Hi, all.

I am relatively new to DVC having joined in July of 2005. So far, we've only stayed at our home resort, VWL, but we have recently purchased points at AKV.

I have been planning :coffee: (as most, if not all, of us do) and I have kind of settled in on 2 vacations per year, one in May and the other in December. Eventually we'd like to sample other DVC resorts and I think that December would be hard to get at the 7-month period for certain resorts like BCV and BWV for example.

But what about the May time frame? How hard would it be to bag another DVC resort at the 7-month time frame then? Let us say one week into May until later in the month.

While I'm here, what about the early December time frame? :santa: Could one get something like OKW or SSR then or would they ALL be unavailable.

Thanks muchly! :thumbsup2

We got your home resort(VWL) after being on the waitlist about a month, for early May. We picked this trip to try another resort because we figured it would be easier to get one of the "small 3".

Early December= Christmas decorations and low points per night might make things tough. What sort of room are you looking for?

We are looking at a studio for May, and a 2-br for December, which is why I think December will be tough.
