NYE full-Chances on Disney collection

[Luv2trav]

DH and I really would like to be there over NYE however everything is full.(I expected that)... What are the chances of getting a moderate through the Disney collection for NYE?

Question for you, were you looking only for the one night?

[Luv2trav]

Actually no. We were looking for Dec 29-Jan 3rd. I know it's prime time.

Have you thought about doing the waitlist? This far out, you might be very successful with that.

[Luv2trav]

I've thought about it. Actually 28th and 29th were available however 30th-3rd was booked solid. Even MS told me it would be hard to get.

I just hate not knowing. I like to plan...

I know that I may have to cancel one room for NYE night at SSR, and I would think that there may be other people that will cancel. Also, I heard that as rooms are being completed at AKV, they are being released to rent out. I have not tried to book anything other than DVC resorts with points, so I am not sure how likely it would be. Hopefully someone will have the answer.

I would put yourself on the waitlist ASAP. NYE reservations do come available. For instance, I am currently sitting on a 2BR *and* a studio at BWV myself, one of which I will be canceling. We go with friends every year and we NEVER know if they can make it until the very last minute (mid November) so I cover our butt with a second studio reservation. Another option is to rent a reservation from someone else. I see them pop up over on the rent/trade board every year.

Thanks for the advice. I will put in for a waitlist. I don't want to rent because I have 400 DDP to use... :thumbsup2

I would try waitlisting. We are booked Dec. 30th thru Jan 5th and we had to waitlist for the 31st and it came through a couple of weeks ago. Good luck. :goodvibes

Keep trying for a DVC property--we were able to book a 1BR at SSR in mid-December for NYE a couple years back.

waitlist, waitlist, waitlist.

NYE is so far out, you will have someting come thru. Also, have MS automatically book the room if it becomes available.
