Thoughts on Vacation Bidding
Any thoughts from the pundits on number of vacation days to bid in annual vacation bidding. Why would anyone specify less than their full vacation number of vacation days ? Do people bid less than the full number on the annual vacation bid and then bid the remainder in the monthly vacation bidding?

Annual Vacation Bidding
Annual vacation bidding for the 2016-17 vacation year begins January 11th. We strongly encourage you to bid all your vacation as vacation forfeiture does not pay the 16% PRAP, and monthly vacation bidding has proven to be less then optimal. Click here for the bidding guide and watch your email for more information from the SSC.

1st year on property...
How do we request vacation? Should I request multiple timeframes to ensure I get the days?
If I don't get the days requested, can I request other days later to make sure I get them?
When can I request vacation?
Sorry for all the questions...
