Sorry you missed your window.
Savanna view studios and maybe even standard view studios should be available at 7 months.
We ask that members not look up and post availability for two reasons. One, as you know, availability changes often and unless you are ready to book, there is no relation to now & when you plan to book. Members can only tell if at least one villa is available, so knowing that there may still be openings isn't really all that helpful. Two, we don't want the boards filled with requests checking availability. It makes it harder for other posts to get noticed and puts an unnecessary load on the members' booking engine Thanks for understanding.
Did you waitlist for the BWV? If so, there's a good chance it will work for you. People's plans change all the time.
Once members could see availability real-time, the availability forum was archived. It was just a compilation of what members self-reported as not available when they tried to make a reservation. It was just hundreds of individual snapshots in time that were not updated, since we did not make changes as availability changed. Interesting, but really no more helpful than experienced members' advice.
