Anyone ever land a studio at VGF at the 7 month mark? If so when?
@drusba You seem to have a real understanding on how this works. better than most really. So let me ask you how could it be difficult at the 11 month mark if no one can book before you? Is it just overlapping days?

WOWZERS!!!! Yeah I guess if you want to stay there you should buy there. Which is always what has been said "buy where you want to stay"
Actually, I would not recommend to anyone to buy there at all if they want a studio. Once you see there is a real possibility of being blocked out even at 11 months for very popular times, you would be better served looking elsewhere. This a not a situation where one category of studio at the resort can go before 11 months out like at BLT for standard view, but an issue that no studios at the resort could be available. At least at BLT and AKV you have other options for studios that are usually open far beyond the 11 month window. Moreover, if a studio is what you need, then you are mostly stuck to always reserving 11 months out at VGF just to be safe even during slow seasons and thus if you suddenly get the desire at 9 months out to take a trip, your out of luck.
I have a different point of few. You will be able to stay at VGF in a studio at most times of the year if you own there by booking at your 11 month window. If you don't own there you will almost never stay in a studio except for a day or two here and there. Some people this year got upset trying to book the 1st couple weeks of December in a studio and getting shut out. That will happen. I actually was able to book Dec. 13 to 20, 2015 the morning of my 11 month window in a standard studio. I have stayed in nothing but standard view studios at VGF. This past Oct for 5 nights and March 8 to 13 a couple weeks ago. I am in the Buy where you want to stay camp. People tend to cherry pick certain instances and make it sound that is what happens most of the time. Most of the time you will be able to book a studio if you can plan well in advance. Preferably at close to 8am at the 11 month window as possible.

As an owner who has just bought extra VGF points to be able to book 1 bedrooms rather than studios due to difficulties with availability I disagree with this. Many times of they year outside December owners are being locked out because too many people bought with the intention is only staying in studios. VGF is an abnormal is due to the high points cost and low studio count which mean studios are exceptionally difficult year round. Sure they can be booked at 11 months but there will often be some people disappointed
