Feb/Mar/April. I can go during Dec/Jan if conditions are good and there is availability. 920 to 1120 points.
- 1 BR in Maui but it's not that important as I have access using SDO trades. 1450 points
- Thanksgiving @ Highlands Inn (2 hour drive).

What to own?
Which would be a good week to own in this scenario? A few options:
- Gold week 8 or 9 at HSL. I will occasionally use this week myself. MF ~1485. Price $3-4K?
- Platinum week 22 to 25 at Wild Oak (very low chance of using it myself). MF ~1265. Price $4-5k?
- Platinum Week 12-14, 18-21 at Sedona. MF ~1100. Price $5-6k?
- Other?
Other questions:
- How many waitlists can you have?
- Can you have waitlists during LCUP?
- Can you combine points from next year during this year's LCUP? I don't mind pre-paying MF.
- Can you modify reservation (move dates or resort) or you have to pay cancellation fee and then another reservation fee?
