There's nothing wrong with spending a few days at another Orlando resort and then transferring you and your stuff to a DVC resort...we've done this when we were short of DVC points. We own both MVC and HGVC and consider the 'all 3BR and very close to WDW' Imperial Palms ideal for this.Evidently not enough. My cousin would be handling the reservation but she doesn't have enough for a full week right now. We will have to decide if we want to do a partial week. Thanks for the advice!
